CHOOSING YOUR SPLITBOARD+ CLIMBING SKINS
SPLITBOARD+ climbing skins are designed to fit right out of the box. No more
trimming to length or installing tip loops.
There are two different SPLITBOARD+ skin lengths; each length will fit a range
of boards. Consult the size chart on the packaging to determine which skin
length matches the length of your board.
SKIN TRIMMING
Your SPLITBOARD+ climbing skins come with a G3 Trim Tool specifically de-
signed for trimming your skins with an offset to expose the board edges.
1 Remove release liner (1).
2 Attach tip connector to splitboard half (2). Make sure that the metal hand hold-
ing the straight edge of your splitboard is gripping securely and the cross bar is
oriented directly across the board.
3 Attach and adjust the tail clip for length (3). Lift the rubber skin tail off the
tooth of the tail clip base and push excess tail through the back until you reach
the desired hole. Then pull the excess tail back through the other side of the tail
clip base and secure it with the other tooth. Secure the metal clip on the tail clip
base to the straight edge of your board. Then the tail clip should cam over the
tail easily. It is not necessary to tension the skin too tight. Skin fabric should be
a minimum of approximately 5cm (2in) from board tail. Once length adjustment
is final, position the tail strap inside the end of the tail clip lever for best posi-
tioning on your board while skinning (3).
4 Make sure the skin is mounted straight and flat on your board. Align the skin
to match the inside of the metal edge on the straight edge of your board.
5 Trim the skin on the curved edge of your board by following the board edge with
the G3 Trim Tool (4).
6 Skin should be trimmed precisely to reveal both edges (5).
CARE AND STORAGE
Your skin glue is sacred – keep it clean. When removing your skins don't drop
them in snow, pine needles or on dusty floors. Dirt and lint from fabrics will
stick to your skin glue and weaken its hold.
If possible, dry both sides of your skins daily. Be careful not to expose them
to direct sunlight or sources of heat like fires and stoves. If hanging them in a
mountain hut's common drying area, hang them carefully and securely, so that
other items like wool socks and gloves do not come into contact with the glue.
When the skins are being dried or stored without skin savers, we recommend
storing them glue to glue, rather than leaving the glue exposed to air.
Do not expose your skins to temperatures above normal room temperature
(22C/72F), or expose them to direct sunlight.
Freshly waxed boards must be well scraped and brushed. Any loose wax will
contaminate your skins' glue.
Do not put your skins on your board the night before you tour; apply them at
the trailhead. Do not put your skins on at home.
Do not store your skins on your board.
For any longer-term storage we strongly recommend using G3 Skin Savers,
included with your skins. These storage sheets sandwich between the adhesive
sides of your folded skins, making your skins much easier to handle and pull
apart after they have been stored for a length of time. Use them!
Cut the G3 Skin Saver in half and adhere each piece to the bottom half of each
skin. Fold the tip end of the skin back onto the G3 Skin Saver so that a single
layer of the Skin Saver is sandwiched between the two halves of the skin.
With the G3 Skin Savers in place between the skins' adhesive sides, you can
fold your skins and put them in the storage bag.
NOTE: Skin Savers are not intended for use in the field.
ALWAYS store your fully dried skins in a cool, dry place.
