The Glidelite Mix Fixed Length STS Climbing Skins 110mm by Black Diamond are highly regarded for their quality and performance, offering a balance of grip and glide. The progressive plush construction enhances suppleness and durability, while the STS Tail hardware allows for adjustable length and is field replaceable. The BD Gold Label Adhesive ensures a strong bond between the skin and ski, even in harsh conditions.

"This skin was incredibly easy to cut to the size of my skis and feels secure when attached. I did find that the glue on the skins would have great difficulty reattaching to the ski when cold, which is to be expected, but this was far greater than the skins I have owned in the past. All around, I would happily buy these again and recommend them to anyone asking for advice!"
"I love the BD Skins. They stay sticky a long time and handle moisture pretty well. This is my fourth set and still loving them. From big mountain Alaska objectives to Colorado Backyard days they are my go to."
"Skins fit with minimal trimming, my son was out in the backcountry the next day and was very happy with how they performed!"
"These are my firs pair of skins. I found the trimming process easy after purchased the Black Diamond skin cutter. . . I ski in the east coast and have been out on these two days and am enjoying how easy they are to use and how efficient I feel moving up the mountain"
"They look good and they work as advertised. I look forward to giving them more use."
"Not the lightest but glue is strong and price for a skin is excellent."
"Haven’t used these skins yet but they were easy to fit to my skis."
"I could do w/o the side clip. Can frequently pop off in brushy areas and I honestly never put it back on and its fine. Good mix of grip and weight."
"They are just perfect"
"These fit perfect with my helio carbons!"
