The skins seem very light weight (more so than Pomocas? No gram scale here- kinda subjective) and glide great right out of the box. They climb like champs as well. On the other hand, I suspect the glue is not quite as good as Coletex and Pomoca (not to mention BD Gold). I began to see some balling of the glue after a few days of use while the aforementioned brands dont seem to show this for some time. Also, the tip bungee system is not that great. The bungee material is very thin and so they easily max out in stretch while applying them making it hard to pull the pull tab and remove them. Luckily, the mounting is cleverly designed to make the bungees easily replaceable with a thicker bungee material. That upgrade and probably new BD Gold glue should make these some awesome skins. Im not yet sure about long term durability since the snow is just too good to test that. I'll suffer through and report back with extended use but my initial feelings are that they will be ball park with Pomoca.
