I\u2019m here to share a bit of the origin story behind the Voile Strap, one of our earliest products from the 1980s. It all started with the <strong>Voile Snake Skin<\/strong>, a polyurethane climbing skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/voile-straps.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/banner-voilestraps-1024x158.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/banner-voilestraps-1024x158.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/banner-voilestraps-300x46.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/banner-voilestraps-768x119.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/banner-voilestraps-1536x237.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/banner-voilestraps-100x15.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/banner-voilestraps-1489x230.jpg 1489w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/banner-voilestraps.jpg 1598w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">The Snake Skin Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Snake Skin was made from a polyurethane belting material, into which we cut small slits. When stretched, these slits would open up into fins or teeth, allowing the skin to grip and climb effectively. To secure the Snake Skin to a ski, we radio-frequency welded a strap directly onto the skin material. This strap (the precursor to the Voile Strap) held the skin firmly in place by stretching it over the ski, which activated the fins for climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Snake Skins were excellent climbers, they had some limitations\u2014they didn\u2019t glide at all. Additionally, because they didn\u2019t use adhesive, you had to tightly crank the Voile Strap around the ski to keep the skin securely in place. Despite this, the polyurethane material was incredibly durable and absorbed no water, making it a reliable option at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">a.eg-henryharrison-element-1,a.eg-henryharrison-element-2{-webkit-transition:all .4s linear;

class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">The Evolution of the Voile Strap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early \u201990s, I personally used Snake Skins quite a lot. At the time, there weren\u2019t many adhesive skin options, so they filled a niche. But it wasn\u2019t just about Snake Skins\u2014this product marked the birth of the Voile Strap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Voile Strap gained popularity when it was adapted for other uses, including as a toe strap on the original Merrill Super Comp ski boots. From there, ski shops began discovering the strap\u2019s versatility, especially as a reliable ski strap. This led to the introduction of our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/co-branded-straps.html\">custom logo program<\/a><\/strong>, which helped the Voile Strap take off as a multipurpose tool for all kinds of applications.<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">a.eg-henryharrison-element-1,a.eg-henryharrison-element-2{-webkit-transition:all .4s linear;

class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">The Voile Strap Comes Full Circle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to today, and the Voile Strap has come full circle. It\u2019s now back on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/voile-climbing-skins.html\">Voile Hyperglide Skins<\/a>, where it\u2019s used to improve the functionality and durability of our ski skins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve innovated further, creating a riveted plate to attach the skin material, alongside an adjustable clip made from the same durable material as the Voile Strap. This clip allows users to fine-tune the tension of the skin on their ski. The same design principles have also been applied to our splitboard skins, which feature an adjustable aluminum tail clip for proper tensioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"9025\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-ski-climbing-skin-wtih-voile-tail-clip-main-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-ski-climbing-skin-wtih-voile-tail-clip-main-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-ski-climbing-skin-wtih-voile-tail-clip-main-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-ski-climbing-skin-wtih-voile-tail-clip-main-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-ski-climbing-skin-wtih-voile-tail-clip-main-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-ski-climbing-skin-wtih-voile-tail-clip-main-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-ski-climbing-skin-wtih-voile-tail-clip-main-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-ski-climbing-skin-wtih-voile-tail-clip-main-1-1489x1489.jpg 1489w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-ski-climbing-skin-wtih-voile-tail-clip-main-1-1920x1920.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-ski-climbing-skin-wtih-voile-tail-clip-main-1-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-ski-climbing-skin-wtih-voile-tail-clip-main-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/voile-climbing-skins.html\">Hyper Glide Ski Climbing Skins<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"9026\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-splitboard-climbing-skin-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-splitboard-climbing-skin-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-splitboard-climbing-skin-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-splitboard-climbing-skin-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-splitboard-climbing-skin-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-splitboard-climbing-skin-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-splitboard-climbing-skin-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-splitboard-climbing-skin-1489x1490.jpg 1489w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-splitboard-climbing-skin-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hyper-glide-splitboard-climbing-skin.jpg 1768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/voile-climbing-skins.html\">Hyper Glide Splitboard Climbing Skins<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">A Durable Legacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From the Snake Skin to the Hyperglide Skin, the Voil\u00e9 Strap has made its way back onto our ski skins.
