More on Mohair: Long considered the plush material of choice in Europe, mohair offers superior glide with less weight and greater packability, making it well suited for long-approaches and tours. The oil in this natural fiber has inherent water-repellent capabilities and a hollow-core that provides an excellent balance of fiber weight, stiffness and glide. Using this mohair, the GlideLite skins are now 20% more supple and packable than previous years' models, while maintaining their acclaimed smooth glide. BD offers a Mohair Mix model that is 65% mohair and 35% nylon for extra durability, and a Mohair Pure model that 100% mohair for ultimate efficiency. If you are like us here in the Northwest the Mix is the best choice because of our random snow-types(Sometimes you win the lottery and well...sometimes you don't).
