Freeski skin care - so that your climbing skins last longer

Regular skin care is the secret to reliable grip and smooth gliding on every ascent. At XSPO, you will find everything your climbing skins need to remain functional and durable even after many tours - from specialized cleaning agents and waterproofing to spare parts for emergencies.

Purpose and areas of application

Skin care for freeski skins is essential for every tour into the backcountry.

  • Steep tours: Clean climbing skins ensure optimum grip in steep terrain and changing snow conditions.
  • Lange expeditions: Spare adhesive and tension straps in the backpack ensure mobility when adhesive surfaces age or end hooks break.
  • Quick intermediate cleaning: AntiStollSpray prevents ice formation and snow accumulation, so your skins are easy to handle at all times.

How to find the right coat care set

  1. Determine cleaning requirements
    After every tour, check whether dirt or Age impregnation has accumulated on the climbing skins. Cleaning agents ensure clean fibers and optimum adhesive performance.
  2. Select impregnation
    Choose a product with high water repellency and UV protection to prevent moisture and material ageing. Spray on after cleaning and leave to dry.
  3. Supplement AntiStollSpray
    An AntiStollSpray is recommended for changing conditions. It prevents ice formation and keeps the tread free of snow build-up.
  4. Put together emergency spare parts
    Pack replacement adhesive, tensioning strap and end hooks in the touring set. So you can repair your climbing skins quickly and stay mobile even in the event of material problems.
  5. Set maintenance intervals
    Schedule a thorough cleaning and impregnation after 5-10 tours. This will prevent a loss of performance and extend the service life of your climbing skins.

With this timetable, you can keep track of everything at all times and ensure that your freeski climbing skins remain ready for use.

Thanks to individual advice, tested quality and family-run passion, at XSPO you will find exactly the right skinning accessories to make your tours safer and more relaxed.
