Pomoca FREE PRO - READY2CLIMB 123MM: ready-to-use ski touring skins for wide skis

The Pomoca FREE PRO - READY2CLIMB 123MM is a ski skin designed for freeride-oriented ski touring, with a width of 123 mm that is particularly suited for wide skis used in the backcountry. Its blended composition of 65% mohair and 35% nylon offers a sought-after balance between glide and grip, suitable for long climbs as well as more technical ascents. Thanks to Ready2Climb technology, you get a skin ready to be quickly adjusted to your skis without any special tools. Lightweight and technical, it’s designed to optimize your effort on the ascent while remaining easy to handle in the field.

Glide and performance: optimized efficiency on the ascent

At the heart of the Pomoca FREE PRO - READY2CLIMB 123MM, the 65% mohair / 35% nylon blend is the key to its glide performance. Mohair, a natural fiber renowned for its gliding properties, directly helps reduce effort with every step, as reflected by the Glide indicator : 200 kcal/h —you expend less energy over a given distance. Nylon, on the other hand, complements the mohair by ensuring consistent pile alignment to maintain a smooth glide on the snow.

With a Grip value of 46 g/cm², this skin is designed to offer controlled traction that limits slippage during ascents, while preserving the gliding sensation. This balance between glide and grip is particularly relevant for backcountry skiing, where transitions between moderate slopes and steeper sections are frequent. The stated weight of 1000 g/m², combined with approximately 216 g per skin (123 mm x 180 cm), helps keep the setup lightweight underfoot for extended touring days.

Traction and Grip: Reliable Traction on Ascents

The Pomoca FREE PRO - READY2CLIMB 123MM features grip designed for sustained climbs, with a grip measured at 46 g/cm². This value illustrates the skin’s ability to limit ski slippage with each step, a key factor in maintaining a steady pace on steep slopes or traverses. The 35% nylon content in the fiber blend contributes to a more robust and stable pile structure, which helps maintain this grip over the course of your outings.

The goal of this skin is to offer a clear compromise: enough grip to keep you safe during turns, without hindering glide on smoother sections. This performance balance makes it ideal for outings where you alternate between long approaches, steep descents, and the varied terrain typical of freeride ski touring.

Durability and materials: mohair/nylon blend and skin technologies

The 65% mohair / 35% nylon composition is key to the durability of the Pomoca FREE PRO - READY2CLIMB 123MM. Mohair provides excellent glide, while the more robust nylon contributes to the skin’s mechanical strength during repeated handling and frequent use in the mountains. The weight of 1000 g/m² reflects this technical construction, designed to remain lightweight while maintaining a reliable structure.

The Safer Skin Light (SSL) membrane reduces the skin’s weight by approximately 12% compared to an equivalent construction without this technology, while ensuring a uniform barrier within the skin. This design aims to limit weight gain associated with wet conditions and contributes to consistent performance in variable snow conditions. The EVER DRY 3.0 water-repellent treatment, marketed as eco-friendly, is applied to help the skin better manage moisture and snow buildup, which supports glide and maneuverability throughout the outing.

Finally, Swiss manufacturing ensures rigorous control of the production process, with a focus on consistent performance from one pair to the next—an important criterion for those seeking a technical skin for regular use.

Compatibility and practicality: Ready2Climb system

The Pomoca FREE PRO - READY2CLIMB 123MM is designed to simplify your pre-trip setup thanks to Ready2Climb technology. This system allows you to trim and adjust the skin to fit your skis in about two minutes, without any special tools, significantly reducing prep time compared to cutting by hand. You choose the size that fits your ski length from the available options (S 155–170 cm, M 165–180 cm, L 175–190 cm) to accommodate various touring ski setups.

With a width of 123 mm, this skin is particularly suited for wide skis used in freeride and backcountry skiing. It comes with a tip & tail attachment system designed to be mounted beforehand, then adjusted to the shape of your skis as part of the Ready2Climb concept. The skin’s adhesive, designed for ski touring, ensures a secure grip on the base during ascents, while remaining durable enough to withstand the repeated handling required during a day of skiing.

To help you visualize the practical benefits of these features, here are the key points to remember:

• 123 mm width: coverage suited for wide freeride skis for better grip.
• Ready2Climb technology: quick setup without special tools to save time before your outing.
• 65% mohair / 35% nylon: balance between smooth glide and fiber durability for regular use.
• Safer Skin Light (SSL): approximately 12% reduction in skin weight to limit fatigue on the ascent.
• EVER DRY 3.0 treatment: optimized moisture management to maintain glide and maneuverability.
