Untitled ReviewHowever, in the newer models, the tip stretcher seems way beefier. You don't have to stretch it as far to get enough tension.
As skins go, these are good. I haven't used many others.
I should emphasize that you must match your skin to your ski! The general guideline is: skin should be 5mm from either edge, at the narrowest part of the ski. Skin too fat: obvious consequences. Skin too thin: very strange behavior when you try to turn with the skins on.
