Black Diamond Ascension Nylon STS Skins

The BD Ascension Skins are tried and true, a total workhorse in the backcountry. They’re made of durable nylon fibers that provide reliable traction on the uphill and BD’s “Gold Label” glue, which adjusts well to a variety of temperatures and seems to somehow always be sticky, but not too sticky. Also, Black Diamond’s adjustable tip loop can fit almost any ski and the STS tail clip provides a bomber connection to keep your skins right where you need them. Overall, the Ascension Skins are reliable, tough and a great value as they’ll last for several seasons of backcountry touring.
