G3 Alpinist (162-172cm) Climbing Skins 2012: G3’s innovative tip connector, laminated tail strap and new, patented tail connector make the G3 Alpinist Climbing Skin secure and very easy to use, while a supple proprietary synthetic plush delivers fast glide and unwavering traction. G3’s new tail clip elevates the leading climbing skin to an even higher level. The over-center camming clip stays positioned on tail strap, reduces tail strap wear and allows for easier adjustment and tensioning of skin.
