voile tractor skins
Just finished an epic three day assault on numerous unopened ski trails in North Central Vermont after receiving 30+ inches of super low density snow last weekend. Trailbreaking was absurdly difficult for many skiers, even w/ super fat skis and skins, but splitboard and tractor skins floated best by far. Got nominated to break trail most of the time. Nonetheless, have toured w/ these in Utah, Alaska and much of New England, and work extremely well in powder and variable conditions. New riveted tip clip much better than old stitching and fabric. Adding a tail clip would be nice, but no huge problem. Being 110mm wide, they are wicked sticky but seem to be more manageable the more you use them. Carry some extra glue and get out there.

Skins for Splitboard
The "Cheat Sheets" by black diamond are a must for skins. I skinned to the summit of James Peak (13,249 ft). The splitboard is absolutely great, but the hardest workout of the day was pulling the skins apart. Once I bought the cheat sheets, it made pulling them apart a ton easier and I became envy of all my skier friends.

Skins work well. Trim tool is too flimsy, making trimming the skins difficult. Skins are extremely hard to pull apart when folded over - need to provide backing sheets which peel off easily, like what other manufacturers provide.

Voile Tractor Skins
They work great. They make ascent on a "Split Decision" a breeze, easily outperforming snow-shoes in fresh, virgin snow (the only use I've had from the skins so far). The extremely sticky glue makes them tricky to handle when changing between board and ski mode (and pulled the excess epoxy (that I should have sanded away) right off the bottom of the home-built split board I made using the Voile Split Kit.

These work surprisingly well except for a couple of shortcomings that I can see. They are truly a bastard to pull apart (as are most skins). But that comes with the territory. I wish they were made for each size of split board, instead of just two sizes that are too short on purpose. Also a clippable tail would be a cool addition, too. Other than that they work really well.
