Dynafit

Speedskin Blacklight 74 Climbing Skin

Nylon ski skins are made from synthetic fibers, offering durability and excellent grip for climbing and descending on snow. Mohair, derived from Angora goat hair, is softer and provides superior glide, making it easier to move over snow. Many ski skins combine both materials to balance grip and glide for optimal performance in backcountry skiing.

The Dynafit Blacklight 74 skis are designed for backcountry skiing, particularly for those who prioritize lightweight performance and maneuverability. If you enjoy exploring unmarked terrains and need a ski that excels in both climbing and descending, these skis are an excellent choice. Consider your skiing style and the type of terrain you plan to tackle when making your decision.

Skin savers are protective accessories that help prevent ski skins from sticking together when stored. While they are not included with some ski skins, using them is highly recommended to maintain the integrity of your skins and prolong their lifespan. If you plan to store your skins for an extended period, investing in skin savers is a smart choice.

Not all ski skins are compatible with every ski model. It’s essential to choose skins that are specifically designed for your skis, like the Dynafit Blacklight 74. Ensure that the width and attachment system of the skins match your skis for optimal performance and safety while skiing.

When selecting ski skins, consider factors such as material (nylon vs. mohair), width compatibility with your skis, and the type of terrain you’ll be skiing. Additionally, look for skins that offer a good balance of grip for climbing and glide for descending, as well as features like easy attachment systems and durability for rugged conditions.

To care for your ski skins, always store them flat and avoid folding them to prevent damage. Clean them after each use to remove dirt and snow, and allow them to dry completely before storage. If you’re using them frequently, consider applying a skin wax to maintain their glide properties and protect the adhesive.
