Plum Karibou 12 Binding

While the Caribou in the great herds of the Arctic tundra are gentle, migratory herbivores, the Plum Karibou 12 binding is a predator on the mountain, wanting to attack every descent. The burliest binding that Plum manufactures, the Karibou is made for charging and freeriding with no holds barred. What sets it apart from the rest of Plum's lineup is the 8mm elastic response system in the toepiece, which allows the toe to slide forward as the ski is flexed. Combined with the 4mm heel gap and the Karibou 12 has a full 12mm of accommodation for ski compression. This is an important feature for free riders or aggressive skiers who push their gear to the max, as over-flexing the ski with traditional pin bindings can cause the heel gap to close, and without any elastic response, cause premature release or damage the heel piece. The Karibou 12 also includes a stomp pad that makes contact with the heel of your boot, facilitating better power transfer to the ski. The heel can be twisted in either direction to enter/exit tour mode and includes a flat mode with two flip risers that can be pole-operated making the ascent a breeze, even in beefier boots that may not walk as freely as others. Don’t be a migratory herbivore and get the Karibou binding from Plum.
