HYDROPHOBIC TREATMENT
FLUOR
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 chem-
ical 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!
GRIP
Good climbing grip is very important. So
POMOCA has developed a combination
of materials and weaving techniques to
combine glide and durability with gripping
power. Proper alignment and the fiber
attachment systems make POMOCA
skins very stable under all conditions and
for the entire life of the skin.
MEMBRANE
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.
Safer Skin Ultra Light (SSUL) is a mem-
brane combining optimal lightness with
the durability of the Safer Skin Light. With
the SSUL, POMOCA not only reduces
the weight but also the size of the skin
while maintaining the same level of
performance.
POMOCA has succeeded in making its
classical SAFER SKIN membrane lighter.
Thanks to finer layers in the membrane,
SAFER SKIN LIGHT
is 12% lighter
(150g/m2 less). While remaining 100%
waterproof, and with slightly less wear
resistance, SAFER SKIN LIGHT makes the
pair of skins about 60-75g lighter.
GLIDE
POMOCA has developed a new GLIDE
process. With the same application tech-
nology, but a new, very high-quality
GLIDE
PRO
product, skins with GLIDE PRO offer
exceptional extra glide, which is essential
for high-level competitors.
Thanks to the exclusive
GLIDE
process,
ski tourers get extra glide with less ef-
fort. This treatment, which is applied at
the end of the production process and to
the entire length of the fiber, makes the
skin glide and resist moisture more effec-
tively. Skins with GLIDE offer an effective
process for the entire life of the skin, and
unique anti-glopping performance.
POMOCA technologies are founded on research and development combined with an
in-depth knowledge of snow. Our technical and chemical engineers work in collabo-
ration with guides and athletes to develop our products. Together, they modify the
surface properties of textiles and thus the effect of the self-adhesive skins.
Important
This process will display its full efficacy after being used a number of times (approxi-
mately 1,000 meters positive elevation) and will remain throughout the entire useful
life of your pair of skins.
