Features
Light, precise design, long-lasting and incomparable grip, the Free Explore skin is the first gateway to explore the backcountry world. The ready2climb skin can be cut to a specific ski in just two minutes without any special tools. The adjustable loop can be fixed to any type of ski.
Introducing the new metallic Click Lock, fitted at the front of the skin, making this a universal system. This upgraded Click Lock is attached with 4 rivets, allowing for a precise and secure attachment on all skis, regardless of tip shape and length. Once the skin is adjusted to the ski length, the POMOCA precision cutter provided allows you to trim the sides of the skin, automatically freeing the ski edges. Your pair of skins is ready in 10-15 minutes.
- Thanks to the thinner layers, POMOCA has succeeded in making its classical SAFER SKIN membrane lighter. SAFER SKIN LIGHT (SSL) is 12% lighter which means 150g/m2 kess. SSL makes the pair of skins about 60-75g lighter while remaining 100% waterproof.
- EVER DRY 3.0 represents our largest step forward with respect to the environment: this is the first skin treatment on the market which does not contain any perfluorocarbon, a chemical found to be harmful to the environment. In 2020, the EVER DRY 3.0 will be used to treat all POMOCA skins, making this the first PFC-Free skins brand!

AI FAQs
AI generated FAQs about the Free Explore r2c 140mm
Can I use this ski for lift-served resort days as well, or is it really only built for touring?
These are climbing skins built for backcountry and alpine touring, not downhill skis for lift-served resort performance. They provide grip and glide for the uphill portion of a touring setup and attach to your skis with universal tip and tail hardware.
How do I figure out the right length for my height, weight, and the type of terrain I ski?
Choose the skin size by your ski length: S fits 155–170 cm, M 165–180 cm, L 175–190 cm, and XL 185–200 cm skis. Each skin can then be adjusted to your ski’s length and trimmed to free the ski edges.
I'm between two lengths — how do I decide which one is right for me?
Choose a size range that includes your ski length, with S covering 155–170 cm, M 165–180 cm, L 175–190 cm, and XL 185–200 cm. The ready2climb system adjusts to ski length before you trim the skin to fit your ski edges.
Does this ski come with bindings included, or is it sold as just the ski?
These climbing skins do not include bindings. They attach to your skis with a Universal Tip Clip and New Universal Power Hook.
How much does the weight of this ski actually affect a long day of skinning with lots of vertical gain?
Each skin weighs 238 g in the 120 mm x 180 cm reference size. The SAFER SKIN LIGHT membrane makes the pair about 60–75 g lighter while remaining 100% waterproof.
Does this ski come with anything else in the box, or is it just the ski itself?
These climbing skins include a POMOCA precision cutter for trimming the sides to your ski. The cutter automatically frees the ski edges after you adjust the skin length.
Is there anything I need to do to prepare this ski before I take it out for the first time?
Before your first tour, adjust these skins to your ski length and trim the sides with the included precision cutter. The ready2climb system can be cut to a specific ski without special tools, with the pair ready in about 10–15 minutes.
How do I know if the ski arrives in ready-to-ski condition or if it needs a tune out of the box?
These climbing skins arrive pre-cut to a universal size and must be trimmed and adjusted to your specific ski length before use, a process that takes about 10-15 minutes with the included POMOCA precision cutter. This quick setup lets you dial in a secure, edge-to-edge fit at home or in the shop so you're ready to skin up for your next backcountry mission.
Will I need to buy skins separately, and if so, what width should I be looking for?
This product is the climbing-skin set itself, and it is 140 mm wide. You can cut the skins to your specific ski and trim the sides to leave the ski edges free.
