What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I ran the Glidelite Splitboard Skins on a long ridge traverse outside Aspen, and the Gold Label adhesive held tight through wet snow and cold transitions all day. The STS tail adjusted easily when I swapped boards, and glide on the flats meant I wasn't working nearly as hard on the connector trails."The approach stretches out long and flat before the real climbing starts, and the Glidelite Splitboard Skins from Black Diamond are built exactly for that stretch. Glide efficiently across rolling terrain, then settle into a steady climb as the pitch steepens, all without swapping gear or losing momentum. This is a skin made for the miles between the trailhead and the good stuff. That balance comes from real engineering. The Gold Label adhesive bonds tight to your board through lap after lap, even when conditions turn wet or cold, while the redesigned STS tail hardware adjusts up to 20cm and stays field replaceable if something wears out mid season. A plush mohair mix construction with Fluro free DWR coating adds suppleness and durability without adding weight, so the skins keep performing deep into the backcountry.
