Comment est constituée une peau?

1

D‘UN VELOURS AVEC LE POIL COUCHE...

Le velours apporte l’accroche et la glisse. Ces caractéristiques varient en fonction du matériau (nylon, mix, mohair) et de la façon de tisser (poils plus/moins épais, plus/moins longs, plus/moins orientés). Normalement une peau qui glisse plus, accroche moins.

...SOUMIS A DIVERS TRAITEMENTS TECHNIQUES...

Les traitements rendent les poils du velours imperméables ce qui est important pour éviter les sabots. Les traitements permettent de colorer la peau et contribuent aussi à la fixation du poil et à son alignement/couchage, ce qui est important pour la durabilité ainsi que pour la glisse/accroche.

EVER DRY 3.0

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 chemical 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!

GLIDE

Thanks to the exclusive GLIDE process, ski tourers get extra glide with less effort. 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 effectively. Skins with GLIDE offer an effective process for the entire life of the skin, and unique antiglopping performance.

GLIDE PRO

POMOCA has developed a new GLIDE process. With the same application technology, but a new, very high-quality GLIDE PRO product, skins with GLIDE PRO offer exceptional extra glide, which is essential for high-level competitors.

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.

...AVEC UNE DOUBLURE...

La doublure permet de créer une couche imperméable entre le velours et l’adhésif, pour éviter que l’adhésif ne prenne de l‘humidité, ce qui diminuerait ses performances. Une doublure de qualité garantit un bon fonctionnement de l’adhésif et augmente la résistance de la peau à la déchirure.

SAFER SKIN

Exclusive to POMOCA, SAFER SKIN is a 100% waterproof membrane that completely blocks the absorption of moisture and guarantees good glue performance on a dry base. What’s more, SAFER SKIN offers excellent tear resistance and ease of handling. It is very easy to trim the skin, and it remains 100% waterproof after cutting.

SSL

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.

SSUL

Safer Skin Ultra Light (SSUL) is a membrane 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.

SSV

SAFER SKIN VERTICAL is the lightest membrane on the market. The membrane is reduced to its minimal form for the best possible weight optimization. Certainly more fragile, but still 100% waterproof, it offers a light weight that previously was unavailable.

... ET D‘UN ADHESIF

L‘adhésif permet à la peau de se coller au ski, ce qui est parfois difficile dans certaines conditions de froid et d’humidité. En général, les adhésifs n’aiment ni l’eau ni le froid, donc ils ont plus de difficulté à coller dans un environnement humide (brouillard ou chaleur du printemps/ neige mouillée) et/ou froid.
