Designed for long approaches and big mountain objectives, the Black Diamond Glidelite Mix Fixed Length STS Skins strike the perfect balance between lightweight efficiency and all-condition traction. Built with an updated 65% mohair / 35% nylon plush, these skins offer smooth glide, dependable grip, and enhanced durability for full days on the skintrack.
Compared to BD’s classic Ascension skins, the Glidelite Mix delivers better glide, a softer hand, and more compact packability — ideal for backcountry skiers seeking high-mileage performance without compromise. A fluoro-free DWR coating increases suppleness and longevity while keeping snow and moisture at bay.
