Contour Guide Pure 2.0 115 25/26

The Contour Guide Pure 2.0 115 is a 115mm wide climbing skin with 100% mohair plush. It uses Contour's Hotmelt adhesive, which holds reliably to the ski base after repeated skinning and in low temperatures. The updated backing is around 10% lighter, absorbs less water and packs noticeably smaller. An ultrasonically welded tail strap with no seams or rivets resists abrasion, and the tail clip adjusts length by threading. Production is PFAS-free, and each pair ships with a stuff sack, cutting tool and release film.

The trade-off is focus. Contour built this skin for tourers who put glide and low weight first, and it arrives as a trim-to-fit skin, so set aside a few minutes with the included cutting tool before the first tour.

It suits ski tourers, men and women alike, who rack up long ascents and big vertical days and want every stride to slide forward easily.

The 115mm width is trimmed along the edges to match your ski. Sizes up to 195cm are a universal version that adjusts for all shorter lengths, and the tail clip makes length fine-tuning easy.

We think the Guide Pure 2.0 is a fantastic skin for long, rolling approaches and big tour days, where smooth glide and a light pack make the whole outing feel easier.
