Voile Hardwire 3-Pin CRB Telemark Binding customer reviews:
good bindings
I'm new to telemarking, so take this for what it's worth... The bindings were easy to install on my K2's once I had the proper Voile fasteners. I would have preferred that they had been included, as I didn't know I needed them until after the bindings arrived. They have worked well on the slopes. The three pin interface is a little tricky to engage. The release mechanism works, and I have not had any un-desired releases. Re-engaging the release plate was a little challenging on the hill. I found that the release settings in the instructions were too conservative for me... at first, they wouldn't release when I wished that they would. After backing off some more, I've found a good balance.
cheap alternative to switchback
If you want uphill performance like that of a free pivot binding, but don't want to break the bank, I recommend the 3 pin Hardwire binding from Voile. Made in SLC, UT, by competent, ski loving dudes who test and push their stuff to the limits. The Hardwires don't offer the performance of a Hammerhead, or NTN, they are lighter weight and in my opinion, better than G3's, or BD's. Voile is a great company and makes a solid binding. For the typical telemark skier, these are a great option. Folks who want to save themselves from potentially serious injuries due to non-releasable bindings, can rest assured that the CRB's will eject on gnarly falls, but not on gnarly lines. These are a good all around binding for typical telemarking. Some of the best tele skiers I know use these and nothing else. I'm reliant on equipment too much, and like my Hammerheads, but for low angle skiing, I like these a lot. Great for lighter weight skis and boots, but okay on fatter, not so heavy skis.
Hardwire 3-Pin CRB on Rossignol BC90????
Anyone has an opinion to share on this prospective set-up? I would pair this with either a SCARPA T3 or Garmont Excursion boots. I was brought up on Alpine skiing (Intermediate skier) and have done lots of XC Ski in tracks. I'm new to free-heel skiing. Any comment or suggestion(s) would be greatly appreciated.
Fabulous for ski touring and more
I use these on my light weight tele setup, and they are the bomb! Disengage the cable for hut style ski touring or skinning up a slope, and use the cables for control on the descent. The release function works really well. Once I got it set up properly, it hasn't released except for when I want it to.
Many years of experience
I have used this binding for over 15 years for lift-serviced tele-skiing. The new version has a much nicer spring setup. I have had lost of great runs on this setup and it has saved my butt a few times. The pins help reduce wear on the boot too.
