Salomon Guardian WTR 13 2014 Back Country Ski Bindings
Salomons proven freeride performance, combined with convenient Hike & Ride Technology. TECHNOLOGIES Norms: Adult Norms Brake: Freeski Brake - Self retracting brakes: adapted to modern skis and practices, eliminates hang ups on switch landings. Pedal: XL Stomp pedal (65) - A fixed, wide pedal ensures the best transmission from skier to ski. Transmission: High Lateral Transmission - More precision, more control to reach a new level of performance Wing Adjustment: Automatic Wing Adjustment - No handling but automatic adjustment just by step-in. You can forget but neverless trust your binding! Wing Adjustment: High Adjustment SPECIFIC FEATURES Hike & Ride Switch: The Guardian 13s Hike and Ride switch enables you to switch quickly from Hike to Ride mode without stepping out of the
binding. Located at the back of the binding, is easily engaged with a backward push of the ski pole without removing your skis. Faster and more convenient, the Guardian 16s Hike and Ride switch is the best solution for accessing the backcountry yet. Low Profile Chassis: The Guardian 13s Low Profile Chassis has a lower overall stand height (26mm) for greater stability and enhanced terrain feedback. Oversized Platform: The Guardian 13s Oversized Platform provides maximum power transmission and responsiveness for faster turns with more precision. Walk To Ride Sole Compatibility: Makes walking easier with no compromise on safety and performance, due to the TÜV approved walk sole compatibility. SPECIFICATIONS Weight: 2921g (Half pair 1460g) Din scale: 5-13 Height in mm: 26 Skier weight
(kg): 50 - 125 Skier weight (lbs): 110 - 275 Adjustment range (mm): 55 After 7 years in the making the Guardian has finally arrived and I was really looking forward to using a pair. And I have to say the last place I was expecting to skin up on them was in the fridge at Hemel Hempstead indoor slope!! First off the binding looks just like an alpine binding, this filled me with confidence when thinking of the downhill performance. With a chunky adjustable toe piece, so that you can use a “touring sole”, and the usual styling from the Salomon heel really makes this binding look the business. The binding also sits much lower on the ski than most of its competitors and it has a nice wide 80mm footprint on the toe so you will get a much more direct response from the set-up. Stepping
into the binding and using it as a normal alpine binding you would be hard pressed to tell that you were using a touring/freeride binding as it skis like a solid performing alpine binding, with stunning control and power transmission. But for me this ski binding’s party piece, which sets it apart from its competitors, is the fact that you can fully operate the binding’s functions without taking your ski off. It is a simple case stabbing your pole on a large hike & ride switch at the rear of the binding which releases the heel piece, then flipping over the hike bar to the desired position and you are good to hike. To switch back into ride mode, just flip the hike bar back to its original position and step down until you hear the “CLACK”, then you are ready to shred!! All in
all I was extremely impressed with how this binding performed on both the down
