As applying new glue, or rather removing the old glue, would have been too time-consuming for me this time, I looked around for new skins. I found what I was looking for with our partner POMOCA. I had no previous experience with skins from the Swiss manufacturer. The right skin was quickly found and, thanks to the good filter function, quickly selected and on my desk. When I unpacked it, I was already looking forward to my first ski tours, coupled with a pleasant smell of powder. The reason for the pleasant smell and the associated confirmation of the inner feeling of joy was a small scented sachet labelled "smell the fresh pow". Indeed, somehow it smelled like my bobble hat after a day of fun in deep powder, only better. Ok, I admit that's not a decisive factor for an adhesive skin, but it's a good and fragrant start.
I immediately noticed that I didn't have to attach the end hooks myself. That can be tedious and takes extra time. The attachment to the skin is also very good, as I have experienced less solid attachments that can sometimes tear out. The front brackets fitted perfectly straight away and are well stitched to the skin. The trimming knife has a large handle and does the best job I have ever experienced with trimming skins. It glides through the fur precisely, smoothly and easily and cuts it without fraying. This step can be very tedious or time-consuming. This time not! If you have never cut a skin before, you will need to concentrate a little, but the error rate is really low. I wouldn't put it past anyone who can open a beer can. And that's it. Just adjust the end hook to the length of the ski and you're ready to go. In addition to the knife and the scented bag, I also had a goggle cleaning cloth, a buff, an additional front bar and a skin bag. What more could you want? Except finally off, out and, above all, back under.
