Skins for Touring skis

What are Touring ski skins for?

Touring ski skins allow you to climb without sliding in the opposite direction: they grip the snow when leaning and glide in the direction of travel.

Made from mohair or a mohair/nylon mix, they guarantee a perfect balance between grip on the way up and glide on the flat.

What's the difference between mohair and synthetic skins?

• The 100% mohair skins offer exceptional glide and are ideal for long climbs or sporty outings.
• Mixed mohair/nylon skins (like those in the UBAC range) offer greater resistance and durability, perfect for regular use in all conditions.
  
  The choice depends on your riding style: pure performance or all-purpose ruggedness.

How to choose skins for Touring skis?

Always choose your touring skins according to the model and width of your skis.

 ZAG UBAC skins (89, 95, 102, 108) are pre-cut to fit each pair perfectly, guaranteeing optimal fit without additional cutting.

Precise fitting maximizes efficiency and prevents snow infiltration.

How do I care for my touring skins?

After each outing, dry your skins at room temperature, away from a direct source of heat.

Remove any impurities and store them with their protective netting to preserve the glue. Regular maintenance prolongs the life of your skins and preserves their grip, even after several seasons.

What should I do if my skins no longer adhere well?

If the glue loses its effectiveness, it can be re-glued with special glue strips, or serviced by a specialist workshop.

Always avoid placing skins on wet snow before gluing: this greatly reduces adhesion.

Are ZAG skins compatible with other skis?

ZAG UBAC skins are primarily designed to fit skis in the same range, but may also be suitable for other models of similar width.

For optimum compatibility, always check the runner width of your skis before purchase.

Why choose Touring ZAG ski skins?

Because they're developed in Chamonix, tested in the real conditions of the Mont-Blanc massif.

ZAG UBAC skins combine grip, glide and durability to accompany every ascent with confidence. That's the ZAG spirit: freedom, fluidity and reliability for mountain performance.
