Contour Guide Mohair Skins
Mohair skins from the mohair experts. As the first company to use mohair to make climbing skins, Contour knows its way around the barn. Coupled with attachments that know their way around your ski, the trim-to-fit Guide Cut skins are hard to beat. The fast mohair glide is a given. But with a thicker plush and backing than the competition, the grip and durability are also solid. Last but not least, the glue hits the sweet spot by reliably sticking while still being manageable. Don't let bad skins drag you down-- glide up the skin track with the Contour Mohair Skins.
- 100% Mohair plush is fast yet optimized for grip.
- Simple square metal clasps securely ride on your ski tips*.
- Adjustable tail clips help prevent peeling from the tails.
- Durable backing and strong glue make for reliable climbing.
- Kits include a trimmer and carry bag.
* Please note the kits marked "Universal" come without the tips attached. Simply fold the skin over the included brackets and slide on the folding clip to hold it in place. Awesome way to make the perfect length skin.
Update 2021/22: Except for the "Universal" length, the tip buckles are now riveted on and ready to go out of the box.

If I am mounting on a reverse camber or a highly rockered ski, can I assume the full coverage mostly matters in the middle third of the ski? E.g. would a 115 work well enough on a 110 waist ski? Trying not to carry extra weight…

Hi John,
It would probably work "well enough!" You certainly don't need to cover the tip, and you don't need to really cover 100% of the tail either. That might be a little narrower than we'd generally recommend, but you're correct, on a full rocker ski your grip comes from underfoot anyways. I would say go for it, especially with a powder setup. I'd do it!

Answer this question:
These have become my go to skin, I have multiple pairs and now that I look at my skin collection, only my race skins are not these contours. As stated before almost no break in period, and they are really durable. all through early and late seasons they just keep trucking. they don't pack as well as say Pomoca pinks, but they are by no means to large. Overall, these are like a diesel truck that all the sudden drives super fast.
Comment on this review:
These are the best all-around skins for general touring. They have the best grip and glide balance out of the box in my opinion, and they don't have a "break in" period for decent glide like some other skins. The glue works but isn't too sticky, and works well in all conditions. It's probably a little more difficult to rip than Pomoca but much easier than Colltex. I would give 4.5 stars for these if I could, because the attachments aren't great. The plastic bit that hold the tip bar on is prone to breaking, and the tail clips are bulky and don't fit well on some skis.

Hey Skimo- I have skis that measure 184.5cm long (straight tape pull). I assume I want to purchase this skin in the 185cm+ version, but am totally happy to get the shorter ones if they would fit. Thanks for confirming.
5/11/2021
Hey Marshal, I would actually recommend going with the shorter size (177-184cm). Neither of the sizes unfortunately will put you in the middle of the range which would be recommended, but you still should have just enough with that shorter length. Give us a shout if you have any more questions!

Will the 210cm X 50 cm fit my 205cm X 50cm Cross country skis
1/31/2021
Hi Dean,
The 210cm x 50mm skin size will be full coverage underfoot. If you have an edged ski, those edges will be covered by skin material. Also, out of the box, it will be slightly long. However, this skin has a simple tip attachment system that can be easily removed to allow you to trim the skin to length!

Hi Michael,
That would depend on the length of ski that you ordered. Reach out to us at help@skimo.co, and we can get you dialed in on a skin!

what size skin will work best with a ski that is 153 long and 84 wide?
3/14/2020
Hey Lisa, thanks for reaching out! Do you happen to know the tail width of the ski? That's what we tend to base skin with off of, and we can find out if you let us know the brand and model of ski.

50mmx 210 work ok on 215s? Is there a useable 5cm in the tail strap? I have older 215cm Fischer e99s and want full skins. Might cover the edges a bit.... can they be trimmed? (I expect it would be difficult but if successful would they hold together)

Scott,
Unfortunately 210cm is the maximum length for these skins, this includes the length of the tail.

Are the Hybrid Universal version similar to the Guide Cut in terms of weight and pliability/foldability? I have a pair of the Guide Cut and they are really great.

Hi Aaron, the mohair mix version of the hybrid universal that we have in stock is a bit heavier and less pliable. That is often true of mohair vs mixes.

Do you know if the 130mm would fit an Atomic Bentchetler (185cm)? Pomoca site has a ski/skin match guide and recommends 140mm. I don't care about wall-to-wall coverage on the rocker ends. I'd also be interested in the hybrid glue versions, if you have any in stock, or will get some in soon.
1/13/2016
Hi Aaron, 130 is wide enough. It will give you full coverage in the tail which is the important part. Length only goes up to 184 which would be close. The Hybrid Universal kits go up to 195 which would work.
Answer this question:
My first pair of 100% Mohair skins and I really them. The POMOCA CLIMB PRO GLIDE SKINS were good, but the Contours seem thinner, lighter and grip just as well. My only gripe is, the Contour tail clip doesn't fit as snug as the Pomoca tail clip.
8/26/2016
Hi Dan, please note 2 things: The strap needs to go through the last slit in the tailclip and there is a "SLIM" version available as a replacement part to work perfectly on thin skis. See a picture here.

Do you have these in 130mm x 185-190?
11/10/2015
Hi Mitch, unfortunately not. These kits only go up to 184. We'll have some Contain mohair-mix hybrids in the near future that have a variable length and would be long enough, else I can suggest some skins off the roll.

Do these have special hybrid glue technology?

Hi afox, these have the traditional glue. The new hybrids should be arriving within a month or so.
