BD skins have some of the best attachment systems around. They are simple and stand the test of time. Find replacement parts or build a new skin using the tools below.

Skin Tip Loop Kit - A double metal-bracket system that attaches your skins securely to the tips of your skis. Includes all necessary hardware.

Cord Tip Loop Kit - Seemingly-race-style elastic tip loop for use on skis with notched tips. Comes with attachment hardware, but you probably also need some washers and a knot to make it work well. Weird.

Ultralite Tip Loop Kit - BD's ultralight bar and rope system that affixes to skin tips with breakable screws. Includes hardware.

Tip Cables - Replacement flexible cables for the older (2019/20) Adjustable Loop tips, without attachment hardware. Available in Mini, Standard, and Oversized lengths.

Ski Skin Tail Kit - The tail strap, tail clips, and mounting hardware used on all BD skins starting from 2020/21. Tapered cut to reduce drag.

Ski Skin Tail Straps, Pin Style - Pin style tail straps used on current preassembled BD skins.

Ski Skin Tail Straps - The tail strap and clips that are used on 2020/21 and later BD skins (no hardware). Appears to be backward compatible with the older STS tail kits.

Ski Skin Tail Clips - A pair of metal clips from the Ski Skin Tail Kit. Functionally the same as the older STS tail clips so they will work as replacements.

Splitboard Tail Kit - Everything you need to make a skin affix to the tails of a splitboard.

Splitboard Tail Straps, Pin Style - Tail straps designed to work with preassembled Black Diamond Splitboarding skins.

Speed Tip Loop Kit - Tip fix for your skins using a race loop attachment.

STS Tip Loop Kit Standard - Tip fix attachment for your skins, including screws, wire attachment, padding and plastic attachments. Screws meant to connect both attachments and break off.

STS Tip Look Kit Narrow - Tip fix attachement for your skins with a wire attachment best suited for narrower and tappered tipped skis.

Cheat Sheets - AKA skin savers, these will keep your glue fresh and your skins easy to peel apart. Stick a skin to each side of the synthetic mesh and you will prevent getting dirt on your glue and needing a ton of upper body strength to separate your skins.

Gold Label Adhesive - Folks who work out their lower body more than their upper body often think Black Diamond Gold Label skin glue is too strong. Folks who have skins that fall off easily don’t care; they want the strongest and most durable glue around. The adhesive comes in a 2.8 fluid ounce (82 mL) bottle, enough to re-glue a pair of skins.

Drawstring Skin Bag - Simple nylon bag with breathable mesh panel for moisture to escape. Enclose your skins for safekeeping. Drawstring closure.

Zippered Skin Bag - Nylon bag with a zipper closure and a breathable mesh panel for moisture to escape.

Question from Dan A
 
I finally broke the orange tails on my 10+ year-old BD skins. Looks like I probably need to replace the entire attachment (tail kit with new plates/rivets), but am I wrong and the newer black style will work in the older plates?

Question from Dillon
 
I’m curious if any short skin hardware exists (black diamond kicker skins are a favorite, useful in all widths) for 1/3rd length skins which are really perfect for all but the steepest approaches with a little technique. I have t noticed any solutions in your skin fixing parts…
12/20/2023
Answer from Gabriel I
 
Hi Dillon, I don't think we carry anything quite like that. Might be worth reaching out to Black Diamond and seeing if they have those parts, since they do make kicker skins.

Question from Frank
 
I have a pair of elan ripstick 106s that I'm trying to use with my old black diamond skins. They have a the old version of the semi adjustable tip loop, and it doesn't make it securely around the rather boxy front of the elans. Will the new version of the tip clip be more secure? Is there a different skin brand with a better tip clip for these skis? Thanks!
1/9/2023
Answer from jbo
 
Hi Frank, those tips are adjustable. You need to slide off the metal cap and make it bigger.

Answer from Frank C
 
Hey jbo, thanks, I didn’t know they could be adjusted. With that said, I opened them up and they already are maxed out!

Hi Frank, BD sold "oversized" cables for big skis. You may be able to find those somewhere, we are sold out.

I use this glue regularly to touch up my skins. I've found it superior to other manufacturer's glues. I don't waste my time with removing old glue. I have an old iron specifically for glue. I apply a little glue, let it dry overnight, then run the glue iron over it to melt and spread the glue. If you just have a lot of dirt or wax on your skin, just run the iron over it to refresh the glue. It works, try it. Don't use your wax iron for this and do it in a well ventilated place.

Question from Mike
 
Is there a BD tip loop kit that would work for a ski that's 78 mm at the shovel? So the loop should be maybe 50 mm or so? Thanks!
12/2/2022
Answer from Teddy Young
 
Hey Mike, your best bet would be a 50mm bracket and hammer rivets! Let us know what model skis you have and we can get into some more details.

Question from david taylor
 
My ascension nylon skins come with a black mesh.
Is this in place of the skin saver or is there another use?
1/1/2022
Answer from Julieana
 
Hey David,
That is the skin saver, yes. The Ascension skins come with those out of the box, as those skins are quite difficult to rip apart if you stick them to themselves.

Question from Joel
 
I'm having a lot of trouble trying to pull the 2020 (larger and more triangular) skin tail through the slot between the metal plates. The plates are riveted before pulling the tail through, as indicated in the instructions. Any advice? for this reason I don't think these are backwards compatible with the STS skin clips.
1/26/2021
Answer from Brett S
 
Joel- The new skin tails are not backward compatible with the old plates, unfortunately. The voile skin straps are narrower and may work in the old plates. You would have to change tail hooks with that tail system.
1/26/2021
Answer from Joel G
 
I ended up trimming off parts of the new skin tail so I could pill it through the plate and make it work. It is not the cleanest solution but should hold up.

Question from william m
 
So I have broke several tail straps now on different BD skins (after hard use). But now to fix them, whats the best way to remove the rivets that have been pounded in?
after that, the replacement tail straps dont come with rivets unless you get the whole kit which seems like too much extra hardware.
Any thoughts?
11/2/2020
Answer from Cole P
 
Hey William, thanks for reaching out. If you own an STS tail kit you should be able to extract the tail without removing any hardware by simply cutting the old/used tail to help remove them and then slide the unused STS tail strap into the hardware. If it's the new ski skin tail kit you will have to drill out the rivets to remove the hardware and then you can utilize the existing holes when mounting the new tail kit. Feel free to email us at help@skimo.co if you need more assistance.

Question from Logan
 
It looks like "Ski Skin Tail Kit" comes with parts for 2 skins and "Skin Tip Loop Kit" only comes with parts for a single skin.

Is this correct?

Answer from Cole P
 
Hello Logan, both the Ski Skin Tail Kit and Skin Tip Loop Kit come as a pair.

Do the "STS Tail Straps" include the metal clips as the picture shows, or is it just the strap portion? And is it 2 straps?

Sarah,

There are two straps and two metal tail clips included. Have fun out there!

Question from Alexander Tkacz
 
Do you carry just the screws which attach the tip loops to the skin or do know where I can get them?
12/1/2019
Answer from Teddy Young
 
We have not been able to source those screws by themselves, but there’s a chance you could use just a small screw that has been filed or ground down at the tip.

Question from Zak
 
Any thoughts on the ultralight tip kit vs the old std adjustable tip loops?

I broke my Pomoca skin tip attachment -- the plastic just sheared right off when I accidentally knocked my ski tips together at the end of a kick turn my second day using them. I had switched to Pomoca skins for weight/packability/glide reasons, but never had any durability issues after many days on nylon BD skins, so I was gonna refit BD tip attachments on the Pomoca skins. (Yes, I know they have different hole patterns. Fortunately, there's enough skin length to recut the tip below the holes and reinstall a tip kit.) If it matters, ski dims are 116 90 106.
12/7/2018
Answer from Nate
 
Hi Zak, for durability I would give the nod to the std adjustable loops.
