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.
Update 2024/25: Pomoca is phasing these out in favor of new tip and tail hardware on the renamed Tour Pro skins.

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.

Could you please recommend a skin length for the 188 V6 hyper? Thanks!

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.

I have a Line Sick Day 104 skis x 186 cm, 137-104-121. Will 140mm x 175-190cm Pomoca Pro S-Glide Skins work? Or should I go with the 185-200 Cm length?
Thanks

Mark, The 175-190 will be best. You would have a long floppy tail with the XL skin.

I just purchased a pair of Foon Typhoon skis. Dimensions are 145 - 112 - 128 | 186cm. I would like to purchase the Pomoca Climb Pro S-Glide Skins. My preference is for maximum coverage. What length and width of skins do you recommend?
Thanks!

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.

(downright abused product)
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.

I am considering the Pomoca Pro S Glide skins for a new pair of Atomic Backland Tour 107 skis in the 175 length that I will be taking on a touring trip to Canada next Winter. What size skin should I order? Do these skins come with the tip and tail fittings attached? Also, can these skins be folded up (at least in the short term) glue to glue or do you have to use a protective sheet over the glue side?
Thanks!
Thanks!
4/20/2019
Kirk, the ideal size for your ski would be the 120mm x 165-180cm, which we are currently out of. The 175-190 would work OK too. The tips and tails are attached and they come with a tool to trim the sidecut. Yes you can fold them glue to glue.
Answer this question:
Pretty much the ideal skin for any sort of skiing in wettish, gloppy conditions where other skins might wet out. I have been using a pair the past few months on Movement Alptracks 84 and Session 89 skis for all sorts of low snow and thaw conditions and have yet to fully wet out the S-Glides the way a typical skin would after several hours of above-freezing, isothermic trail-breaking. That said -- not sure if the S-Glides actually have a better "glide" than Pomoca Climb skins ( the yellow ones) , and they definitely take longer to break in, so I'm docking a point for that alone. Had to down-skin the S-Glides several thousand feet before they started feeling OK on low-angle skinners. I've also been throwing plenty of wax on these (both cold and warm) and haven't found that they take wax as easily as the Climb or the green Mohair, probably due to the chemical treatment. All the same, I will definitely be using these for any and all spring trips this year since they keep me from bringing a 2nd pair of skins as backup.

I want to buy POMOCA CLIMB PRO S-GLIDE SKINS for my Rossignol S7 skis that I use for backcountry skiing. They are 178cm and 140/110/118. I don't understand how to select a skin size. For example one size is 100mm x 155 - 170cm. I assume that 100mm is the width of the skin and 170cm is the length of the ski. What is the 155 value for? What size would you recommend for my skis?
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!

JF, Here to help. The 175-190cm is for the length. The pre cut skins have a tail attachment that adjusts for that range. So your 178 cm ski g\falls in that range. For the width of your ski I would recommend that 120mm width. It will cover nearly all of your ski base except for a little of the widest point of ski which won't matter for grip.
