Hi
I have Hustle 10 (2024) 188s with width of 135.
Will this model for the zero g's work with this ski?
Blizzard Precut Skins
Blizzard talked Pomoca into making a specially formulated nap for their precut skins. Called Velvet, the unique mix of fibers is harvested from mostly or completely dead animals and/or plants. Hard to say for sure, but something was probably alive at some point or at least considered organic. It was probably orange whatever it was. Or maybe the fibers were dyed with something inspired by Yellow No. 6, the only orange shade approved by the FDA. We do know the glue is Pomoca’s best, and thus some of the best on the market. The membrane between the two is light, strong, and waterproof; also Pomoca’s finest. As is the simple tip and tail clips that work great with the Zero G skis. Did we mention they work with Blizzard Zero G skis? Yep, out of the box.
- Velvet is a unique Pomoca formula that is uniquely unique and orange.
- Safer Skin Light membrane is the best way to attach fur to skis in Switzerland.
- Standard Pomoca glue is reliable yet not too tacky so you can pull skins apart.
- Custom metal clips fit securely on the slightly recessed tips of Blizzard backcountry skis.
- Adjustable tail clips fit into the notches Blizzard designed for said adjustable tail clips.
- Universal skins are 125mm wide with a tail kit: you can fit any ski by attaching the tails and trimming.
- Precut versions with tails attached are available for all sizes of Zero G 85, 95, and 105 skis.
Update 2020/21: Blizzard updated the tip attachments to be custom metal clips that seat in the slight recess at the tips of newer Zero G skis; the plush is the same and the tail attachments are still the standard Pomoca rubber straps. The updated version doesn't work as well with pre-2019/20 skis that don't have the tip recess.
Update 2021/22: Blizzard has reverted the tip buckle on the Universal-length skins to a standard Pomoca tip buckle to be able to work on all ski tips. You can once again use the fast Blizzard orange skins on any ski! The precut 85/95/105 skins still use the metal clasp introduced in 2020/21.

Hi Randy, only the Universal skin on this page would fit that ski. You need to attach the tails and trim the edges.

Hey Skimoco, I am considering purchasing a pair of new Blizzard zero G 105 skis and skins. I have the Pomoca climb pro S-glide skins that I use on another pair of skis and they are awesome, however I live in Alaska and have always been extremely delicate with these skins as they don't seem very bomber when it comes to cold weather operation. I keep spare tip and tail connections in my repair kit but so far have not had to use them. In your opinion, what would be a more bomber skin setup for expeditions in Alaska, the Blizzard precut or sticking with the Pomoca climb pro? Thanks.

Hi Hank,
Both use the same glue, no difference in terms of stickiness. Both use essentially the same tail kit as well. The Blizzard tip kit is bomber, but might be harder to replace than a classic wire bail if anything. Overall I wouldn't say one is more reliable than another.

Hello, are these going to fit with Zero G 95, 185cm, 2018/2019? thanks
4/15/2024
Hi Vladimir, the older ones without the recessed tips don't work well with the custom tip bracket on today's precuts. Your best bet is the current "Universal" skin which has standard square-buckle tips.

I have a question about “Zero G 125mm, Universal - 2020/21.” Does it have the Zero G specific metal tip to fit the ski tip indentation? I’m just clarifying the “Update” section in the description. Thank you!

Hi,
Those do have the metal half-hexagon clip as pictured above! The newer ones use a standard tip bracket.

How can I clean the glue on my skins? I have a dog so naturally everything has his hair on it, including somehow my skins. I'm worried about this affecting how strong they adhere to my skis eventually. Is there a quick way to clean debris off of the glue side without going through and picking off every piece of hair or dirt with tweezers? Thanks.
3/15/2024
Hi Emma,
Unfortunately, there is no great way to clean debris off of hot-melt glue, except for picking off the bigger chunks of stuff. I will say that Pomoca glue is pretty sticky, and it won't fail from a bit of debris or pet hair. My Pomocas have a good bit of cat hair on them, and they still stick just fine. Eventually, if it gets bad enough, it will start to affect the glue, at which point you will likely be looking at re-gluing your skins, and we do sell Pomoca glue for this purpose. But this takes a while. In the meantime, do your best to keep the skins clean! It helps to store them in the included case when they're not in use.
Hybrid skin glue can be cleaned and washed, but it is also a very different type of glue that does not adhere as strongly as a traditional hot-melt (which is the appeal for many people, who dislike ripping/pulling a stronger glue).

Hi Emma,
You could also try ironing on a brown grocery bag to remove the top layer of dirty glue. That can refresh a pair without having to fully scrape and re-glue. There are videos of this online.

(used product regularly)
The skins themselves are great, good glide, good enough grip, small and lightweight. My only complaint is with the toe attachment. Its a gimmick, and that's all it is. After only a couple days of use it start to bend up, meaning that it doesn't properly seat into the tip of the ski nearly as well as it did originally. This means that its easy for it to slide sideways while putting the skin on or while climbing. In general it is less effective, and more troublesome than any other toe attachment I've used.

How would the Large size of these (171-178) fit my 171cm ski? Would the plastic tail be used at the shortest setting? Any chance you’re getting medium 85mm back in stock?
2/6/2024
Hi Sam, there is no medium, the large is designed for the 171. There is not a ton of extra tail but it's enough to grab.

Do the skins for Zero G LT 80 have the top pull?

Hi Zach, no, the precuts for all of the Zero G's have the same metal tip and Pomoca tail strap, even the ones for the LT 80 ski that has a tip notch.

I have the Blizzard pre-cut skins for the ZeroG 105. The tip clip is the metal clip shaped to fit into the grove of the ski tip. What spare tip do you recommend for a repair kit?

Will Zero G 95 precut skins size small fit a 178cm ski? I know they recommend size large for the 178cm, but I'd rather have skins a bit too short than too long.
4/14/2022
Hi Pete, the tails of the smalls won't reach a 178. You should check out the Universal size which you can customize the length of and then attach the tails.

Hi, On a sub zero degree morning this week while taking the skins off I broke both white plastic pieces that slide on to the ski tails. How to I order these?

Hi Rich,
These skins use the same tail clips as other Pomoca skins. You can find spares at our Pomoca Skin Parts listing.

Hey there, I’m wondering what the grip and glide numbers are on these? I can’t seem to find that info anywhere.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Thanks for your question, Tristan. These have a grip rating of 38 g/cm^2 and a glide rating of 171 kcal/h.

Are the current skins (2021) closer to the Climb Pro, or the Race Pro's, which it appears was at least the case in previous years?
10/21/2021
Hi Andrew, we did some deep digging on this, and the answer is sorta both! The plush is the Climb 2.0 formula but with a Race glide treatment applied. It sounds like it hasn't changed.

Hi, I'm looking to replace a pair of badly worn skins. My Zero G 85s are from 5 years ago so I guess they won't work well with the new skins. What's the closest thing that would work with my skis and doesn't need cutting? I have a G3 knife and have cut skins before but prefer precut. Thanks.
5/3/2021
Hey Deling,
Good news, while Blizzard has changed the construction of their Zero G 85s over the years, the shape has pretty much stayed the same. If you've got the indent in the tip for the tip hook to sit in, these precut skins should fit your skis perfectly. If not, you can just flex the tip buckle a little and it will still fit your ski just fine!

Sorry, I should've been more clear. My Zero G 85s *don't* have the indent at the tip. They are 2015/2016 model. I was wondering if there is another precut skin that'd work for my skis without trimming. If not, I'll get a universal kit. Thanks!

Do you know the weight (in g/m^2) of these skins? Trying to decide between these and the pomoca free pro 2.0 skins. Could you compare the two for materials, grip, glide, and/or weight?
2/23/2021
Thanks for your question, Chris. The Blizzard precut skins weigh in at 1150 g/m^2 while the Free Pro 2.0 weighs in at 1050 g/m^2. The glide of the Blizzard skin will be better, however, the Free Pro 2.0 will be slightly more grippy. The Free Pro 2.0 plush will also be a bit less durable than the Precut skin. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Hello. How might these compare to the blue dynafit pre-cut skins (also made by pomoca). I really lover those, but want to make sure I am getting a similar product.
2/16/2021
Hi Chris, it's the same glue and similar material...hairs are a bit shorter. Obviously tips and tails are different. They are good skins.

Hi there - will these fit 2019 Zero G 95's? Thanks! :)
1/23/2021
Hi James, if by 2019 you mean 2019/20, then yes! We sometimes see other stores describing 2018/19 items as 2019 to make them sound more fresh...those wouldn't work.
1/23/2021
Wonder if you can you tell me what year these are? :)
1/23/2021
Hi James, the tips on those do not have the depression to fit the new skins, so they are 2018/19 or earlier.

Hey Peter, the 105mm pre-cut skins that we carry will work for the current Blizzard Zero G skis. These pre-cut skins are a special formula combining the touring and race skins from Pomoca.

I need to lengthen the tail strap on my Promoca Blizzard skins and can't for the life of me figure out how to release the white plastic clamp to allow me to get a little more length. Probably amazingly simple but at the rate I’m going I’ll probably break it. Any advice? Thanks.
11/30/2020
Hey Paul, thanks for reaching out! It is certainly quite snug, but I've found that trying to push the rubber strap through the plastic clip tends to work better than pulling it through. Let me know if that works for you!
