You've joined the splitboard revolution, and stacked up one heck of a touring setup right down to the Karakoram Bindings. But as soon as you start up that dicey sidehill, you lose all lateral support. No wonder you see all those guys rocking old TLT5 hardboots. Instead of turning to the world of hard-boot hell, snag this handy little Karakoram Flex Lock. Simply flick the ratchet down on the way up for lateral support, then release it as you arc, jib, and poke your way down whichever face you've just bagged.
