Kohl SMU Mixmohair

Fast mix climbing belts that hold firmly and have excellent glide. With impregnation against snow sticking. Reliable adhesive down to -30°C with membrane.

Do you need reliable tracks that have a long service life, excellent “driving” properties and hold well on frozen snow and in spring snowdrifts? KOHLA SMU Mixmohair climbing tracks are exactly that. With a 50:50 slip and climb ratio, they are ideal for fast ascents of hills. You can then put all your energy into a great descent. A comfortable ascent is supported by the impregnation of the fibers, which prevents snow from sticking to the tracks, and the membrane, which does not let moisture into the glue and thus holds the tracks firmly even in changing conditions throughout the season.

Reliable adhesive in all circumstances

The Austrian manufacturer KOHLA is a leader in adhesive layer technology and is constantly improving and innovating. Thousands of ski mountaineers have long relied on their proven Hot-Melt adhesive:

• suitable even in severe frosts – reliably holds even at -30°C
• snow does not get between the ski base and the belt – it maintains excellent grip even on the edges of the ski base
• no need to use a separation foil or mesh – the glue does not tear
• The adhesive lasts a long time – it is wear-resistant
• environmentally friendly – ​​free of solvents and other toxic substances
• The strips can be unstuck really easily without brute force

Long-lasting climbing belts

KOHLA SMU Mixmohair belts are designed for frequent use. The combination of high-quality mohair and nylon (65% mohair and 35% nylon) ensures the optimal ratio between excellent glide, climbing ability and long service life:

• Mohair has excellent sliding properties, which saves a lot of effort when climbing.
• Nylon (a synthetic polymer) gives the belts greater durability and has better wet slippage than mohair in spring snow.
• “W” fiber weave, which is more durable, has good glide and holds well when climbing even on frozen snow.
• The fiber layer is made of a blend of high-quality cotton and polyester - increased resistance to tearing and wear.

Holds firmly even in spring frosts

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 SMU Mixmohair climbing belts use the technology of applying a PU membrane between the layer with the braided hair and the layer with the adhesive applied, making the belts 100% waterproof. You can enjoy your ski tour without worries, because the adhesive holds firmly, does not freeze and works great even in spring firns on wet snow.

Impregnated climbing belts

Good climbing belts must hold well on the skis and glide perfectly on the snow. Wet snow can stick to wet belts and there is nothing more annoying than having to drag a half-kilogram of snow on your leg. The belts stop sliding and it takes too much effort. All KOHLA climbing belts are impregnated with fluorocarbon and snow does not 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, you can easily restore it with KOHLA DRY CLIMB skin impregnation spray or KOHLA impregnation 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?

KOHLA SMU Mixmohair climbing straps can be attached to any ski - you can easily replace the steel eyelet with a different attachment for a different type of tip. The parts are made of high-quality plastic and stainless steel materials that are resistant to frost and wear.

• Tip: fixed T-Bar tip (85 mm) that Fits most skis or with a metal (z-Hook) and rubber (i-Fix) hook option for skis with a groove.
• Heel: sewn-in plastic elastic strap and hook (K-Clip + Elastic Strap), which has a 12 cm adjustment range. For twin-tip skis, use the Butterfly hook.

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

For the easiest uphill climb, it is important to have the largest possible surface area of ​​the ski base covered by the belt. Therefore, it is important to choose the right width and length of the belts. KOHLA SMU Mixmohair climbing belts in the Multifit version are available in a width of 120 mm and in lengths from 149 - 197 cm in 6 cm increments, and you simply cut the belts 2.5 mm from the side exactly to the shape of your skis.
