What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I used the Glidelite Alpine Touring Skins across a full season of dawn patrol laps, and the Gold Label adhesive never gave me trouble packing down or peeling apart in the cold. The reinforced tip loop fit my ski shape without any fuss, and glide felt noticeably better than the skins I'd been using before."
Black Diamond built the Glidelite Alpine Touring Skins for the skier who's out from the first big storm of the season straight through the last spring mission. A mohair and nylon plush blend strikes a real balance between traction and glide, so climbing feels efficient without sacrificing the grip you need on a steep skin track. The Gold Label adhesive sticks reliably lap after lap while still peeling apart clean, even as the season wears on.
A reinforced tip loop fits a wide range of ski shapes, and a streamlined metal tip paired with a best-in-class tail clip keeps the skins locked in through transition after transition. Pre-cut to reduce drag and paired with an included offset trim tool for dialing in the fit, these skins are built to keep you moving light and fast, wherever the season takes you.
