Skins for ski mountaineering🥢

Choosing the right ski slopes is crucial for effective climbing and the overall climbing experience. Climbing straps for ski mountaineering provide traction on the snow, prevent sliding backwards, and at the same time allow forward movement. Here's how to choose the right harnesses for ski mountaineering:

Material type:
- Nylon: Durable and grippy nylon belts are known for their longevity and reliability. They work well in a variety of conditions and are often more affordable.
- Mohair (or a mohair blend): Mohair belts are lighter and more slippery, making them ideal for longer hikes. Nylon and mohair blends offer a good compromise between grip and slip.
Width and length: Choose a belt width that corresponds to the width of the skis. It is common for the straps to be slightly narrower than the skis. Most straps can be shortened to fit specific ski lengths, but refer to the manufacturer's instructions for shortening.
Fastening system: The belts are usually equipped with a tensioning system for fastening on the heel or on the toe. Some belts are also equipped with a strap for adjusting and tightening the belt. Choose a system that suits your preferences and is compatible with your skis.
Pile length: Longer pile provides better grip, but has a negative effect on glide.
Ability level: Beginners may prefer belts with better grip, while advanced ski alpinists may prefer better glide.

I bought an Orbea MX20 Team for my son for Chritmas 2025, MTBiker's team has been precise in the delivery, and they answered to all of my questions before the purchase.
Very good experience with MTBiker, my son loves to ride his new bike.
