The glue pulls off, not permanent like on those skis.
lots of ways to remove ptex, but it is tedious, especially if you are trying to make a clean job.
Glue is bomber and damn - they pack so small and light. Even with a ton of time on really wet skin tracks the skins didn't get very wet and dried super fast given how lightweight they are.
If there was to be a downside it would be that given their light packability, they wear in a little bit on the edges if you're crushing icy, sidehill skin tracks.
As per usual, the Pomoca tip and tail clips are also bomber and user friendly - I continue to use.
If you are interested in custom building your own skins, there are endless options. However, I will give you two. If you would like a tip rip skin with full coverage and a tail attachment, I would go with the Pomoca Top Fix Race Tips, and the Tailhook Set that can be found under our Contour Skin Parts listing. For skin length, I would order 163cm x2 (326cm).
If you would like a more skimo oriented skin, I would ditch the tail attachment, use the Pomoca Top Fix Race tips, and end the skin about 10-15cm short of the tail. For skin length, I would again start with 163cm x2 (326cm) just to give you some fibbing room. You can always remove skin, but you can never add more...

Thinking cutting out the center of the gliding surface and add this if possible to glue
Out of the box, the glue on this skin material will not hold up to the rigors of permanent attachment. However, if you strip the original glue down to the backing, you may be able to arrange a DIY solution using a different adhesive.

I experimented with putting skin ahead and behind the boot, vs underfoot hoping for improved glide, but did not think it helped, but did give up some traction for uphill when you press down more on the ski. The Race Pro 2.0 has worn underfoot more than ahead of the boot area , will be trying some Free pro soon. but it is actually doable to just cut and replace the worn area with a new piece. I used arrow shaped ends . I urge you to make a template to make cutting the base and the replacement skin. The most tedious part of this project was removing the Ptex. I tried a lot of things but final best technique seemed to be gradual scoring the base with an exacto type blade to reach the fiberglass layer, then gentle hammer and chisel to lift the ptex. may need further scraping or sanding to get of any remaining ptex.
This season I've been regularly using 3 pairs of pomoca free pro 2.0 skins, and for me, they are some of the best all around climbing skins I have used. In the past I have used a lot of G3, Black Diamond, Contour, and Colltex skins in a variety of nylon/mix/pure mohair.
The highlights of these skins compared to the rest:
1. Lightweight backing (by far the lightest skins I have used)
2. Durable - 40 days of use and so far no issues with the glue, plush, or backing.
3. Goldilocks glue - it's "just right". No gooey/gloopy like other glues, but more tacky/sticky than the alternative tech that contour uses. Glue to glue pulls apart easily, sticks to the ski well, and seem to hold up over time.
4. Glide - Excellent. As good as my mohair colltex skins.
5. Grip - Pretty darn good. All you need for sane skin tracks.
6. Water repellant - These skins do not soak up water like others, so they stay lighter and are less prone to icing.
I'm about to put in an order for a couple of skis worth, but thought I would check-in RE tip and tail attachments.
I've got a few sets of the G3 tips (the twin metal 'hooks') that I think are the ducks nuts for secure tip attachment. Have you guys got any experience with sewing them into the skins? Or, is there a right/wrong glue to use?
Cheers,
Tom
