In this episode of How To Xv, I go through some of the different options available in the skin market to help you choose what are the right type of skins for you and how to look after them, as well as some little tips for getting them on and off perfectly.

Hi Xavier, first of all, many thanks for the instructional videos and great tips, I learned a lot from you. could I ask you for a video about the clothes you use and how you layer them please? I don't like ski suits at all and I always sweat like a pig in snowboarding stuff. thank you very much and please continue spreading great knowledge, Fan from Slovakia
Hola - thanks for your message, really appreciate it, ask and you shall receive: czcams.com/video/87eEXB5r5-Y/video.html
Let me know if this answers your questions, agree there is nothing worse than being in uncomfortable gear! Happy shredding. Xv
@@HOWTOXV thanx Xavier I haven't seen that video on the list and thought I have seen already all of your videos... Great video but u could also mention pants and socks please 😁
Great new videos, thanks a lot! Which skins do you use yourself?
Hey thank you - I use the Rossignol XV Split skins by Pomoca - www.rossignol.com/cz/rkjw200-0000tu.html
Very happy with them. Xv
@@HOWTOXV thank you for the quick reply, appreciate it. Have a great season!
Xavier, I'm surprised you did not mention skin socks - new awesome replacement for skin nets. Well done video and info!
Oh nice, good shout - thank you - I nearly always glue them back on so have never tried a skin sock - do you use them ? Do you like them? Xv
can you give more info, I havent heard of socks for skins
Skin wax is for both mohair and synthetic skins ? I have Montana Montamix skins which is hybrid . I've waxed snowboards but never skins :)
The Pomoca wax is good for all skins - here is a more in depth article about it from Evo - an episode in itself! www.evo.com/guides/how-to-wax-backcountry-climbing-skins
