Pomoca Free Pro 2.0 Skins

These skins are so light it feels like there is no added weight when going uphill. Pomoca set out to build a skin that would appeal to ski mountaineers with their light weight, while also appealing to freeskiers with their width. The Pomoca Free Pro 2.0 are those skins. They also have them precut for your Dynafit Beasts. $199.95
