MATCHING SKINS TO SKIS: G3 skins include Tip Loops. See the reference chart below to determine what size Tip Loop is included with your skin. Ensure that the Tip Loop included with your desired skins width will fit the tip of your ski. Consult your G3 Dealer or the G3 website for advice.
SHAPED OR STRAIGHT There are two schools of thought on the selection and fit of G3 Climbing Skins, shaped and straight.
SHAPED You can get maximum skin coverage by choosing a skin that is slightly narrower than the widest part of your ski, and trimming the skin to the sidecut / shape of your ski, as described in the skin instructions. The extra work required to trim will more than make up for itself with the superior grip of a skin with wall to wall'? coverage. Choose a skin that covers your ski base wall to wall'? (edge to edge) about 25cm (10in) back from the ski tip. For example, if the dimensions of your skis are 115-77-105, a pair of 110mm skins will do nicely.
STRAIGHT To avoid trimming, choose a skin to fit the narrowest part of your ski. This set-up is lighter, glides better and eliminates the possibility of contaminating exposed glue when storing skins. Straight skins are also easier to fold for packing and storage. For example, if the dimensions of your skis are 115-77-105, a pair of 70mm skins will do the trick. Each pair of G3 Complete and Tail Less Climbing Skins is equipped with a G3 Trim Tool and specific instructions for fitting your skis.
