Kohla Mohair Per CM

Hey Josh, thanks for reaching out! We are running low on the Kohla Mohair plush but may not get a re-stock until next fall. Your best bet for now might be the 120mm Ski Trab mohair roll.

Hey Brian, no strip down the middle on this roll, but you should be able to cut the skin in half with a pair of sharp scissors and some attentive measuring! We wish you luck with whatever franken-skin endeavor you are aiming to do :-)

Hi Brian, the glue is more tacky, especially out of the box. It moderates over time. It's similar in the other qualities you mention, maybe just a tad thicker/heavier with slightly longer hairs. Great glide, slightly more durable than the race formula.

Hey Will! I'm definitely not the authority to contact with questions about scaled skis so I'll do my best with input. I can definitely see glue getting stuck in the scales of skis, but only as long as the glue isn't working as well as it should. Ideally you should peel a skin off of your ski and nothing should be left on the base, even in the scales. If the conditions aren't working in your favor (warm, humid day with old skins on some bone dry bases with no wax on them) then chances are pretty good you'll get glue in the scales, but also all over the rest of the base. I'd say as long as you take care of the skins (keep them clean, make sure the glue is in top working order, store them appropriately, etc) and your skis are waxed appropriately then you could definitely minimize the issues with glue actually sticking to the base material. If it does end up sticking and you have a thick coat of wax on the ski, the glue's sticking to the wax, not the base material so you can carefully scrape it all off and try again!

Hey Mike! Nice skis! Yup, unfortunately 120mm is the widest I have in these skins. I have a wider skin here but 125mm is the widest that we have from them. Off the roll, these skins are as long as you want (until we run out)! Not sure exactly what you mean by "stiff for climbing" but the glide is pretty impressive and the grip is even more impressive! Let me know if you have any further questions!

Trace, Thank You for replying!
So I was wrong with dimensions of my skis, So my ski are 140mm wide, the skins that are attached to the ski are 75mm x 500 mm. I was struggling skinning up hills with not much grip, while on the flat I was was fine. Would a 128mm x 500mm really improve ascending pack xc trails? What is the link to the 128mm skins. Do you have about 1000mm of that type?

Which skins would work better? Black Diamond glidelite, Black Diamond nylon, or the Kohla skins?
Will the sticky glue on the skins attach over my skis?

Hey Mike! Oh nice, actually that 140mm width helps a lot in this case and the 125mm would do much better than the 75mm width skins.

Keep in mind that I'm assuming a lot here, but based on my experience and weighing that against what I'm seeing in that picture is that the reason you're slipping while climbing anything steep is because of the lack of skin width. If your knee and ankle aren't totally vertical over the ski (to be fair it's not really user error as that's a pretty tough feat to accomplish) and weighting the majority of that skin patch down against the snow, your weight is pressing into the edges which lifts the skin material off the snow and reduces the usable contact patch pretty quickly, hence the slippage. If your knee and ankle aren't perfectly vertical over the skin material then you're basically just edging straight down the fall line which as you've found isn't a super grippy way to go uphill.

I think that some full width skins would help a lot, but length also helps a ton. Getting a full coverage skin that runs the entire length of the ski but more importantly the entire width of the ski would be a lifesaver. It sounds like the pre-installed skins are great for flats, so you could just throw the new skins on for steep climbs. For that 140mm width though I don't have any material off the roll, though I do have some kits available in that width.

Nylon is cool, but a bit overkill unless you're planning on an Antarctic adventure or something in REALLY frigid temps. The Glidelite is my favorite in this case, especially because we actually have the kits available and ready to go. Find the STS Kit 140mm here. The kits have a stripe of tape running down the center of the glue to counteract the insanely sticky glue but in this case that stripe will probably work more in favor of preserving your existing skin material than anything.

Thank for the advice. My skis are 120 cm long, i dont want to purchase a kit and then have to cut them to fit. So from your spools what are the widest skins. And how much are they?

Hey Mike. Widest I have is the BD Glidelite Mix and Ascension at 125mm wide.

Hi Jordan, pricing is per centimeter and is just the material. You also need tips and optionally tails. 135 may be sufficient to cover your snowboard, but you'd have to measure the width of your board to be sure.

Hi Jeff, you got it!

Hi Tim, you can attach any tips and optionally tails to this material. We usually select based on your ski, many of which have unique attachment systems.
