So I bought skins right before coming to Argentina and didn't realize I was given the wrong size till I got here.

These are the skins:
http://blackdiamondequipment.com/en/ski-skins/glidelite-mohair-pure-custom-sts-skins-BD1637_cfg.html#start=10&sz=24

I'm pretty SOL and need to use them for 2 days.

They are being cut to 175 TSTs (101mm waist) So about 5mm being cut of either side in the middle otherwise the tip/tail wont be touched.

So if you have skis that needs skins that have dimensions less than 120 101 120 and shorter than 175, you can get skins that have been used twice at a steep discount.

Make an offer.

What's wrong with that size on your skis? Width is plenty close enough.

I don't have full coverage until about 5 inches before my binding. Spring conditions + a cm+ on either side = not the performance someone wants when they buy $200 skins.

Sounds like I'll have a super heavy discount on new ones when I get back because of the error, but I won't have a use for 2 pairs cut to the same pair of skis.

So logical thing to do... use skins for hut trip. Buy new skins way cheaper... sell old skins at discount and then I pretty much break even on my initial cost.


If no one buys them... Then I wait 2 or so years till I can afford a second touring set up since my next one will likely be something better for slop/chop.


Basically... needed 125s, got 110s... 110s will work, but for how much I paid, I'd rather still be able to get the 125s.

SO if someone buys said skins, we both win.
