Salomon Men's S/Lab Shift MNC 13 B110 Ski Bindings, DIN Range 6-13

I've been using the shifts bindings since day one (first day they came out). In my experience they are faultless, the best solutions out there for any skiing, any conditions, touring / sidecountry / resort. Get you up with "ease" without too much weight, and they will take you down charging, cruising, however you want to ski it. I needed something that I could trust everyday, and those are my go-to.

Best thing I can say about any binding and it certainly applies here: I don't think about my bindings when I'm touring on QST 98s with these. Super functional both up and down - I couldn't be happier.

When ski'ing down resort or off-piste steeps, You have to rely on the equipmets. When climbing with skins, You are not in a hurry. So, I think Shift 13, focusing on downhill, is just right! Btw, What position should the bindings levers be, while having them in the garage out of season?

I have used these on close two two dozen up hill trips since April, amazing!! Easy on, easy off, great feel, and no doubts about staying out!! My Dyn is about 10.5, so these were the right choice for me!

Both my partner and I bought Salomon Shift bindings pre pandemic and neither of us have had any mechanical issues (minus figuring out having to lift the toe tab to lock into walk mode, but that was user error, and a small amount of condensation builds up in the toe DIN window which hasn't caused any issues yet). I'm hopeful the quality on recent stock is still good as I'm ordering another pair for my new skis (reading about the prerelease issues now concerns me). Averaging at least 40+ days a season with focus in glades, bumps, and hard charging groomers these babies haven't let me down. I love the options of the black or blue color (blue is my fav).

They do it all, and they do it all really well. If you are looking for Touring / Slackcountry / Resort bindings that gives you all the safety release a regular Alpine binding gives you, and Touring Capabilities, this is the one.

I have these bindings on two different pairs of skis and both have been really solid for me. I've toured both and didn't have any issues with early brake releases or issues with transitioning from skin to ski mode. I'm a novice skier, beginner tourer so my touring has been all low angle if that makes any difference. What I've liked about these bindings is that I have the downhill stability and confidence for touring. So far these have been performing very well as designed.

First pair of AT bindings, they ski wonderful and are easy to switch from AT to Alpine!
