Product Info
Interested in G3's fine offering of tech bindings, but would rather use something with a bit lighter retention setting? Enter the new G3 Zed 9 Alpine Touring Bindings. The Zed 9 retains all the great features that make the Zed 12 and Ion series so appealing, including the spring-loaded zero gap heel, great retention in ski mode, easy clearing toe arms, and low binding ramp angle - but substitutes the aluminum toe for carbon fiber reinforced nylon, and drops the weight to 345 grams in the process. You can still clear snow from under the toe arms with a ski pole tip, and a Pozidrive #3 screwdriver adjusts both release value and fore/aft position. Easy peasy!

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.
