WHY G3?

As the market leader in climbing skins we focus on a full line approach where every skier in any condition anywhere in the world has the perfect G3 skin to choose from. Every decision we make is focused on enabling the user to do more in the backcountry.

1. Easy Peel Every Time - We completely redesigned the adhesive structure for an easy, clean, and consistent peel from tip to tail, keeping your transitions fast and smooth. The channels mean less surface area pulling against you when ripping your skins.

2. Reliable Bond Lap After Lap - We didn’t compromise one bit of glue reliability for ease of use. This is one place ChannelBond stands alone. It is formulated to stay aggressive and tacky, ensuring a perfect bond on your base for reliable reapplication, even on those cold, wet days when you need it most.

3. Durability For The Long Haul - ChannelBond is designed to be exceptionally long-lasting and reliable season after season. It resists wear and tear and will not turn into a sticky mess that compromises your gear or ruins your day. That means more seasons, more vertical, and more trusted performance.
