Is there a shelf life on skins?
I have a pair of G3 Alpinist skins that I bought about five years ago and while I only rarely tour anymore, I've noticed that they seem to be stickier than I remember. They leave a sticky film all over my hands and even on the bottom of my skis (it comes off when I ski, or if I let it air dry or whatever). But I just don't remember having this issue after I bought them, of course it has been five years.
So, is this normal? Is this something that happens to the adhesive on the skins as they age? Or, is it all just in my head?
