The Plum 170 binding is the 150 with a built-in 19mm adjustment plate. If you plan on using more than one boot with your setup, this is the version for you. The re-designed toe pieces feature smooth-operating lock levers that have clear stops for skiing and skinning. The heel piece has a simple pin-cover flap for uphill skinning and can be turned sideways for flat-on-ski skating (shuffling?). All pins are steel with the heels being very resistant to notching. The Plum Race series has become a standard-setter for reliable racing and adventuring.

  • Built-in adjustment plates let you shift +/-9.5mm, almost enough for 3 boot sizes.
  • Toe pieces have a lever that is comfortable to grab and smooth to lock/unlock.
  • Shortened heel-pedestal partially compensates for the adjustment plate thickness, keeping you closer to flat.
  • Heels can rotate sideways for flat mode, with the plates preventing a negative ramp angle when skinning.
  • Notch-resistant steel U-springs and a simple heel flap are robust and replaceable.
  • Optional heel risers can help with steep climbs, or be removed for a big race.
  • Optional crampon attachments (+9g) work extra-great with Plum crampons.
  • Meets ISMF specs for racing and many people’s specs for mountaineering.
  • 100% made in France.

Update 2017/18: Plum redesigned the toe lever to avoid unlocking problems with some boots.

Update 2018/19: All new toe piece, with material moved around to strengthen critical areas and streamline the rest.

Update 2022/23: Heel track now has 25mm of adjustment.

Hi tgg, they do not, but aren't terribly difficult to get into with most boots.

Question from Corey
 
After looking on Plum's website, it indicates these binding are not recommended for people over 90kg (198 lbs). Why is that? And what if I'm right at 200lbs without my gear or backpack on? What will my experience be like?

Hi Corey, it's mainly listed for legal reasons. If you're not hucking cliffs you'll be fine.
