Voile Hardwire 3 Pin Telemark Binding

Item #VOL0054 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Still the best backcountry binding.

By Ranked #183 - Telemark Skiing April 29, 2003

While the three-pin cable binding may seem like an anachronism, it has a few advantages that the latest fashion bindings can’t match. First, my skis stay on without the cables. I climb for my turns, so I appreciate the lack of heel-lifting resistance every time I take a step. (Just don’t tell your friends – they’ll want you to break trail all the time.) I also like the redundancy – I don’t have to worry about spare part kits and field repairs. Second, this binding can be mounted on a wedge – which reduces the problems associated with the stiff plastic boots we all love.
