AT Bindings

Tech bindings hold the boot with pins at the toe and heel. The heel is free on the climb, so there is no binding weight to lift with each stride, which makes them the lightest and most efficient choice for regular touring.

Hybrid bindings pair a tech toe for climbing with an alpine-style heel for the descent, giving a downhill feel closest to a resort binding. Frame bindings work with alpine boots but lift with every step, so they suit short sidecountry laps.

Look at release value range, brakes or leashes, length adjustment and boot compatibility. Brakes come in widths matched to your ski waist.

Frequently asked questions

Which type of touring binding is right for me?

If you tour often and value climbing efficiency, a tech binding is the sweet spot. If you split time between the resort and the backcountry on one setup, a freeride tech or hybrid binding is a strong choice.

Do I need brakes on my touring bindings?

Brakes stop a loose ski, and leashes keep it attached to you. Lighter setups often use leashes, while skiers who use their touring setup at the resort usually prefer brakes.

Can I move my bindings between skis?

Yes. We can install inserts so one set of bindings moves between two pairs of skis.
