Fast, user-friendly, easily customizable, with built-in race bungees? Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Pre-cut to match Atomic’s Backland 78, 85, and 95 skis, these 100% mohair skins are the quickest way to ride your fancy new skis. The skins are pre-trimmed to accommodate the Backland sidecut and expose just enough edge to use as an edge. If you plan on using the included tail-hooks, Atomic has included a handy paper template that eliminates the guess-work when cutting to the proper length. The new Hybrid glue makes ripping skins at the top a breeze and can be cleaned with water. This helps keep the skins sticking throughout the life of your skis. With a touch of creativity, these skins have the potential to work on any ski with a tip notch that is similar or smaller in dimension. The Atomic Hybrid skins will get you to the top so you can get back down to where you started.
Full mohair is the only way to rock and will get you to the top faster than ever.
Hybrid glue is easy to manage and can be washed with water.
One-length-fits-all kits adapt to any length ski.

Question from

Hi- I'm a little confused by the atomic skins. I see that you carry the hybrid glue 100% mohair skins. If I read the website correctly, atomic also makes a 70/30 skin with conventional glue for the backland 95 ski ( that is precut to fit). Have I got this straight and do you carry them? Thanks
Hi Al, only the Hybrid skins are available in the U.S. as it's the more popular formula. It's also the only one that uses the tip-notch attachment system.
Hi - I'm confused about the hybrid designation - does it only apply to the glue? If so, I don't really understand about being washed with water. I want my skins to stick, and am not concerned about how clean they are, as I don't really have that much trouble picking up stuff on the skin side, and am careful about keeping the glue side clean. I have had to renew the glue on various pairs of skins over the years, which is no big deal. Is glue renew available for these? Thanks
Hi Steve, the Hybrid designation does refer to the type of adhesive on the skin. The ability to clean it refreshes the glue and eliminates the need to re-glue.
Hi Steve, I believe I answered your question above, but yes on both accounts. It is the glue designation and washing it negates the need to reapply the glue.
For Atomic Backland UL 85 skis 169 cm long you have to cut the skins to shorten them, correct? If so, how do you re-attach the tail-hooks to the skin after cutting? Thanks!
I have skins which came originally with Atomic Backland 85 skis. Midway thru their 2nd season the glue is losing its grip. Can the glue be reapplied? And if so, what product do you suggest? Tks!
Hey David! The skin/glue formula is made by Contour and unfortunately all of their glue renew kits and whatnot are for the non-hybrid glue formulas that weren't used in this skin formula. They can be washed though, are the skins just dirty and that's causing them to not stick? If so, find the wash stuff here.
any idea what is the difference to the previous year's model (https://skimo.co/atomic-backland-ul-skins) ? Just the glide zone in the tip got ditched or is there something else (material, thickness, etc.) ?
Hi Petr, vs the prior model, the biggest changes are that the glide zone in the tip is gone, and the glue is a new formulation of the Hybrid glue said to be more durable and reliable.
Hi, I have a question regarding these 17/18 skins for my UL 78 skis. On the picture the skins have a race type tip notch that that is perfect for me, but on the atomic web site the 85mm and 78mm skins seem to have tip buckles and an adjustable tail attachment, which I do not want. Can you clarify? Thanks Benoit

Hi Benoit,
These have tip notches and come with an optional tail hook. Not sure what is up with the photos on Atomic's site.
Hi Jeff, thanks for pointing out the discrepancy. I've updated our price to match. Please note the skins do not have a rocker section this season (17/18) as show on that site. We do have a few of that style left here.
