If you’re a guide in the backcountry, other people’s lives can depend on the gear that you choose. That’s why, in 1995, when G3 started making avalanche probes, they decided to hold every item they made to a higher standard. Will this piece of equipment improve the abilities and safety of professionals who live and work in the backcountry? The Alpinist Climbing skin is G3’s premium, lightweight high performance climbing skin. An innovative tip connector and laminated tail strap make the Alpinist secure and very easy to use, while a supple proprietary synthetic plush delivers fast glide and unwavering traction. The new RipStrip also reduces skin-to-skin adhesion making skins easier to pull apart. All G3 skin adhesive is temperature tolerant and non-toxic/solvent free.
