Faction Precut Skins
If you find yourself the proud new owner of La Machine skis from Faction and are looking to unleash the uphill potential of those very same skis, look no further. These precut climbing skins are made to perfectly mate with your La Machine skis, sorta like peanut butter and jelly. Knowing that durability and packability are both important, Faction went with a 65-35% mohair nylon mix, creating a durable yet packable skin. Taking on the adhesion duties is Kohla's Smart Glue, and while it won't help pass your math exam, it will provide reliable adhesion down to -22 degrees Fahrenheit whilst remaining easy to handle. For those spring days when the snow gets a bit soggy, the Fiber Seal technology helps to say NO to H2O, protecting the glue and allowing you to trudge on with confidence. For proud La Machine ski owners everywhere, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better climbing skin to pair with your ski.

Both these and Pomoca's offerings will have good grip and glide! Pomoca's mohair will glide better, and their Climb 2.0 will grip better. The Free Pro and S-Glide lines use a mix similar to the Faction precut skins.
Biggest difference is that the Faction precuts use Kohla's "Smart Glue" which is less sticky than Pomoca's traditional hot melt glue. I personally love the smart glue, it hits a nice balance between a hybrid glue and a hot melt. A lot of folks prefer the stickier hot melt, though. If you keep them out of the snow and warm between laps, the Smart Glue is amazing. If you don't want to worry about skin failures, a hot melt style skin might be the way to go.
I have 2022 Faction Agent 1.0 skis. Are the La Machine precut skins compatible? If not, might you have something that is?
Thank you!
