By Jediah Porter Verified| OutdoorGearLab Verified Climbing skins are mystifying and magical. At first glance, they are simple. When we really sit back and ponder, they are quite miraculous. The way they stick to both ski and snow and release the stick from each as needed, is paradoxical and perplexing. To do so in such a harsh climate and under quite intense use (think about it: we literally stomp on them on steep, gnarly mountains for days, weeks, and years) is amazing. All products on the market do the job, but some are better than others.
By Jediah Porter Verified| OutdoorGearLab Verified By Jediah Porter ⋅ Review Editor ⋅ Dec 7, 2024 The Best Climbing SkinsOur team of backcountry ski guides has continually tested the best climbing skins over the past decade. This review draws on their cumulative wisdom earned through skinning millions of vertical feet to directly compare 17 of the best skins side-by-side. We consider the needs of skiers across the spectrum of abilities, goals, backgrounds, and budgets to help you find the best option for your new setup.

Company Info
OutdoorGearLab
The GearLab mission is simple: to create world's best outdoor gear reviews. Our secret sauce is side-by-side comparative reviews. Here's how it works: 1) We select the top products in each category. 2) Our Gear Testers put the products through detailed side-by-side tests, both in the lab and in the field, and score each product across a range of weighted categories. 3) We rank the products, explain why, and give awards to the best. Our review process starts with selection: we look at hundreds of products to determine the top contenders in each category. We then buy the top contenders for detailed hands-on testing. To provide a fair basis for scoring, we develop a set of objective lab tests for each category that will help us quantify important differences between competing products.
