It's here. Finally there's a tech binding that lets you rip the BC like you mean it. The Plum Guide S Ski Bindings are precision-CNC'd pieces of art that also attach your skis securely to your tech-compatible ski boots for both skinning and skiing. Plum bindings are made by Felisaz, a small French CNC firm near Chamonix that manufactures specialty aerospace parts. A member of a local ski club approached them with a plan to build a high quality tech binding just as Dynafit's patent on the tech system was expiring, and Plum was born. These bindings feature a super positive spring action at both toe and heel, adjustable release values from 5.5 to 12, a one-piece alloy heel plate design, and weigh a feathery 342 grams for one toe and one heelpiece, including screws. The Guide S is identical to the Plum Guide binding but without the high climbing post attached to the heel top plate.
