G3’s brand-new Minimist skins aim to take your touring hustle from fast to warp speed. The G3 Minimist Glide Climbing Skin 2020 does away with the stiff, anti-snow-creep plastic found in its ALPINIST+ skins in favor of a carbon fiber insert that’s lighter and works toward the same goal. By adapting textiles from other sports into this construction, G3 has made a climbing skin that’s 30 percent lighter—217 grams/skin in size medium, 100 millimeter width—than any other product in its category.
