Jones Snowboards Nomad Splitboard Skins

Trim-to-fit means the skins come as a universal sheet that you must cut to match the specific sidecut and shape of your splitboard. The kit includes a specialized cutter and instructions, but you will need a steady hand and a clean workspace to ensure a precise edge-to-edge fit.

Yes, these skins are designed to be universal. Because you trim them to fit your specific board's dimensions and install the tail clips yourself, they will work with any splitboard brand or model on the market.

The 70/30 mohair-nylon blend strikes a balance between glide and durability. While 100% mohair offers the best glide, it wears out faster; adding nylon increases the skin's longevity and grip, making this blend a more versatile choice for varied backcountry conditions.

This treatment prevents snow and ice from sticking to the skin's surface, a common issue known as 'glopping' that adds significant weight and ruins your glide. It keeps the skins performing consistently even when you transition between wet, heavy snow and freezing temperatures.

Yes, you will need a hammer or a rivet tool to secure the universal tail clips once you have trimmed the skins to length. The kit includes the necessary rivets and clips, but you should have basic hand tools ready for the installation process.

The rubber backing is designed to prevent water from soaking into the skin material, which helps maintain strong adhesion to your board base. It is robust enough for regular touring, but you should always use the included backing sheets for storage to preserve the glue's lifespan.
