Black Diamond Ascension Nylon Clipfix Skins

 Brand : Black Diamond
Item : BLD0786
For years, the Black Diamond Ascension Nylon ClipFix Skins have been the yardstick by which all other skins are measured. Now they have a reversible double-bar tip loop system so they will fit on an even wider variety of tips. The tried-and-true ClipFix tail attachment remains the fastest and most secure available. BD Ascension also gave their skins a glue-free strip down the center to make removing them at the top of a couloir much easier, so you can stop messing with gear and start skiing.

Black Diamond Ascension Nylon Clipfix Skins



Clip fix worked well
The clip fix system worked well when cut properly. I was recently touring with three others who had the clip fix. Two of them cut the length too long and the clips kept coming undone. Two of us cut them a hair short and they never came off for either of us. Bottom-line, cut them right and they work great. I also skied with another person who had Xscreams. The skins won't work well with a turned up tail.


good, but glue problem
Mechanically, these skins are fine, the clipfix system works great and the skins climb very well. I had a serious problem with the glue however. It is so soft and tacky it sticks to my ski bases, even after they have been freshly waxed. The problem was worse in warmer weather or when the skins were on the skis and put in the sun to dry. The problem also occurred in the cold though. Maybe it was a bad glue batch from BD, I wonder if any others had this problem.


ascend like chuck norris
It took me a little while to cut them just right, but I’m a little stupid. They perform great and the clipfix has been awesome. I love the mesh to protect the skins in the sack.


Easy to fit, Awsome to climb with
Found the skins simple to cut to shape for the skis. Once fitted, they are simple to get on and off. The new 'cheat sheet' is useful for storage by stopping the skins sticking back on themselves, it saves the glue. It felt like I was on a magik carpet the first time I climbed on them.


works
The Clipfix style worked for me. I found the cutting tool easy to use. So far I have had no problem with my skins coming off. The clips stay put and the bottom has stayed nice and sticky.
