Where the Splitboard Explore runs a 70\/30 mohair-nylon blend optimized for glide, the Free Explore goes full 100% nylon. The tradeoff is deliberate: nylon is meaningfully more abrasion-resistant than mohair, handles wet and variable snow without degrading as quickly, and holds up across a high volume of days and rough terrain without the plush wearing out prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe practical difference shows up over a season of hard use rather than on day one. If you're a splitboarder who puts in serious mileage, tours in wet coastal snow, or tends to be hard on gear, the Free Explore will outlast a mohair or mohair-blend skin by a significant margin. The grip is reliable across variable conditions, particularly in the wet, heavy snow where mohair can feel squirrely. The glide is adequate rather than exceptional, which is the honest tradeoff for the durability gain, and consistent with how all nylon skins perform relative to mohair blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBacking is Safer Skin Light (SSL), 12% lighter than Pomoca's original membrane while staying fully waterproof. Glue is Hotmelt, cold-weather optimized for frequent handling with gloves and reliable adhesion in freezing temperatures. Tip attachment uses the Ready2Climb Splitboard system: a 10-degree angled Click Lock with an off-center buckle, trimmable to width in two minutes with the Pomoca Cutter. Tail attachment is an elastic strap fitting most standard splitboard tails. Glide treatment is Ever Dry 3.0, PFC-free throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWorth knowing: 100% nylon skins need a break-in period before glide fully opens up, and they don't match a mohair skin on a cold, dry groomed skin track. This is the skin for skiers who prioritize longevity and wet-snow performance over outright efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSmall: \u003c\/b\u003e141 cm to 151 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMedium: \u003c\/b\u003e150 cm to 160cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 159 cm to 166 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pomoca.com\/upload\/media\/default\/0001\/01\/4a953231dfe8a1e998269ace1ad0e3fb4b069bd2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePomoca User Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pomoca","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":47835094941801,"sku":null,"price":259.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":47835094974569,"sku":null,"price":259.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":47835095007337,"sku":null,"price":259.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2091\/3261\/files\/1_c7139b28-0772-4d92-9da6-014ab3e33ab3.png?v=1785043592","url":"https:\/\/skiuphill.ca\/products\/pomoca-splitboard-free-explore-climbing-skins","provider":"SkiUphill | RunUphill","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
