. ski equipment review : VIST - the best ski bindings in the world ! - 23 March 2010 - 22:55
collection 2009/2010
VIST bindings are based on a design that is totally modern. The multi-function toe piece uses two springs so that the duties of lateral release and elasticity are separate from upward release, increasing the range of safety. A unique feature is the Advanced Pin Technology that allow quick and accurate movement of the bindings on the ski for the ultimate in custom boot placement. The pins are machined to close tolerances so the bindings have no wobble when locked down. The Free Series has one more customizable feature not found elsewhere — plastic toe piece housing covers are available in about a dozen bright colors that can be chosen when the binding is purchased. Ski brake size must also be specified.

It doesn’t look like a big deal but one of the best accessories to come along is the VIST boot scraper that can be affixed to the ski between the bindings. It’s a simple metal-toothed scraper that is one of the best safety features for any binding.
