DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a special coating applied to ski skins that makes them water-resistant. This treatment is crucial because it helps prevent water from soaking into the fabric, allowing the skins to maintain their performance in snowy or wet conditions. With DWR treatment, you can enjoy better traction and glide, ensuring a more efficient and enjoyable skiing experience.

Skin savers are thin sheets or strips that you place between the adhesive sides of your ski skins when storing them. They prevent the adhesive from sticking to itself, which can cause damage and reduce the skins' effectiveness over time. Using skin savers helps prolong the life of your ski skins, ensuring they remain functional and reliable for your skiing adventures.

The tail attachment is a mechanism that secures the back end of your ski skins to your skis. The STS hardware is a specific type of adjustable tail attachment that allows you to customize the fit of the skins to different ski shapes and sizes. This ensures that the skins stay securely in place during use, providing you with optimal performance and stability on the slopes.

Blended skins are made from a combination of materials, typically mohair and nylon. This blend is designed to optimize performance by providing excellent grip (traction) on the snow while allowing for smooth gliding when moving uphill. The combination of these materials helps skiers and snowboarders efficiently navigate various terrains, making blended skins a versatile choice for all types of snow conditions.

Fixed length ski skins come in specific lengths that need to be trimmed to fit your skis. Unlike adjustable skins, which can change length, fixed-length skins require you to cut them down to the appropriate size for a proper fit. This ensures optimal performance, as a well-fitted skin will provide better traction and glide, enhancing your overall skiing experience.

If you want to extend the life of your ski skins and maintain their adhesive quality, using skin savers is highly recommended. They are especially useful if you frequently store your skins for extended periods or if you want to prevent any potential damage to the adhesive. Investing in skin savers is a simple way to protect your gear and ensure it performs well when you hit the slopes.
