Contour Hybrid Mix Skins

The Hybrid glue system from Contour solves the stickiest skin problem. That is designing a glue strong enough to adhere to the backing but not so strong that you can’t separate a skin from itself. Contour achieved this goal by using multiple layers of glue. An especially sticky formula rests against the skin which is covered in another layer of less tacky glue that keeps the interface manageable. The resulting Hybrid glue system is easy to use and reliable. It’s also easy to maintain, since you can simply wash the skin with detergent to refresh the stickiness. Attached to the fancy adhesives is a mix of fibers that also blend multiple goals: grip, glide, and durability. This is achieved with Contour’s signature mohair woven with some rugged nylon. The Hybrid Mix skins offer the benefits of newer glue formulas with the reliability of traditional fare.

• Hybrid glue technology offers good adhesion even in low temperatures.
• Glue is easy to pull apart and can be washed to refresh the tack.
• 65% mohair / 35% nylon blend is a good all-around fiber formula.
• Attached adjustable tail clips fit securely on just about any ski out there.
• A wire bail tip attachment keeps things simple and reliable.
• Two included cleaning wipes help refresh the adhesive side.
• Also includes a carry bag and a trimmer for customizing the side cut.
• Backing foil has a center strip for mess-free trimming.

* Please note the kits labeled Universal (without a length range) come without the tips attached so you can cut them to any length.

Update 2020/21: Contour changed out the tips to be sleek metal buckles that are permanently riveted on (previously they used Vario tip hardware with swappable buckles). They also changed to an offset-style cutter which doesn't require repositioning the skin between cuts like the previous letter opener.
