skin care

[akfaller]

just wanted to know the different techniques you all had for taking care of your climbing skins, whether in the field or storage.

also, has anyone tried the black diamond cheat sheets? i am thinking about picking some up, they're cheap and seem like they'd be worth it.

i use the cheat sheets. they help pulling the skins off each other easier in the field, like when you are ready to skin back up after a descent. i keep mine semi-coiled up in my pack when not in use. when i get home, i hang them out to dry glue side up and not stuck to itself/sheets. i haven't been doing this a long time, so i haven't had to reglue my skins
