The Ski Trab Gara Titan Binding is a revolutionary lightweight binding designed for competitive skiers, featuring a patented toe piece that enhances performance while minimizing weight. With its innovative design and reliable release mechanism, this binding is perfect for those seeking speed and efficiency in alpine racing. 1. Weighs only 66g (2.3 oz) with both locked and ski modes, making it one of the lightest bindings available. 2. Patented toe piece design eliminates coiled springs, reducing the risk of pre-release due to ice build-up. 3. Ultra-reliable titanium wire-spring release mechanism ensures consistent performance in various conditions. 4. Heel piece includes a pin-cover flap for basic skinning and rotates to a flat-on-ski position for versatility. 5. Toe pins feature grooves that effectively clear boot inserts of ice and dirt during rotation. 6. Removable crampon attachments (+4g) are compatible with all Dynafit-style ski crampons for added traction. 7. Leash loops (+2g) provide convenient attachment points for safety and ease of use. The Ski Trab Gara Titan Binding is ideal for competitive alpine skiers and ski mountaineers who prioritize weight savings without sacrificing performance. It excels in race conditions and technical environments, making it perfect for high-speed descents and challenging ascents. Best suited for advanced to expert skiers, this binding performs exceptionally well in winter conditions, particularly during races and backcountry adventures.

Meg Cooke's review

I love ski trab bindings for their "opposite" pin entry. You have to open the jaw to step in, so the default position is locked springs. An additional click up completely locks the boot in. I've never unexpectedly popped out of this binding, and with the spring options, it has the weight of a racey binding without the scary high release value of a full race binding.
