I’m trying to buy some skins for my Dynastar Exclusive Legends Eden skis (165cm, 126mm * 85mm * 110mm). I’m on a budget but have found some Glidelite Mohair Mix STS skins for a good price from expe.fr
They’re only 110 mm wide though and I was wondering if the 8mm of ‘gap’ near the wide point at the tip is a problem.

Any advice on this or good sources of bargain skins(!) would be most appreciated!

Thanks,

Suze

8mm wont be a problem, it’ll only be a short section either side of the tip showing.

IMO no problem at all. Could be slightly tricky to cut though.

Thanks!

Just bought 110mm gecko skins for skis with 120mm shovels and they were perfect (you need to allow for the edges plus a mm). I doub’t you will much ski exposed at the shovels and over a very limited length. As others said, you’ll be fine.

elhix, you’ll be fine! ski mountaineering racers use much narrower skins.

Just bought 110mm gecko skins ...

--off topic--
I have an older pair of Geckos and I love them, never had any problems.
Once you get to use them, I’ll be intested in how the new ones perform, because Lou said there are some issues with the newer Geckos

Look here.

I got my Geckos from Windschilli on ebay. I know a number of people who have ordered from him. You may find some deals there
