G3 alpinist speed skins
Anyone used the newer g3 alpinist speed skins? Pure mohair and outdoor gear lab says good grip but maybe glue issues.
They are on sale in the size I need for my new winter bc skis. Currently have ascension orange at are well used and a touch narrow from old skis and some g3 momix on the skinny setup. Would like something faster and lighter than the ascensions and am a sucker for a deal.

The G3 website says
- All New Non-Toxic Adhesive: Updated adhesive features a refined formula engineered to let you do more laps and cover more terrain without having to worry about your skins.
Wonder if it is still sticks to everything like the old G3 glue

I've always like the grip on g3 skins but the shitty glue is a big reason I'm going to try Pomoca skins this year.

I like these, and will be my third season on them. I particularly like the front end which is plastic and the long plastic tail attachment piece. I use them on my 196 Lhasa Pows, so having skin fabric just in the middle of the ski is beneficial. Glue is working similarly to my three different pairs of BD ascensions.

as mentioned above on clearance straight from G3. New winter touring setup should be 1.5lbs lighter per foot and mohair instead of nylon skins. Hopefully this compensates for my lack of fitness
