I notice that the glue on Dynafit Speedskins are pretty weak. They do the job, but if cold powder gets on them or they get damp the glue loses all adhesive qualities. I'm not into putting skins in my jacket to warm the glue, but found after many pairs of skins that the BD glue is the gold standard in the industry.
I like the fit and reduced pack capacity of the Speedskin though and they tour well for fatter skis.
How many people here pulled the manufacture glue off the Speedskin and replaced it with the Black Diamond Gold Label?

It seems that many Euro rando racers paint a thin layer of Gold Label right over the factory Colltex and Pomoca glue on new skins, particularly when they anticipate cold temps . . .
