In words

Intro

A classic offering that’s among the most durable for the amount of plush and toughness of the backing. Since their earliest days, Black Diamond’s ski touring skins have been synonymous with what this model also delivers: reliability and durability. Yet not so much in terms of lightness and glide. But today, the Guidelite Tour FL embodies the full gamut of improvements applied to this type of skin. In particular, it's worth noting that the glue has been wisely applied to make the skins easy to rip from fatter skis.
