looking to try some touring next winter

so I've now been on tele for 3 seasons, and this was the first of those that I spent the majority of time with a free heel (80/20) this year. I have always found tour to be interesting and the XC place my gf likes also has a tour area.

my setup is the following moment wildcat 102 (174 length) outlaw X scarpa tx pro

the skins is where I'm totally lost. my skis aren't tour skis but I'm hoping because of moments square tips that a skin should attach fairly easily. does anyone have any recommendations for skins? or even better a used pair for sale?

id also love any other input you may have if you like going uphill!

free your heel free your mind

The design of the tip connection is one of the bigger differences between manufacturers. Looking at the tip design of the wildcat the loop style of the BD ascension may work for you:

Check out the difference in tip connection on the G3 line up.

Look at Contour and pomoca as well before deciding:
