Hey there! I don't know whether this is normal for these skins, but the glue on mine is so strong, I am simply not able to do transitions without having to take my skis completely off every time... And even then I find it extremely hard to rip them apart again once I have stored them, because the glue holds up so insanely. Is there something I am missing here? Do I have to do some kind of treatment with my skins in order to make them easier in the transitions? Thanks a lot and Greetings from Austria!

How would you then compare the downhill perfomance of the Black with the Alien 1.1 and the 3.0? I think I am simply looking for shoes that are a little bit better in the downhill than my Alien 3.0 and also a little bit warmer, so that I can use them for longer ski traverses as well. That's why I am trying to decide between the 1.1, the Mountain and the Black. The Black seems like the perfect match, but I am just not sure about the downhill benefit over the 3.0...

Thank you for the quick response!! So would you then agree that the PG Black would be similiar to the Alien 1.1? Just that it's much less in weight? Are downhill performance and warmth comparable? Also, when you recommend me to go with the Mountain one - what would you say would be the major benefit over the Black one? I am little bit sceptical because I am afraid the Mountain could actually be a bit too warm for me or simply way too downhill-heavy for my everyday normal use...
