High Traction Splitboard Skins

The Backcountry High Traction Splitboard Skins offers roughly 10 to 20% more traction than G3's standard Alpinist splitboard skins. Inspired our signature Goat logo, these high-traction skins serve up the billy goat-like grip desired for alpine ascents on two halves of a snowboard. This extra traction allows you to climb up steeper, more direct routes, even on hardpack snow. That way you're spending less time skinning and more time slashing powder, which is something we can all agree with. G3 added in a self-aligning tip attachment that's low-profile, so it's not catching on hardpack surfaces and loose snow, as well as a twin-tip tail attachment for an ultra-secure, stay-put fit. Plus, the solvent-free adhesive—which G3 claims is the toughest on the market— won't pollute the snow or mess up your freshly waxed base.
