Product Description

The Atomic Vasa Skintec classic ski is a new breed of ski. Using Mohair inserts, the Atomic Skintec ski is desinged to perform in all temperatures and conditions. These skis are designed to eliminate the use of hard waxes and provide exceptional kick in all conditions. The ski construction and flex pattern was specifically designed around the Skintec inserts to provide optimal performance.

From Atomic -
"This waxless technology has been going through nine years of testing and development. The Skintec strips on the insert are from a Swiss manufacturer of climbing skins called Kohla. Technically speaking, these are Mohair strips. However, the Skintec inserts do not ice up like the Mohairs used in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s used to do. The Kohla Mohair strips used by Atomic have a Teflon like material in them that prevents any icing."

Thanks for the review, Sam. I haven't heard of anyone else losing skintec plates, but it's certainly possible. I suspect what may have happened is that when you stopped, the slush was able to more thoroughly penetrate the mohair and then freeze around the hairs, thus freezing the plate to the ground. Not a problem when moving, but standing in place in such moist conditions could definitely make this an issue. We'll definitely keep it in mind and pass the word along to Atomic.

Steve - we should be able to get ahold of replacement skintec plates. We haven't had to order any yet, so I don't know specifics, but if you need them call us at 877-473-GEAR and we'll try to get a pair from atomic for you.

Skied these for the first time in 40F with slushy conditions. First half hour were great. Stopped to talk with frineds and then started skiing again. Noticed something wrong with the skis and looked at the base and noticed one of the plates had come unattached from the magnets at the spot where had been talking. Anyone else have this problem. Skied for another hour after attaching them and no problem.
