22Designs Hammerhead 11/12

The unmatched power and versatility of the HammerHead is due to the adjustable underfoot cable routing, the large toepiece with long wings that contacts the full length of the duckbill, and the long smooth spring travel.

Adjustable cable guides allow the binding to be optimized for any skier's preference. A choice of five positions from neutral or active enables the Hammerhead to offer a range of boot retention from "3-pin" to "almost alpine". This binding offers heaps of control, a good choice with modern wider skis. The cable guides can be moved forward or removed for long uphill treks and popped back in for downhill performance in all snow conditions, even with lighter boots.
The HammerHead is built to stand up to today's hard skiing telemarkers. Ski it with confidence knowing that it won't leave you stranded in the backcountry; no repair kit required.
