Hey everyone.  Im looking into getting some new skins for this winter and was wondering if anyone had any comments regarding the skins from climbingskinsdirect.com because they are the best skins for the price i could find on the internet (~110$).  Also they make their skins specifically for twin tips unlike some other companies like black diamond that are made for skis with a flatter tail.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

My personal favorites are BD Ascension with the STS tail.

But I have heard good things from people using Clinbingskinsdirect, though. I have a friend who has used them for 2 years with good results, so I would say go for it.

Black diamond skins do fit any twin tip, with a round or square tip and tail.

Are the BD's worth the extra 40 to 50 bucks?
