I had the chance to meet the owner in person; he gave me a Ski Hugger 2.0 to try out. I've used it several times now while waxing and tuning our family's skis, and it's become one of those tools I can't live without. It's quick to put on, stays in place, and feels really durable. Even my kids can use it when learning how to work on their skis.
I love the SkiHugger product! It works so much more efficiently than rubber bands and I realize I am more relaxed, knowing I won't get snapped in the face by a broken rubber band!
“As a mom of three boys who are constantly skiing, anything that makes our gear routine easier is a win. Ski Hugger has been a game-changer. No more messing with rubber bands or fighting with brakes. It’s simple, reusable, and just makes tuning faster so we can spend more time on the mountain.”
"Grabbed a Ski Hugger kind of on a whim at the ski shop and now it just lives in my tuning kit. Clips onto the brake arms, holds them up, done. I tune my skis and sometimes my buddy's so I was running through multiple rubber bands pretty regularly and having something that just works every single time is awesome. Feels durable too, not like it's gonna crack on you after one season. Honestly if you do your own tuning and you're still messing with rubber bands, just get one. It's one of those tiny upgrades you'll wonder why you waited on."
"Been tuning my own skis years and honestly never questioned the rubber band thing, it's just what you do, but then my friend showed up with a Ski Hugger and I gave it a shot. Clips on in like two seconds, holds the brakes up the whole time, pops right off when you're done. That's it. I tune three pairs pretty regularly throughout the season and it just makes the whole process cleaner. Waxing, scraping, edging, brakes are just out of the way and you forget about them. Grabbed the large and it fits my Marker Griffon bindings no problem. The clip is super solid, and feels like it could hold up for many years. I'm super excited something like this finally came out for at-home tuners"
Keeping the ski brakes out of the way of the sharpening tool is the most difficult thing to do; this Ski Hugger keeps the brakes out of the way and makes it much easier to tune your skis.
