How to use

To use the climbing skins, ensure the ski bases are clean, dry, and free of wax before application. Attach the tip attachment securely to the front of the ski, then press the adhesive side firmly along the length of the base toward the tail, ensuring no snow or moisture is trapped underneath. Secure the tail clip properly to maintain tension. After use, remove the skins carefully and store them using skin savers or fold them glue-to-glue before placing them in a designated storage bag.

• Verify that your ski model matches K2 Wayback or Talkback 84
• Confirm that your ski length falls within the 167 to 174 cm range
• Check the condition of the adhesive glue periodically for optimal performance

Usage recommendations

For best results, store the climbing skins in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and periodically re-waterproof the mohair fibers to maintain optimal glide and prevent snow accumulation.
