What skins will fit the bents?

Also, any suggestions on touring bindings that will attatch to the top of my current bindings? I dont want to change my bindings to touring bindings.

Thanks to all who help!

get amongst the pow!
 
Alpine Treckkers to attach to your bindings

Just find some skins that are long enough for your skis, and that are slightly narrower than the waist width of your Hellbents
 
Dont waste your money. super bulky.

As for skins: doesn't k2 give you pre cut skins?

and for bindings get the duke or baron if you are willing to drop the coin.
 
I skin on 191 ON3P Caylors with Fritschi Freeride bindings and BD Ascension 125mm skins. I am loving the setup.

I think the hellbent is a little fatter then the Caylors so I would opt for the BD 140mm Ascension Split skin
 
Truth.
If you can find the 179cm HellBent pre-cuts, they work too. REI sells them. Otherwise as stated, get something wide and trim them.
 
yeah but there isn't much of an option as to what goes on top of a regular alpine binding. Trekkers are the only option right now. just thought I would give an example of a setup i like
 
you might have some trouble skining on the hellbents because of how rockered they are. because of the complete reverse camber of the ski it has trouble gripping the skin tracks and may slide and play alot on the way up. just something to be cautious of my friend. good luck!
 
BCA Alpine trekkers are the only option that goes on top/in your normal bindings.. A lot of people hate them, and they are not the strongest.. But I use them for short hikes, it is a compromise but if your ok with that then its fine.. (be shure to take the time to set them correctly and dont over thighten the clip on the back..) you can find them for cheap btw..

Skins; be shure you get the good length.. find some wide ones and trim, thats really easy and tutorials on youtube..

Hellbents are deff not the best touring ski's, but I guess your not really gonna tour for hours with them.. in pow every ski is fine (even reverse sidecut) just on steeper stuff or ice its get tricky, you dont want that..

Have fun! Working for your lines is great!
