Pomoca Climb Pro S-Glide Skins
We’re not sure but we think the “S” stands for “Super”. The new Pomoca Super treatment on the old reliable Climb Pro Glide skins makes them even better at sliding. The friction coefficient is now more akin to racing formulas than to similar mohair-mix skins. Good sliding technique will be rewarded with up to 20% energy savings on an average climb, a figure extrapolated from recent lab tests. The Climb Pro S-Glides are 70% mohair, 30% nylon, and 100% fast. The skins feature the manageable Pomoca glue formula and easy-to-use tip brackets and tail clips. These are likely the default skin choice for interested ski tourers.
- Safer Skin Light membrane is waterproof, tear-resistant, and tends to hold its hairs in place.
- Ever Dry 2.0 is a water-shedding treatment that prevents potentially heavy water soakage.
- S-Glide concoction is applied at the end to give you a lifelong friction-reducing stride.
- ClickLock is a tip system that allows you to swap square brackets to match your ski tips.
- Adjustable tail clips ride up and down a thick stretchy strap that is notched for a good hold.
- Kits come with a trimmer that is much easier to use than the letter-opener style skin trimmers.
- Includes a skin bag for carrying your climbers and for long-term storage across seasons.
- Skins come with tips attached (except Universal length), otherwise known as "Back Fix" in Pomoca-speak.
- Universal Kits - 185cm of material with tails attached; cut to ski length and attach the 85mm or 95mm wide tip buckles (both included) before trimming.
- No Tips - A Universal Kit without the tip hardware...attach race bungees or your favorite touring tips.
Update 2020/21: The S-Glide skins are now made with thinner backing material and they have redesigned Click Lock tip attachments and tail hooks that enhance durability. The skins are about 40g lighter out of the box with the same grip and amazing glide. They now come in a zippered hard case.

As a guide and avalanche educator the last thing I need to be thinking about in the backcountry is my equipment. There are enough variables in a day of backcountry skiing as it is. These skins have made my job easier and safer. Out of the box these are the best uphill skins I've owned. I am used to having to adjust my skinning technique to new skins, but that wasn't an issue with these. The glue is also far superior to previous skins I've owned. Set-up was low stress (best skin cutter ever!). I highly recommend the Pro-S Glide to anyone from those just getting into backcountry skiing all the way to crusty professionals. These do the job.

Question from
Jed Porter 
Maybe a weird question... Has anyone noticed their version of these skins (or any skins for that matter) having a propensity to glide to one side? I've got a pair and multiple users now have noted that they pull to the left as you glide forward or slide down hill. Maybe a slight QC issue and the "nap" and longitudinal cut aren't parallel?
1/22/2020
Hey Jed, we haven't seen this problem with the Climb Pro S-Glides, but it's not an unknown issue with skins to have that kind of sideways "kick" due to misaligned skin plush. Skin manufacturers are often able to offer a warranty in these cases.

Need skins for 188 Voile Hyper V6's. Thinking Pomoca Climb Pro S Glide in 120 would best for me but looking for recommendations. Concerned 100mm is a bit narrow for some of the steeper tracks I too often find myself in. Any thoughts you can share?

Hey Patrick, I'd agree that the 120mm width would be a great choice!

My length of my skis are right at the borderline between small and medium. They are 167cm long, 135/100/120. Would the small in the 120mm be okay? What is your suggestion?
12/16/2019
Hey Amy, you should be all set with the size small (they adjust up to 170cm skis).

Hey guys. I have a pair of V8s that I use to ski big days and was looking at upgrading to either Pomoca Climb Pro S-Glide or Voile Hyper Glide Skins. I have the Pomocas on a pair of Objectives and really like them. I was curious about how they both compare. Thanks!
12/13/2019
Ryan, the Voile skin is the Pro S Glide skin but in a slower Green color and Voiles special tip.
You may want to check out Pomoca's new skin for Big skis. The Free Pro is lighter and more compact which saves a lot for big skis.

Daniel, the 140mm x 185-200cm is it. Minus 4 mm for your edges, that is full coverage at the tip.

Hey Kirk!! We should have our new stock sometime in September. I'd recommend a 120mm width, and we have just got a few more of the Tipon version as well as some Climb 2.0 and Mohair.

After a 7 day traverse in the Canadian Rockies and a 6 day loop tour in the Sierra with everything from ice to rain soaked crud to corn to powder I can't say enough about these skins. They had great grip and glide and dried quickly when they did soak through the plush; the waterproof backing keeps the glue from wetting out and releasing from the ski base. Compared to the BD Ultralites I had been using these win hands down. They don't tear and they don't wet out the glue either through the plush or under the tip piece. They are, however, about 45 grams per ski heavier than the BDs for my 177 CM Salomon MTN Explore 95 skis. My one quibble with the skins relates to cutting them to size. The skins are very supple and when I was using the supplied trimming tool the skins would roll slightly. I had to hold the skin on the base of the ski and often had to recut sections of the skins.

I just bought the Volkl 100Eight in a 173 length. The tip width is 141mm so I assume the best fitting skins for me would be the 140mm x 185-200cm and trim down the length? Or would you recommend the 140mm x 155-170cm size?
Thanks.
Thanks.
5/2/2019
Kathy, The ideal size for your ski would be the 120mm x 165-180cm, which is out of stock for the season.
You do not need to go full coverage at the tip. The tail of that ski 124mm, subtract 2mm for each edge leaves you 120mm, a perfect fit. You do have to be in the length range, since the tips and tails are attached. We have the materials to make a set or some alternate skins, please contact us at help@skimo.co for assistance.
