When a tip loop wears out or breaks, the Black Diamond Splitboard Skin Tip Loop Kit gets your skins back in service. It's a replacement tip attachment made from steel and aluminum hardware for Black Diamond splitboard skins. Instead of replacing a whole set of skins, you swap in a fresh tip loop and keep touring.

Why we like it:

It saves a good set of skins. Tip loops take a beating, and being able to replace just the hardware keeps otherwise healthy skins out of the trash.

Features and Functions:

This kit is Black Diamond's replacement tip loop for its splitboard skins, built from a steel and aluminum combination for strength at the point where the skin hooks over the nose of your board. It weighs 57g, light enough to toss in a repair kit for longer trips. Black Diamond lists it for use with its own splitboard skins, so confirm it matches your set before heading out.

Bottom Line:

Keep one in the gear drawer or your repair kit if you ride Black Diamond splitboard skins. It's a simple fix that extends the life of your skins by seasons rather than days.
