Atomic Backland Tour Binding
Description
KISS- Keep it simple, skiers with the Atomic Backland binding providing you the ease and strength for all your missions. Atomic/Salomon have been testing their tech binding with team athletes for a couple of years and have nailed it with this rendition. The Backland Tour is a fully functional, almost pure aluminum tech binding coming in at less than 300 grams without the brake. They managed to do this without compromising on downhill performance, as the wider mounting pattern maximizes power transmission for aggressive skiing while also strengthening retention.
The toe piece includes a fool proof metal step-in guide, leash loop, and standard tech/Dynafit style crampon acceptor. The heel unit provides an impressive 30 mm BSL adjustment with three different climbing positions for varying pitches of the skin track. Three levels of release adjustability allow you to easily swap our the heel U spring to increase or decrease retention, roughly correlating to standard 6, 8 and 11 release values. The brake is an add-on and must be mounted with the heel unit while remaining easily removable if you change your mind and want to go brave and brakeless. This is a bomber, highly functional, and lightweight ski touring and mountaineering binding that has found it's way on to many of our personal setups!
