    In words

    Intro
    Heavy-duty comes immediately in mind to describe these skins. The fabric base is nicely water-resistant, as shown in our tests, and is thick and stiff, making it less likely for the adhesive side to stick to itself, even if you've never used skins before. The mohair is both dense and fairly long, good for cold, powdery snow (making it an option for freeriders not worried about a little extra weight). The Smart Glue is strong, but it separates pretty easily if stuck together and is easy to remove from fat skis, even in the cold.
