SKIN SKIS

If you are using skis with integrated skins we recommend to clean the skins with N22 Skin Cleaner  and then impregnate the skin with N20 Swix Skin Impregnation to improve the skins water repelliant properties and last boost the glide and grip properties with N21 Skin Boost.glide.

 

We wish everybody a nice trip!
