Pomoca Race Pro Grip Skins
Pomoca’s race formula with a twist. The Race Pro Grip is designed to be the secret weapon when the skin track freezes over and everybody starts to slip, or when the slope angle increases beyond all reason. Pomoca usually reserves their famous Grip treatment for touring skins, but when it’s applied to the fastest Race Pro formula you end up with the Race Pro Grip. While it may be slightly slower than other race skins in a head-to-head drag race, slipping on a skin-track is even less efficient. On icy slopes, the Race Pro Grip will have a clear advantage as you maintain stable footing and pull ahead. Outside of the obvious use in a race course, the Race Pro Grip is a great tool to bring along for your occasional foul-weathered objective, F.K.T. attempt, or for mountaineering when you’re following a precarious skin track.
- Race Pro Grip is available exclusively in 62mm width for better grip in a straight cut race skin.
- Pairs nicely with the Pomoca Cutting Pattern.

You could, but you would have approximately 4-5mm of base/edge showing on either side at the narrowest point on the ski. It would glide quite well and grip okay, but might have some issues with grip on firm sidehills. If you are buying these to increase overall grip, then I would recommend getting something wider.
Email us at help@skimo.co if you have questions and we can work out a skin build for you! A full-coverage race plush would give you better grip and still pretty good glide.
My local resort features many seriously steep, prolonged pitches that will turn you back when the groom is frozen over. Using lesser skins, I have slipped and cut my hands on the icy tracks - it's not fun at all to say the least.
The Race Pro Grip also excels in the backcountry where it's my default skin - I don't even bother with the pure race version there because why mess around? Conditions can change quickly enough as it is.
And not sure if its just my set or what, but ripping the grips is a lot easier than the race pro, and durability is great as well.
Thanks!
Since these are race skins, they do not have a tail attachment. At 160cm, these skins will pair well with a set of 161cm race skis. Depending on your desired grip, you may want to trim 10cm off the tail in order to reduce friction on the skin track while maintaining most of the traction.
