Product Details
Description:
For high-speed touring, racing, and all-around glide efficiency, strap on the simple GlideLite Mohair Pure STD skins from Black Diamond that feature adjustable tip loops and no tail attachment. Made of 100% mohair, these skins are lighter in weight, more packable, and are naturally water resistant thanks to the oil in the natural fiber, making for efficient and quick gliding.

Features:

  • Offering superior glide for faster, more efficient touring with lightweight mohair material that benefits from the oil in the natural mohair fiber as it has inherent water-repellent capabilities
  • Get the best grip around with Black Diamond's proprietary Gold Label Adhesive that is formulated for a wide range of temperature and endures season after season use
  • Pack them up without a second thought - the thin, supple laminate construction is easy to fold
  • Available in 15 mm increments from 80 to 125 mm
  • There are 3 choices in sizing skins for your skis:
  • Maximum climbing ability: size equal to or slightly less than the width of the ski tip; trim to fit with included trim tool
  • Lightest & most compact (recommended only for skis with less than 20 mm sidecut): size approximately 5 mm (no more than 10 mm) narrower than width of the ski waist; no trimming necessary - just center them on the ski
  • Best of both worlds: choose a skin about 10 mm narrower than the tip for skis with less than 20 mm sidecut, about 15 mm narrower for skis with 20 – 30 mm sidecut, about 20 mm narrower for skis with more than 30 mm sidecut. Then just trim them to fit with included trim tool.

Specifications:

  • Weight per pair: 1 lb 6 oz
  • Material: 100% mohair


Specifications based on size 110 mm.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Black Diamond Glidelite Mohair Pure STD Skin:

I bought these and used the Ski Trab tip and tail with my duo freerando lights. I ski in the Wasatch and everyone says that you need nylon because of the skin track pitches. I have found this to be untrue, at least with these skins. They grip very well (no trouble with wasatch skin tracks), are light-weight, and glide beautifully( far, far, far better than nylon). I guess the only downside is the increased price over nylon (small difference). Another con could be decreased durability compared to nylon. So far I have about 50 days on these with no signs of wear yet. But only time and use will tell. With spring arriving, we'll see how they do with wet snow. I've heard that mohair is inferior with wet snow.

Bottom line: For winter snow, if you have the money, I don't know why anyone would want to ski with nylon.
