Smart Glue – a newly developed adhesive
One of the things you need for ski alpine belts is that the adhesive layer firmly on the skid plate even in the most demanding conditions . The Austrian manufacturer KOHLA is a leader in adhesive layer technologies and is constantly improving and innovating them. The proof is newly developed Smart Glue, which You can really rely on it and it holds up great even in really cold weather.

Excellent glide
KOHLA VERTICAL Mixmohair climbing belts they are fast , have excellent glide, they won't hold you back in rapid motion and saves much-needed energy during a few-day transition. This is thanks to the mohair used and the way the fibers are woven:
- mohair fibers, their cut and quality, are chosen precisely so that they were fast and she had something best glide i on shifting snow
- The fibers have a special treatment that improves glide
- use longer fiber significantly increases resistance and lifespan belt while maintaining very fast sliding
Holds firmly even in spring frosts
In order for the climbing belt to hold securely on the ski slope, the ski slope and the adhesive layer must be dry. If moisture from the snow gets on the adhesive, it stops working, peels off, freezes and does not hold. For this reason, these KOHLA VERTICAL Mixmohair climbing belts use technology vulcanization , in which the fiber is directly fused into the bottom layer and the belt is therefore 100% waterproof . Its You can enjoy your ski tour without worries , because the glue holds firmly , does not freeze and works great even during spring frosts on wet snow.
Belts with vulcanized technology They have a longer lifespan because the hair is woven into the fabric and baked into the underlying rubber. Thanks to this, the belt does not get wet and has significantly higher grip in difficult spring conditions.
Impregnated climbing belts
Good climbing straps must hold well on the skis and glide well on the snow. Wet snow can stick to wet straps and there is nothing more annoying than having to drag a half-kilo of snow on your leg. The straps stop sliding and it takes too much effort. All KOHLA climbing belts are impregnated with fluorocarbon and snow doesn't stick to them.
- The impregnation repels moisture and thus prevents snow from sticking to the fibers.
- Impregnation improves glide - climbing belts are faster and movement is easier.
- Impregnation increases the durability of the fibers - the riser strips last longer.
- Riser strips dry faster.
- The impregnation is environmentally friendly - free of solvents and toxic substances and is biodegradable.
Still like new
With frequent use or after several seasons, the effect of the impregnation may decrease. In this case, replace it you can easily restore it with a spray KOHLA DRY CLIMB skin impregnation or KOHLA impregnating wax . The wax is small and is convenient to have in your backpack on a hike, especially for multi-day hikes.
Do I attach the straps to my skis?

Will the straps fit the width and cut of my skis?
