Colltex

Even if freeriders often pay little attention to ski touring skins, you should always keep the chapter on care in mind. Ski touring skins constantly rub against the snow and lose their waterproofing through friction and contact with the snow. Natural hair is more affected by this than synthetic products. If the climbing or gliding properties deteriorate, you should consult the manufacturer's care instructions. A block of impregnating wax to renew the protective layer is available in any outdoor store for just a few dollars. Especially with skins that have already absorbed moisture and are used in cold snow, there is a risk that lumps of snow will collect on them – the skins tend to "stollen".

The well-known coat brand Colltex from Switzerland has launched the ct40, a coat with a new type of adhesive. This is expected to ensure easy handling and good adhesive properties at all temperatures. The ct40 is available in 100, 110, 120 and 130 mm widths and up to 195 cm in length.
