Pomoca Climb 2.0 Skins
The Pomoca Climb 2.0 formula focuses on savings of both the weight and cash varieties. Pomoca uses a short nap on its Safer Skin Light backing, making for an extremely lightweight and packable skin. They also shaved a few dollars off the price by skipping the S-Glide treatment, making this skin perfect for folks who like to step up the hill without sliding backward and who aren't concerned with much else. For folks concerned with glide, it depends on the grade of the climb whether the weight savings override the increase in friction. Everyone will appreciate having some bright yellow skins in their life, plus it never hurt to save a few bucks. Buy the Pomoca Climb 2.0 skins if you want to climb 2 the top of all the best backcountry runs with minimal cost and maximum grip.
- Safer Skin Light backing formula is thin yet waterproof and tear-resistant.
- Ever Dry 2.0 treatment repels water, ensuring the skin starts and finishes light.
- Click Lock tip system lets you swap the metal brackets to fit different tip shapes.
- Kits include a skin bag and amazingly easy-to-use edge trimmer.
- Simple adjustable tail clips lock into slots on a sturdy elastic strap.
Update 2020/21: The Climb 2.0 skins now have redesigned Click Lock tip attachments and tail hooks that enhance durability. The skins have the same climbing prowess and amazing glue while coming packaged in a cool new zippered case.
Update 2024/25: Pomoca is gradually phasing these skins out in favor of new tip and tail hardware on the Tour Explore skins.

Hi! I’m getting these for 154 k2mindbender ti from 2023, waist 100, one end 120 and one end 130, what size would you recommend?
11/22/2024
Hi Westmain,
145-160cm length and 120mm width! The way we recommend sizing skins for width is to match the width of the tail as close as you can.

Hello! I’m wondering what size to get for the Armada Tracer 108s in 164cm. It looks like size small, but what would be recommended for width? Thanks so much!
7/19/2024
Kim. The Small, 155-170cm is perfect. You should go with the 120mm width. Will give you full coverage at the tail ( after trimming edges), and all the way up, leaving just the tiniest bit of the widest point uncovered.

I just reserved a pair of Renoun Citadel's in 177 length. Looks like underfoot is 107. They recommend due to their "unique shape" to go with Pomoca skins. Would love a recommendation on what size to purchase for these skis if you have any advice? Will order from you once I know which ones to get. Thanks!

Hi Joe, we generally size skins by the tail width of the ski. Those skis look to be about 125mm in the tail, so the 120mm Pomoca Climb 2.0 width would be appropriate. For a 177cm ski, the 165-180cm length would be my first choice, or the 175-190cm option if you prefer a longer skin towards the tail. But the majority of your grip comes from underfoot.
Answer this question:
The Pomona Climb 2.0 are a great skin. The glide properties are solid. It packs well, and the mohair is very grippy. I've broken trail, walked on refrozen crust, slush, roads, and steep Wasatch skinners.
The durability is also quite high, Ive even done a little dry skinning with it (don't judge me, it was like 3 steps) and there have been very few signs of damage.
My only complaints would be that the glue can be weird in upper temperature ranges 35-40 ish degrees Fahrenheit. It can also be very hard to pull the skins in lower temperatures (under 30 degrees Fahrenheit). I would also say to make sure that you don't pull the skins apart by the tip attachment since it's not amazingly strong. Overall a solid choice at a more affordable price than the Glide S pro or Free.

Does Pomoca still make 110mm width skins? Would the 120m wide skins' tip attachment work for Backland 107s that have a 107mm waist, 136mm wide tip?
3/1/2024
Hi Sam,
We don't have any 110mm Pomoca skins, but the 120mm width would be rather perfect for the Backland 107. Typically you want to match the skin to the width of the tail, minus a few millimeters for the edge. With the 107, this lands us just about squarely on 120mm as an ideal skin width.

Thanks Carlos. If I'm skiing a 175cm length ski length which would be the ideal set up. Medium or Large? I'd imagine I can get more skin on the tail with the Large? This is similar to the Q below.
3/1/2024
I would go with the medium, personally, for that length of ski. With decent skinning technique, extra grip isn't necessary, but glide is priceless :)
Ultimately it just comes down to which way you want to optimize, glide or grip. More coverage = more grip. I have owned two skis in the 177-179cm length range that I've used Pomocas with, and have put the medium length on both.

Hello.
Could you tell me the skin length M & L. (from tip buckle to end of skin. excluding tail strap)
My ski length is 177cm. I've read through almost comments and understand size M(165-180cm) will be fine.
But if I feel it’s short for me, I will go with the size L(175-190cm).
It’s better to decide by comparing the lengths of the skin for me.
Thanks.

Hi Olivia,
The actual plush on the size M (165-180cm) measures 156cm from the plastic tip fix to the end of the plush. The L (175-190cm) plush measures 166cm.

Hi Ben, some of them still do. We're making an effort to remove them as we ship, though!

thanks! good to know.. ordered the DPS one's which hopefully don't have much of a chemical scent to em.

Is it true that the Pomoco skins smell like perfume? Do you get many complaints about this?
11/18/2023
Hi Robert, fun topic! Pomoca inserted a packet into their boxes to give you a fresh "mountain" scent when opening up your new skins. Well, I guess it gave some folks a headache instead. We went through all our skins and tossed those packets in the garbage lol.
11/21/2023
I am sitting here next to a set of these skins I bought today. On another site, I even read an "all caps" rant by an old man complaining about the scent, thought he was off his rocker.
It really was a thoughtful and nice idea. I think the perfume actually stained the skin travel pouch, and I am not sure I can handle this smell. Let alone inside my jacket.

Buy the skins, throw out the perfume packet. The smell will go away assuming you take the skins out in the snow where they belong. :)

I accidentally bought and cut the 140 mm Climb 2.0 skins for a pair of skis that are 122mm at their widest on the nose, and the buckle sits down too far on the ski (to the point that the plastic parts affect the glide). Should I buy the 105 Click Lock Kit to fix the issue -- or is there a larger size up? Thanks.
10/26/2023
I think the best option in this case is to buy a pair of Contour Vario Buckles! We have them in a variety of width options on our Contour Skin Parts page. You can measure the ski width in the position you'd like to have the tip buckle located, and choose that width Vario Buckle.
If you already have the Pomoca plastic tip installed, you can just click the existing buckle out and click the new Contour buckle in.

These skins have a very strong synthetic perfume smell. If you are sensitive to smells, I would avoid purchasing these as the smell transfers to other gear and does not air out, after several uses.

Hey! I have K2 Mindbender 106C Alliance skis in length 175, tail width is 124 mm. Would the 120 mm x 165-180 cm be the best choice?
Could I also use the 140 mm x 165-180 cm (and have more excess when trimming)?

Hi Claire,
The 120mm x 165-180cm would be a great fit. Although the 140mm would provide more contact throughout the nose of the ski, the increase in performance would be negligible. Thanks!

Answer this question:
Like others have said, these Pomoca skins seem to be the best around. I've tried many other brands, but come to the same conclusion. They are not overly burley, yet they aren't fragile either. They are easy to fold and put away. The glue has the right amount of adhesion. The only time my Pomoca's have left glue on the ski, was when the ski was too warm to start with - don't skin up in the house, let them cool first. If some glue does remain, coconut oil is the best I've found to remove it. I have two sets I've been using on Voile Vector BC skis - the skins have been secure even on the scaled traction base. Even though I've sized these only to the ski waist width (not the tail), I've never slipped on a traversing uptrack - saves a bit of weight, and no trimming needed!

Hi there - I have a pair of Rustler 10's (133-102-122) that are 180cm in length.
As my ski length is smack in the middle of two sizes (165-180 and 175-190), I'm hoping you can recommend which size I should go with?
Thank you!

Hi David, while 120 would be sufficient in most conditions, 140mm would be full coverage and the safer bet.

Best skins I've used, despite not really having a strong opinion on skins prior to this.
I did hate them for the first 10ish days as the glue was furiously bonded to my ski base, but when that subsided they became my little yellow buddies.
Thinner, lighter, tougher, glidier than my friends' skins -- even other mohair mix skins. I very much like the tip attachment and even through the puddles, slop, ice and pine needles they've never shown any sign of failing

I finally got my hands on a DPS Lotus 138, 192cm and it's time to skin up. I'm a big fan of Pamoca Pro skins but open the right fit. What would you recommend for the proper setup?
1/10/2022
Hello Adam, the Climb 2.0 skins would work great for those! I usually go off of tail width to determine which skin width to purchase. Looks like the 138's are 140mm at the tail which the 140mm x 185-200 would be a great option.
Answer this question:
After using these just a few times, I’m totally converted and plan to switch over my other setup to pomoca as well.
PLUSH: Works great. No issues with grip or durability yet. Seems to shed water and stay dry all day.
GLUE: The best glue I’ve used. Sticky, not gooey. Easy to pull apart. No issues with snow creep.
Cutting tool: the best in the game
Zipper case: totally useless. Will repurpose for use around the house I think. They do come with a small bag which I think will see more use.
TIP/TAIL attachments: not my favorite, but they get the job done for now. I look forward to building a set for my Fischer hannibals and recycling my old g3 tip/tail attachments. Think this will be rad

I'm thinking about putting a set of these on my Icelantic Nomad 115's, is there a different kind of clip on the back since they're twins? Or will the clip that comes with it hold on ok?
11/26/2021
Hey Keegan,
The clip it comes with will work okay, but isn't ideal. Because the glue is what holds the skin in place I wouldn't be worried if the tail clip does happen to slip in the field. Pomoca does make a Twin Tip Tail Hook but unfortunately, we are out of stock at the moment. If you'd like, you can send us an email to help@skimo.co and we can set you up to get an email notification as soon as they arrive.
