What's the difference between the hybrid mix and the pure? I know the hybrid has a mixture of mohair and nylon while the pure is solely mohair but I was wondering how this difference translates to performance.

Also, would their clips work with bent chetler 120 tips?

I have some BD Nylon and G3 hybrid skins, and the general rule is that nylon will get you good durability and traction, and mohair will help with glide.

Their tip hardware should work just fine on the BC 120, and yeah, the only differences I've noticed are that the pure version glides a bit faster, doesn't grip quite as much, and isn't quite as durable. I like both skins a lot and personally prefer the Hybrid cause I place a slightly higher priority on durability and grip than I do max glide. And the Hybrid glue is fantastic, at least in my experience — super easy to rip, but still stays put on the skis when I want it to.
