Designed for skiers who want one skin to handle everything from long approaches to steep alpine climbs, these skins are tough, versatile, and easy to use. The universal nylon plush provides consistent traction while maintaining smooth glide, making uphill travel efficient and predictable. An advanced FFDWR (PFC-free durable water-repellent) treatment reduces water absorption, helping prevent icing and keeping the skins lighter and more reliable in wet or variable snow. Thoughtful hardware details ensure secure attachment and quick transitions. The lightweight, self-aligning tip connector and low-profile tail strap create a strong, stable fit across a wide range of ski shapes. A removable rip strip makes skin separation easier when packing and can be removed for maximum adhesive strength when conditions demand it. Designed to be trimmed to fit, the ALPINIST+ Universal Skins come ready for customization and long-term performance, making them a trusted choice for backcountry skiers who value reliability and simplicity.
