if other folks have skins as well i'd take a couple of pairs. We're taking a group of 16 on an excursion with a long approach. kicker skins could really help!

title says it all. These will be experimental so i'm not looking to spend tons of cake. I don't care if it has tip or tail attachments as i'll be cutting them off. I would prefer decent glue.
As for...
