    MP touring skins. Are they any good?

    I've seen some MP-sport skins on Ebay for a good price, new. The seller assures me they aren't the Gecko unglued type, which I know were not reviewed well.

    He also says they are 100% mohair, medium/short pile which ball less than longer pile, nylon skins. Is he talking crap or are these good skins?

    Thanks in advance.
    Monty Python's version of the cougar phenomenon:
    "This is a frightened city. Over these houses, over these streets hangs a pall of fear. Fear of a new kind of violence which is terrorizing the city. Yes, gangs of old ladies attacking defenseless, fit young men".

    That's the page you are directed to when entering mpsports

    http://www.gecko.co.at/Gecko_Home_ENG.html

    so looks like he's talking crap. The Gecko seems to be the only skin made by MPSports and consists of 100% Mohair.

    FWIW here's a test done by an alpine magazine (unfortunately in Douche only)

    Gecko makes a conventional glued skin? Interesting. Lou reviewed the non-glue Geckos 2X
