Nitro Vertical Splitboard Skins by KOHLA 26/27

The Vertical Splitboard Skins by KOHLA is a KOHLA-made blended skin for the Nitro Vertical. This page places it in a splitboard touring context: what it is for, where its limits sit and which equipment still belongs in the setup.

What is the Vertical Splitboard Skins by KOHLA designed for?

Splitboard skin performance depends on plush, adhesive, trimming and tip-and-tail hardware working together. Strong glue cannot compensate for snow on the adhesive or poor handling during windy transitions, so clean transition technique remains part of the system.

The model-specific cut avoids universal trimming. Still verify board length and model year before relying on the outline.

What is our editorial assessment?

We have tested all splitboard skins listed in this series. In our comparison, KOHLA skins performed best overall for durability, glide, traction and adhesive behaviour. That does not make every skin equally suitable for every tour: 100 percent mohair can improve glide on long days, while a mohair-nylon blend is usually tougher and more versatile.

For variable and adverse conditions, our clear recommendation is a conventional adhesive skin. In our experience it is less prone to failure than glueless systems when snow, wind and repeated transitions come together.

What is included and what else do you need?
