Ã…snes X-Skin Climbing Skins
Revolutionary Traction: Short skins for big adventures
Unlock your Ã…snes skis with the patented X-Skin system. These short skins integrate perfectly with the Skinlock connection on compatible Ã…snes skis, providing dependable grip in the kick zone without the bulk of a full-length skin. Perfect for climbing, pulling a pulk, or navigating deep snow, while maintaining efficient glide on flat and rolling terrain.
Choose your material:
- 100% Mohair (Angora goat hair): The ultimate for glide and efficiency on cold, dry snow. Best for long-distance touring, ski mountaineering racing, and refined technique. Trade-off is less durability and reduced grip on steep, icy slopes.
- 100% Nylon (Synthetic): Maximum grip and bombproof durability. Ideal for steep climbs, pulling heavy loads (pulks), warm/wet spring snow, and skiers prioritizing traction over glide. Noticeably slower and heavier than mohair options.
- Mohair/Nylon Mix: The all-arounder, offering the best of both worlds. Blends the efficient glide of mohair with the robust grip of nylon, providing balanced performance across a wide range of terrain and conditions.
