Holiday Gift Guide Atk Haute Route 10 Plus Series [XD9WM18S]

The Haute Route 10 Plus offers a top-of-the-range binding that focuses on uphill lightness while still offering more downhill-oriented features than a race binding. Whether you're new to touring or a skimo junkie looking for a light setup to ski several laps, this binding offers extreme uphill lightness at only 216 grams while also including Plus features that keep up in the downhill.

Despite not having a brake, this binding includes multiple heel risers and fully adjustable release and sole length, offering one of the most comfortable bindings for ascents thanks to the double magneto heel flaps. It is the lightest binding with ATK's patented Cam Release System, which makes step-in seamless while maintaining a reliable vertical release. Also featured is the Speed Toe piece, redesigned for improved downhill performance and ease of use thanks to the Snowpack Proof system and a more ergonomic front lever.

The Haute Route 10 Plus is the perfect lightweight binding if you're more focused on uphill but still want to be reassurance on the performance of a binding that can support your downhill missions.
