Brought back from the dead a few years ago, the tried and true Pivots are still going strong. If it ain"t broke, don"t fix it is the mentality here. The Pivots have been the heavy duty binding of choice for racers, big mountain skiers and park rats alike both for its safety and more importantly, its durability. The all-metal reinforced housing allows for it to take a beating year after year. The high elastic travel in both the heel and the toe prevent from the dreaded pre-release, so you can trust your bindings 100% of the time. The world famous turntable heel provides a 180 degree, more natural release which is in most cases much easier on your legs. If you are looking for a heavy duty binding that will last for the next decade (maybe longer), this should be your top choice.
