EXCELS IN COLD TEMPS. LIGHT & FAST.

At G3, every feature is designed to make the backcountry experience smoother and more intuitive. The new ALPINIST skins focus on the essential details that make a real difference. We’ve returned to our most trusted tip and tail designs, including the articulating hands for the tip connector and a simple rubber tail strap with a camming tail connector. It’s a purposeful design that makes skinning simple, secure, and intuitive, so you can focus on the climb ahead, not your gear.

Our NEW ChannelBond Adhesive is a game-changer for transitions. The vertical channel pattern provides a reliable connection to your ski.  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. More laps, less frustration.

Pure 100% mohair plush engineered for fast and light missions in cold, dry conditions. Maximum glide meets minimal weight for peak uphill efficiency.

NEW ChannelBond

NEW ChannelBond

ChannelBond is the smart, new adhesive that redefines G3 skins: reliable for as many laps as your legs have in them and long-lasting and durable without ever turning into a sticky mess.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. No More Skin Savers - You can also finally ditch the skin savers and simply store your skins glue-to-glue. This protects the adhesive and extends the life of your skins.
