Description of Black Diamond Ascension Nylon STS Skins:
|
Black Diamond Ascension Nylon STS Skins offer solid climbing, and they fit any backcountry ski out there. The new, reversible double-bar tip loop fits an incredibly wide variety of tips, and the STS attachment system will securely attach to any tail. No longer will twin-tip and super-fat skis be a problem when you're touring the backcountry. The glue-free strip on the bottom of the Nylon STS makes skin removal easier, especially on fatties where it usually takes as long to get your skins off as it does to tear up the next slope.
|
|
Bottom Line: Secure fit on any ski.

| BD Ascension STS 01-27-06 |
| Willi B (2): |
| I used these effectively in 80cm fresh Japanese powder. 120cm width fits my '03 Seth Pistols perfectly, despite being slightly under-width toward tip. Also STS has no problem grappeling with Seth Twin Tips. Excellent attack angle, limited only by Fritzsche step height! Don't follow BD cutting instructions; use the SJH method, much easier. The bag provided is not big or tough enough. Fat skins need a bigger pouch. Mine already tore. Overall, big thumbs up and Four Stars! |

| Great for Pocket Rockets 02-10-06 |
| Wes Roon (7): |
| I've been using them in Tahoe on my old school Pocket Rockets, no problem with climbing angle or grip, but the bag provided is a piece of crap. |

| Very durable and effective 09-21-08 |
THOMAS ARMENTO (21):  |
| I don't have experience with other brands of climbing skins, but I've found the Nylon STS to be very durable during spring ascents where you will encounter non-snow surfaces along the way. As long as you don't slip back, traversing/climbing along rocky surfaces doesn't cause any rips in the skin. Longevity of adhesion has only been an issue after 8 hours into a multi-tour day. Avoid using the plastic netting to retain better adhesion. |
