    The Black Diamond Ascension Nylon STS climbing skins feature an improved printed plush material with better glide than before and the same great grip when climbing.

    • Printed plush material lets you climb steep slopes in search of deep powder; improved material is designed to glide better than previous versions
    • Tenacious glue effectively sticks to your skis in all temperatures
    • Adjustable tip attachment fits a wide range of ski tip shapes; tip loop width adjusts from 80mm to 105mm
    • Tip design eliminates the traditional fold-over section at the front of the skin, thereby reducing weight and bulk
    • STS tail attachment fits any ski you have on hand
    • Black Diamond Ascension Nylon STS climbing skins include detailed instructions, skin trimming tool, Cheat Sheet mesh storage sheets and a nylon storage bag
    • Maximum length of the skin is 200cm; STS tail allows 10cm of length adjustment
    • Please note: weight spec represents a pair of untrimmed skins

    Please note: Black Diamond products can only be shipped to the U.S. and Mexico.

    Made in USA.

        Comments about Black Diamond Ascension Nylon STS Climbing Skins:

        the good: REI was great in refunding, so no loss there, will use REI again; skin carpet grips snow well

        the terrible: from dry Colorado snow to wet Canadian snow, glue looses it's stickiness quickly (3rd use), in wet snow pretty much no stick (except for residue it leaves on base of the skis), tail strip rips out at metal gusset easily (gusset gets lost on trail), after first swap from off to on the skis while on the trail, the glue is toast (even with all the tricks of keeping it clean, warmed in coat, etc). What happened to the BD glue? My old BD skins stick fine.
