A further evolution of the worthy Fritschi Vipec 12, the Black Diamond Vipec Evo 12 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings retain all of the performance of the former, and believe it or not, drop weight. How's that for progress? Using a pre-defined toe release in walk mode and micro-adjustable wing width (in case your tech toe fittings are narrower or wider than standard), the Vipec Evo features improved step-in ease along with the proven lateral toe release. Three levels of climbing risers and three widths of brakes give you, well, choices. The Vipec Evo 12: further evidence that the Swiss preoccupation with safety is equaled only by their love of skiing.
