The Padlock project started almost two years ago. The direction of the project was to develop a binding with similar functionality as our Deadbolt but with a little lighter hardware and a DIN range that could accommodate our lighter riders. The Padlock was designed with the junior skier in mind but tested well enough for even our adult team rider's needs. Packed tight with an Acetyl plastic chassis, the toe piece offers great strength and elasticity in all release functions.
