Ski Trab Mohair Per CM

Really like the glide and glue on these skins. They rip easily, yet remain pretty sticky on subsequent laps. Only problem is that after only a few days (less than 10) of use, the glue has come off in big patches. I'm not sure if this is a widespread issue or if I got a bad batch of glue.

I have used these 15 times or so on all different snow conditions on groomed runs at the ski area. The grip is great but for a 100% mohair skin I was expecting them to glide better. Overall I don’t feel they glide any better than my bd mix glide lights. Any suggestions for a skin that may have better glide performance? Thanks !

What are the lightest skins per cm? I'm talking about just the skin material, not including any attachments, and its gotta come in a width of at least 110mm so not counting race skins here. I figure the contenders are these contour/trabs, pink pomoca, and kohla alpinist. Any others I should also be considering?

Are you expecting to get 90mm width back in stock?

These are the best skins! After I used a Contour precut skin (Ski Trab Mohair skins are made by Contour and use the same material) I have made multiple pairs out of this material and will likely never go back. The grip is just as good as, if not better than, my Pomoca Free Pros (which I am also very happy with), and once you break in the glide, whoa mama are they fast! Great glide with uncompromising grip, I cannot recommend this material enough! Even better, they are a great value for the cost, especially given the performance.

My household now has 3 pairs of these skins, all for skis ~80 underfoot. These make a great 'middle ground' race-style skin, with super good durability on firm/crusty snow compared to race skins (which I have destroyed quite a few pairs of now...). I love that they are still super fast, but grip much better on icy skintracks than pomoca pink race plush or colltex race plush. Also I'm the biggest fan of Ski Trab's glue, just minor touchups and they're good to go all day!

Can you use these skins on wax skis or scale skis to improve grip?

I am looking to make skinny skins by cutting a 120mm lengthwise. Is there a rip strip in the middle of the glue side that would make it not a good idea?
And same question for the Pomoca race 120mm.

Can I add the skin to an old pair of fisher waxable classic cross country skis to convert them to no wax? I want to upgrade my old skis to the skins for general recreational use, will this product work for that?

TL;DR The best value mohair roll for your mid width skimo needs.

I got the 90mm width for making skimo race style skins for my G3 86 Findr's that I've tip notched. I ended up with about 145cm length skin for skis are 177cm length. Used them all winter in Tahoe, Shasta, and Oregon snow (so warmer, wetter climates) for both general touring and racing. Made them with hand sewing method using nylon thread + bungee cord + plastic disk at the beginning of the 18/19 season and did not have any durability problems. They replaced some BD nylon skins that were basically straight cut for the same skis.

The glue is on the thinner side if you are use to BD or G3's glue amount, but that's what you get with lighter weight skins. As long as there is glue on the skin it did stick well though, and didn't have to baby them. Definitely worth having a tube of BD gold label at home to touch up the tip and tail sections where you touch the most putting on and ripping skins. Their reduced weight from the lighter backer and lighter glue amount from BD nylons was awesome.

Finally started to wax my skins as well and even though these are already faster than BD's older pure mohair skins, putting wax on them is great extra bit of glide for when I did race with them. Their grip was great for most everything I threw at them minus some real icy evening Shasta uphilling where ski crampons were needed. As long as you stay out of your high risers you shouldn't have a problem in most the Pacific snowpacks. I'll be in the rockies this winter and report back.

I bought these off a roll and cut them for 80mm skis for ski mountaineering. I set them up with the Colltex tip attachments (no heel attachment) and works super well. The skins are reasonably fast. Used them about 30 days now and I am happy. Good value for the price.

what is the thickness measurement of these skins, and what is the thickness of the World Cup Race Formula skins?

thanks

do these skins have an adhesive backing already on them?

What is the width of these skins?

See my review for more details on the Precut version that I have for my Magico skis. But in brief, I've previously used other 100% mohair skins from Atomic, Black Diamond, CAMP, Colltex, Dynafit, plus Trab's mohair version designed for racing. I've also used momix skins from Black Diamond, Colltex, Dynafit, and Trab.

Trab claims that this touring version of its mohair skin has better grip than its own race mohair. Hard to tell without a side-by-side comparison with identically cut skins, but the grip has seemed perfectly fine to me, on a pair with any other momix skin. And glide is of course excellent.

Trab does acknowledge that durability is compromised relative to a momix skin. I haven't noticed any wear on the plush so far, but then again I've used them only on winter snow that hasn't been very abrasive.

Skin glue is relatively light but has performed well.

So overall, Five Stars for a really cheap way to get a really high-end 100% mohair climbing skin for your winter touring ski setup.

On this page there is only an option for skin width, how long are these skins? http://skimo.co/ski-trab-mohair-skins

Thanks

Love the offerings and info here... But when I put the length in as 160cm will I get two 160cm skins? Or just one? I've read "everything is sold in pairs" but is that true for skins too? Thanks
