KOHLA climbing skins for splitboards
Splitboards are boards that can be divided lengthwise to form a snowboard. The board is split in half and with a special binding a snowboarder can also go ski touring.

Use of the splitboard skins
Splitboard skins are highly technical products. To experience an uncompromising use of the skins must also be observed a few points. In our product videos, stories and FAQs you will find more interesting facts and explanations about care, storage, etc.
During the splitboard touring
Tips for during the ski tour with your splitboard:- Intermittently check the tensioning system during the ascent, readjust if necessary.
- Put on the protective foil when taking off the skins. (For Alpinist and Freeride with Smart Glue adhesive layer this is not mandatory. With Peak skins, a release liner must be used in any case because of the hotmelt adhesive!)
After the tour
After the tour it is very important to dry the splitboard skins rolled out in a well ventilated room. Do not dry on heaters or ovens. This can severely damage the mohair/mixed mohair and the adhesive layer.
