Found a skin that's great in between!
Got the 135 width for bent 110 and wow this is great in between glide and climbing! I tested this in Blackcomb and Whistler flute summit and fantastic! Easy to put on and easy to take off !
Improved performance
I owned a previous generation of the Glidelite skins which have been troublesome given the stickiness of the glue. This generation of skins are vastly improved over the previous ones. I also appreciated the new tool for trimming the skins to fit. I also like the updated "toe" piece which is lower profile and fits into place much more quickly. These skins pack down much smaller and are overall much easier to manage in the backcountry!
Love these skins
I can not tell you how many times I have had to help friends replace their plastic tail clip when following them up the skin track. The tail clip on the Glidelite has never come off my skis when skinning. The combo mix has good glide and traction. The glue is bomber. The trim tool makes it easy to cut the perfect wall to wall carpet fit on your skis. I use these skins on all my skis. Love them!
Glide Right!
Cut easily with provided tool, no need to shift the skin from side to side. And it looks like the blade in the tool can be replaced. . . BONUS! They climb well, but the tail piece drags a bit on hard frozen snow. The glue is tenacious, and I have to completely take my skis off to remove my skins, which is a bit of a bummer. Otherwise, no complaints.
Much improved
GREAT skins. Much lighter than the nylon version I have from a few seasons ago. Gave these a chance over over *ahem* competitors known for their mix skins and don't regret it. Per usual, the glue on these is pretty strong skin to skin, but it seems much more an acceptable ratio than in past years. I used to need help to get my skins apart.
Tons of grip and excellent sliding
These skins are great uphill and down. The glue is bombproof. They have tons of grip going uphill. I have them mounted on DPS Wailers with 112 mm underfoot so traction is not a problem. They are light and easily pack away for the next mission.
Glide light mix fixed climbing skins
I have only had the opportunity to use these once, but they worked great so far. The “new style” skin cutting tool is awesome though the instructions supplied reference the “old style” tool, so I had to figure it out on my own. Great skins!
Okay
Great glue, good balance of climb and glide. Above average fraying of fabric is my main complaint. Harder to cut cleanly than others. I don't use the cutting tool, finding razor blades to be superior. Large packed/rolled size.
Perfect skins
Bought these for my son. but I used a pair all last year and loved them. No issues. Took my large framed body up anything I could do without much slipping. Seemed to glide better than previous skins I have used as well.
These skins just work!
I finally wore out my last pair of the same skins after a few years of heavy use. This was a no brainer to replace with the same skin. They have good glide and great grip when it counts on a steeper skin track.
