G3 Alpinist Climbing Skins - REVIEW

Skins are the kind of gear you want to be able to take for granted. If they are working fine, there’s not much need to think about them. If they aren’t working fine, your tour can go from fun to nightmare, in no time at all. With the exception of the now-improved tail cam we talk about in the video, the Alpinist skins do the trick and perform when and how you need them. The glue is sticky but not overly so, the plush has a good grip but still slides nicely. The toe attachments work perfectly for fat skis—unlike some of the loops on other models which can pop off unexpectedly. I skinned up in powder, hard pack, on steep sections, cross slopes, etc. Even on the flats, they performed no problema.
