Smartglue Skin 84-85
Grip and durability over outright glide, for skiers who want skins that last more than a season or two.
Hassle-Free Smartglue Climbing Skins.
Smartglue is a state-of-the-art adhesive built for easy handling and clean, effortless detachment at transitions, so the skin comes off the base without a fight at the top of the climb. Fiberseal technology makes it fully water-repellent, which keeps performance consistent in wet and variable conditions.
The 65% mohair and 35% nylon blend is the trade worth understanding. Against pure mohair it gives up a little glide, and in return you get significantly higher abrasion resistance and a skin that holds its grip through more seasons of rocky skin tracks and spring corn.
These come precut, so there's no trimming and no guesswork. If glide on long rolling ascents is what you care about most, the Hybrid Skin 84-85 is the pure mohair option.

Care & Maintenance
Smartglue tackiness is only affected by dirt and surface contaminants, and it comes back with a wash in standard detergent and water. There's no need to replace a skin that has simply got grubby.
After significant use, restore water resistance, anti-icing, and glide with Dry Climb Skin Treatment. For quick field use, skin wax stops skins icing up or collecting wet snow.
