The G3 Zed 12 Binding is a lightweight clamp that has many advanced features for a binding in this weight category.  Tipping the scales at a very respectable at 446 grams per binding, the Zed 12 has many attributes of heavier full-service bindings with a weight THAT approaches that of the ultra-light category.  For touring performance, the heel risers are among the best in the business and the bindings design allows for minimum ice and snow build up.  With a release range of 5-12, and 8.5-millimeter range of forward pressure for consistent release, it will appeal to wide range of advanced skiers. The heel turret can be turned in either direction for touring, and as long as you can reach your skins, the binding allows you to take your skins off without taking your skis off for faster transitions. And once you are ready to descend, the Zed 12 gives you ample power and precision from the boot to the binding, to the ski for seamless turning capability.  Optional brakes and crampons can be purchased separately.  For long-term reliability of release, touring transitions and ease of use, the G3 Zed 12 is one of the best options out there.
