The skins are probably fine but the attachments look a little tarded. It appears they make you use the front attachment as the stretcher, which drops the 'hardware' exposed on the front lower on the running surface of the skin.

G3 and BD both have excellent attachment hardware that is foolproof and proven.

In case this helps:
ClimbingSkinsDirect.com skins are the only skins on the market using the same plush found in the purple Ascension™ skins. To date, this fabric is the only synthetic material with glide comparable to mohair. We offer the durability of nylon, but with fine, supple, plush fibers and a low exit angle for mohair-like glide. In addition we are now penetrating the backing with our proprietary process in order to further lock the plush fibers at a low exit angle.

No idea if Ascension™ = BD Ascension though..

I've not bought from them but have heard good response from other skiing websites.
