Pomoca Climb 2.0 climbing skins are the Swiss brand's all-round touring skin: a mohair and nylon plush on a light, waterproof backing, sold as a trim-to-fit kit with tip and tail hardware already attached. What it is A pair of climbing skins for ski touring. Stick them to the bases of your skis, walk uphill without sliding backwards, peel them off at the top and ski down. The Climb 2.0 kit comes ready to cut to the shape of your own skis. Who it's for Ski tourers who want one dependable pair of skins for everything: a dawn lap out of Charlotte Pass, a day on the Main Range, a hut trip across the Bogong High Plains. The plush blends mohair with nylon, so you get mohair's easy glide on the long flat approaches our backcountry is known for, and nylon's bite and durability when the skin track steepens and turns icy. It suits anyone setting up a first touring kit, and anyone replacing worn skins with something that simply works. Key details Plush: a mohair and nylon mix, balancing grip on the climb with glide on the flat. Backing: Safer Skin Light, Pomoca's thin waterproof membrane. It stops meltwater reaching the glue and keeps the skin light and easy to fold into a jacket. Water repellency: the Ever Dry treatment stops the plush soaking up water, so the skins weigh the same on the last climb as on the first. That counts in wet Australian spring snow. Tip: Click Lock brackets swap over to suit different ski tip shapes. Tail: an adjustable clip on an elastic strap keeps the skin under tension. In the kit: the pair of skins, a trimming tool, a skin bag and a zippered case. Choosing a size takes two measurements. For length, pick the size band, XS to XL, that your ski length falls inside. For width, pick a skin wider than the widest part of your ski, then trim it to the ski's shape with the cutter in the kit so the plush runs edge to edge and the steel edges stay clear. Looking after it Dry your skins at room temperature after every tour, away from the heater and out of direct sun. Fold them glue to glue or onto the skin savers, and store them in the bag somewhere cool. Keep the glue clear of pine needles, dirt and dog hair, and it will stick season after season.
