PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Voile Tractor Skins are splitboard-specific climbing skins designed to get you into the backcountry. The Voile Tractor Skins' bomber riveted stainless steel tip-loops take the abuse of ascending and ensure they stay securely on your board. Voile used the most tenacious glue and super grippy hydrophobic nylon mohair to keep you ascending into thin air. These extra-wide climbing skins come complete with a nylon bag and trim tool to make sure they fit any splitboard.
Bottom line
Gitty-up. The incredible grip, slide, and durability of the Voile Tractor Skins will have your skier buddies bribing you to break trail.
Product Reviews
Voile Tractor Skins
They work great. They make ascent on a "Split Decision" a breeze, easily outperforming snow-shoes in fresh, virgin snow (the only use I've had from the skins so far). The extremely sticky glue makes them tricky to handle when changing between board and ski mode (and pulled the excess epoxy (that I should have sanded away) right off the bottom of the home-built split board I made using the Voile Split Kit.
Voile Tractor Skins
Just finished touring out of Chamonix ( France) on my home built split board and these skins, both worked like a dream. The skins feel grippy, slide and climb well. Take the time to trim them properly - have a good look at the instructions and make sure you leave a reasonable space by the edges of the board. Get 'em and get out there.
Skins for Splitboard
The "Cheat Sheets" by black diamond are a must for skins. I skinned to the summit of James Peak (13,249 ft). The splitboard is absolutely great, but the hardest workout of the day was pulling the skins apart. Once I bought the cheat sheets, it made pulling them apart a ton easier and I became envy of all my skier friends.
Voile split decision tractor skins
Skins work well. Trim tool is too flimsy, making trimming the skins difficult. Skins are extremely hard to pull apart when folded over - need to provide backing sheets which peel off easily, like what other manufacturers provide.
voile tractor skins
Just finished an epic three day assault on numerous unopened ski trails in North Central Vermont after receiving 30+ inches of super low density snow last weekend. Trailbreaking was absurdly difficult for many skiers, even w/ super fat skis and skins, but splitboard and tractor skins floated best by far. Got nominated to break trail most of the time. Nonetheless, have toured w/ these in Utah, Alaska and much of New England, and work extremely well in powder and variable conditions. New riveted tip clip much better than old stitching and fabric. Adding a tail clip would be nice, but no huge problem. Being 110mm wide, they are wicked sticky but seem to be more manageable the more you use them. Carry some extra glue and get out there.
