 Poster: A snowHead
|
I wonder if anyone can help? I'm after some new skins, and ideally would like to get BD Glidelite STS skins 125mm wide to fit my Mantras, and am struggling to find any in the off-season sales, anyone seen any at the right price?
Loads in US but they wont sell BD to UK customers, trade agreements etc.
On the basis that I may be unlikely to get sorted, anyone seen any other makes out there that come highly recommended, and at a good deal?
Thanks, appreciate any feedback.

I have experience of BD, Colltex, G3 and Pomoca skins. I have my preferences all other things being equal but if you can find a deal, just get the cheapest. I've had decent luck getting heavily discounted G3 skins from the US

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

not really something you get super-reduced deals on typically over here, not like previous year's ski models that you can get for a steal in the off season for instance. I have preferences too although brands are much of a muchness - at the size and skis you're looking at i guess you aint a hardcore climber, more like a regular/occasional skinner, more interested in the down? on that basis you could theoretically go smaller on the fit which would be cheaper (but compromise your grip a bit)
Have you spoken on the phone to any retailers in US? Might get a different more positive response by talking to them directly if you haven't already done so
