Glue Fails Pematurely
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Weight:
- null
The weight savings are not worth the frustration. These skins have failed me in the backcountry numerous times due to the glue just not sticking. They worked perfectly for about a dozen trips, beyond that these are going in the trash.
