Description of G3 Alpinist elle Climbing Skins G3's goal was to create a climbing skin that meets the unique needs of female skiers. They started with their revolutionary Aplinist Climbing Skin and added the new RipStrip to make the skins easier to use in the field. The RipStrip reduces skin to skin adhesion, making the Alpinist elle quick and easy to pull apart, reducing transition time. With the lightweight, fast gldiing, easy to handle Alpinist elle Skins underfoot, women will be moving quicker adn easier, working with their skins instead of fighting with them and saving energy for the downhill. And isn't that the way it should be? Features: RipStrip for easy pull apart Tip Connector. Low profile, pivoting hands fit any ski tip securely. Elimination of fold-over reduces skin weight and eliminates snow build up under the skin, improving skin retention Fast gliding, synthetic plush for improved glide, awesome traction and dramatically lighter weight Laminated waterproofing treatment keeps skins dry and prevents clumping in wet conditions and when moving through multiple alpine climate zones Same dependable, temperature tolerant adhesive as found on Expedition Skins - easy to peel, but sticks to bases at all temperatures Non-toxic adhesive (solvents are not used) Easily trimmed to fit
