Ski Trab Leashes
A little bit of skinning and walking doesn’t scare most backcountry skiers, but dropping a ski from up high can really put a damper on a day. Not every ski partner is willing to tackle a ski like a football player, so it’s best to either hold on really tight or instead install a leash. The Ski Trab Leash is a simple gizmo made of coiled steel coated in rubber to keep durability up and excess cordage down. The small accessory loop can be girth hitched to your boot and the leash itself loops through your binding somewhere to create a clean ski-retention solution. Clip into a Ski Trab Leash and become more carefree. Weighs 23g each. Sold in pairs.

Hello, I have these leashes girth hitched through my ski trab titan vario 2s, and my old skimo boots had d rings for the carabiner, but I recently replaced the boots with Dynafit ridge pros. Where should I attach the leash? I have a little metal wire loop that came with them as well but I don't want to just girth hitch that somewhere because it may fall off.

Eric- I think I would try to clip the leash to the ankle strap. That seems like the best point for attachment.
Answer this question:
Bought these then returned because the carabiner part was much clunkier, thicker, and heavier than expected. May work for some, I was expecting something more like the ATK Kevlar leashes.

Have bought two of these leashes. The first set lives on my dynafit Denalis and is still holding my skis to me without issue. The other set I bought for my daily drivers, and the clip for the boot popped off after ~10 days of usage. Looks like the cable swage failed. Want to belive this is a one off issue with my pair in particular, as I adore all the other trab stuff I have.

I second this review. My ski trab leash broke in the same spot with very little force.

Are these breakaway leashes? What is the breaking strength?

Since these are out of stock, what are the best alternatives for the titan Vario 2 binding?

Hi DK! Any other leash will work well. I personally have used Dynafit leashes with the Vario without a hiccup. Thanks!

What/where is the best way to install these on a pair of Ski Trab Gara Titan Bindings and dynafit black light boots?

Nick,
The Gara Titans come with optional leash loops, so attach the leashes to those. To attach them to the boot, it's probably easiest to hook them to the wire that attaches the cuff buckle strap on the insides of the boot.

Hi, I'm looking at getting these leashes for my Marker Alpinist. It seems like people like the plum and B&D leashes but I was looking for something a bit shorter and not in the way. Would something like these paired with another metal wire loop (not exactly sure what they're called) work? Are there other shorter leashes that have the loop to attach to the toe piece made from soft material?

Thanks for reaching out, Rio. For what you're after, these would work well. There aren't many shorter leashes that have a pliable chord (like the plum), however, many folks use paracord to help find an ideal placement on the boot or binding.

Hi there,
What would you recommend for a lightweight leash option for a Ski Trab Titan vario.2 and Alien RS binding/boot combo?
Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for your question, Scott. If you're after a leash that doesn't have a lot of excess slack, this is a great choice. If you want something a bit longer, the Plum Leashes would be worth checking out. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Answer this question:
They keep your skis on a short leash. Comforting to know in hard conditions your skis will stay nearby instead of having a mind of their own!

Got these leashes this season and have been thankful to have them when my skis popped off (no bye-bye skis for me). They are super easy to use, they also clip back onto themselves nicely when I choose not to use them (and aren't annoying and floppy). They are a permanent installation on my ski setup. I simply chose these leashes over others because I have Ski Trab bindings.
