Nikwax Ski Skin Proof 125ml bottle with purple cap, orange label and sponge applicator

Nikwax Ski Skin Proof (125ml)

Regular price $24.99
Taxes included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
Description

Nikwax Ski Skin Proof is a water-based treatment for ski touring climbing skins. To be upfront: this one's for skiers, not your running gear. It stops skins soaking up water so they don't get heavy, ice up or ball with snow, and it helps them glide better on the way up. Handy if you swap trail shoes for touring skis once the snow arrives.

Why You'll Love It
  • Skins stay lighter because they stop soaking up water
  • Less ice building up in the fibres on cold days
  • Better glide, with less effort on each stride uphill
  • Sponge applicator makes it a quick job on the skis
Technical Features
  • Type: Water-based waterproofing for ski climbing skins
  • Volume: 125ml
  • Applicator: Sponge
  • Method: Apply to wet or dry skins on the ski, front to back, remove excess after 2 minutes with a damp cloth, dry naturally
  • Suits: All types of ski skins
  • Formula: PFC free, non-flammable
Perfect For
  • Ski tourers and splitboarders before the season starts
  • Mountain runners who tour in winter
  • Skins that have started soaking up water and icing

Less suited to: Anything running related. For that, look at our Nikwax range for jackets and shoes.

Why We Stock It

A lot of our runners turn into ski tourers when winter arrives, and wet, icy skins make for a slow climb. Stocking it means they can sort skin care in the same visit as everything else. We'd rather be honest that it's a ski product than pretend otherwise.
