The Salomon Guardian 16 Large Ski Bindings have been delivering bomber performance to the most badass backcountry enthusiasts for a few years now, and their rep hasn't been diminished by time. The addition of a sliding AFD (anti-friction device) last season means they're Multi-Norm Compatible (MNC) so you can use any boot that comforms to ISO 9523 standards (Alpine Touring) as well as alpine ISO 5355 and WTR (Walk To Ride) boot soles. How rad is that? Ski the Guardian 16 with the same absolute confidence you have in Salomon alpine bindings (the heel is the same as the STH2) and enjoy the convenience of Salomon's ski pole accessible Hike & Ride Switch - no more taking off your skis to go into or out of touring mode, Hallelujah! Drop some cliffs and take the road less traveled this season with the Salomon Guardian 16 Large Ski Bindings.
