The ones I have seem more durable. But I don' thave the thinnest skin out on the market. The V-looped method can shed I heard. I haven't had much of an issue with it, but just keep that in mind it might shed more than usual. The system I had with tiny knots on skin didn't shed at all.. it was quite durable.

One good thing about skin, if you can get it right, or if it matches ur skin tone.. more accurately has a translucent quality, it can look very good. With lace you have to worry about different lighting conditions and angles to see a grid type pattern, with skin u don't have to worry about these patterns showing. The biggest thing with skin is that line at the front.. but for me it wasn't really a problem. Sometimes I think the skin can be even more invisible than lace when it really blends into ur skin tones. I think the most translucent the skin gets the better..
