NX 12 Ski Binding

Look's had a reputation for reliable release and retention for years, and the NX 12 Alpine Ski Binding isn't going to do anything to change that. It's not the biggest, heaviest, or burliest binding out there, with a maximum DIN setting of 12 and a fully plastic housing, but it's lightweight, durable, and easy to use, at a price that won't make your eyes water. The Full Drive toepiece and NX heelpiece deliver easy step-in and solid retention, with enough travel that you don't have to crank your DIN up to scary settings to avoid unexpected release. With a brake width of 100mm, it'll fit most all-mountain skis, giving intermediate skiers a perfect platform to take their skiing to the next level.
