Hey FJordy.. welcome aboard!!
Hope you don't mind I moved this to Splitboard gear section.. It's a really good question actually!!

The brand I don;t think makes a huge difference, but I am very partial to G3's as I have used them for several years. No matter WHAT you decide to get, make sure you have tail clips on them, although I am not sure how to set that up on a swallow honestly.
Tail clips are imperative on any skins. It will make the difference between having a pain-in-the-ass-day or a sick day of riding!!

As for the decision fo type of fiber.. I personally don;t see a huge difference. I think the G3's are great as they dry pretty fast too. I have not used mohair before (one of the skiers on here may have more insite on that).

Also, PM me with your address and I'll sedn ya out a sticker!!
 
I'm on the Backcountry Skins. Can't rate them enough, super grippy on Austrian Ice and dry rapido! Stored ours with the plastic they came with but got some 'Skin Savers' now, just I have to buy things.

Larry, you got any storms coming your way yet? It's green over here apart from very high altitude. Looks like it's cooling down this weekend with some precip, so going to be a very interesting base again this season!!
