Founded in Switzerland, Pomoca is the global leader in climbing skins for ski touring and mountaineering. Known for exceptional grip-to-glide ratios and innovation, Pomoca has been trusted by alpine professionals and backcountry explorers for decades. The brand blends Swiss precision with a passion for performance—while also pioneering more responsible manufacturing practices.

Pomoca has been taking significant steps to reduce its environmental footprint through its Pomoca Eco initiative:

• PFC-Free Skins: Pomoca was the first company to completely eliminate perfluorocarbons (PFCs) from its climbing skins. These persistent chemicals are harmful to both the environment and human health. Since 2020, all Pomoca skins have been 100% PFC-free.
• Eco Glue Technology: Their latest skin glue is solvent-free, improving safety for both workers and users, while being easier to handle and remove—without compromising performance.
• Responsible Packaging: Pomoca has also reduced the environmental impact of its packaging, using recycled materials and minimizing waste across its supply chain.
• Made in Switzerland: By keeping production local, Pomoca reduces transport emissions and maintains control over environmental standards and quality assurance.

• Employee Health and Safety: As a Swiss manufacturer, Pomoca complies with strict European labor and environmental standards, including safe working conditions and chemical management
• Education and Transparency: Pomoca is transparent about its materials and processes, and shares its knowledge with the broader ski community to push for higher sustainability standards in the backcountry industry.

At Outside Sports, we choose Pomoca because their skins are not only exceptionally high-performance, but also at the forefront of eco-conscious innovation in the ski industry. Their leadership in eliminating harmful chemicals and commitment to local production aligns perfectly with our environmental values and our mission to support gear that respects the mountains we love.
