Meaning you can use it for what it was designed for-you skiing confidently in ski mode without the fear of prerelease. The ZED defines the next evolution of high-performance touring bindings. G3’s unique toe jaw dynamics flip that trend, absorbing roughly 50% more energy than other tech bindings before releasing. Many backcountry skiers have adopted the practice of locking out while skiing as a hacked solution for retention inconsistency. Locking the toe while skiing defeats the release mechanism and puts you at risk.įor most tech bindings, energetic skiing in chattery conditions means unwanted pre-release - this is how the bad habit of skiing with locked out toe pieces was born. As the toe jaws on these bindings partially spread, the force required to release the binding drops drastically, causing unwanted release. Locking the toe is a tour function that eliminates unwanted release while skinning uphill.
