Pomoca Ski

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Pomoca skins are best for racing, all‑around touring, or a lightweight powder setup?

  Choose Race Pro 2.0 for racing and speed-focused laps—the ultra‑light backer, Glide Pro surface and SSUL/Vertical membranes minimize drag and pack weight. For all‑around touring pick Climb Pro S‑Glide or Tour Pro (S‑Glide/Ever Dry 3.0) for a balanced glide/grip ratio and improved anti‑icing. Free Pro 2.0 is the go‑to for powder/lightweight setups with the lightest backer and Safer Skin Light membranes.
• How do mohair, mohair/nylon blends, and nylon‑heavy Pomoca skins perform and when should I choose each?

  100% mohair offers the best glide and is ideal in cold, dry snow where forward efficiency matters. A 70/30 mohair/nylon blend (common in Climb Pro and Race Pro lines) balances glide with added durability and better performance in mixed conditions. Nylon‑heavy velvets excel in wet, spring‑like snow for superior grip and resistance to glopping.
• What do Pomoca membranes (SSL/SSUL/Vertical) and glues (Hotmelt, Ever Dry 3.0) change about skin performance?

  Membranes like SSL, SSUL and Vertical make skins waterproof and significantly lighter or stiffer depending on the construction—SSUL/SSL target minimal weight for racing while Vertical adds durability and shape stability. Pomoca’s Hotmelt and Ever Dry 3.0 proprietary glues are formulated for different climates (dry vs. humid) and are designed to maintain tack through many transitions; choose the glue suited to your typical snow humidity.
• How do I size and fit Pomoca "Ready to Climb" skins to prevent creep and ensure proper performance?

  Start with the Ready to Climb length matching your ski length and pick a width that covers the ski’s usable running surface (59mm/62mm for narrow race/touring skis, wider for powder skis); most Pomoca kits include elastic tip attachments for notched tips and adjustable tail systems. Trim the tail/rear clip if needed, align the glue edge‑to‑edge for even adhesion, and tension the tip/tail so the skin lays flat to minimize creep.
• How does the Climb Pro S‑Glide compare to the Race Pro 2.0 and Free Pro 2.0?

  Climb Pro S‑Glide is the versatile, day‑tour workhorse—its S‑Glide treatment reduces icing while the 70/30 fiber balance delivers dependable grip and efficient glide in varied conditions. Race Pro 2.0 prioritizes maximum glide and minimal weight with Glide Pro surfaces and SSUL/Vertical membranes, sacrificing some wet‑snow durability for speed. Free Pro 2.0 focuses on the lightest pack weight and powder performance, using Safer Skin Light membranes and very thin backers for low drag on big skis.
