QUICK AND EASY CUSTOM SETUP

The ESCAPIST UNIVERSAL is the most affordable and versatile custom-fit performance climbing skin that's designed to be as easy to set up as it is to use.

The ESCAPIST is a fully customizable climbing skin. The user sets the length and trims the edges according to their skis using the included G3 trim tool. For the first time in a custom setup skin, the ESCAPIST features G3's patented self-aligning stainless steel hands to create a strong connection with any ski tip shape. Paramount to the ESCAPIST design, this feature brings G3's premium user experience and performance to a value line of skins.

New for the 2022/2023 season, G3 has improved the ESCAPIST tails. Sizing holes have been added to improve user experience and now has similar functionality to the tried and true ALPINIST+ tail strap. This eliminates slippage thanks to the mechanical design while maintaining the ultra lightweight design and materials.

Removable rip strip reduces skin-to-skin adhesion, making it easier to pull apart skins. If your glue gets contaminated on an epic traverse, you can remove the strip for extra adhesion.

G3 Minimist GLIDE

$419.99

GST included. Free NZ Shipping on orders over $50.

UNCOMPROMISED PERFORMANCE AT UNRIVALED WEIGHT

Designed for frustration-free ease of use, the MINIMIST GLIDE with its optimal mix of mohair and nylon plush is the modern realization of everything skiers expect from their skins. It's the lightest, most packable fully-featured momix skin in the world.

The MINIMIST skins achieve an ultralight feel by using high performance textiles from other demanding sports applications as a backbone. This results in climbing skins that exceed the highest expectations for features and performance. Every MINIMIST skin is up to 30% lighter than anything else in its performance class.

The MINIMIST skins pack small enough to fit into your jacket pocket. The low-bulk materials matched with the minimalist tip and tail system create a tightly packed roll that doesn't require any extra room in your pack.

A carbon fibre insert at the tip of each MINIMIST skin creates a directionally rigid platform that prevents snow creep and extends your time in the mountains.

New for the 2022/2023 season, G3 has improved the MINIMIST tails. Sizing holes have been added to improve user experience and now has similar functionality to the tried and true ALPINIST+ tail strap. This eliminates slippage thanks to the mechanical design while maintaining the ultra lightweight design and materials.
