Thumbnail Filmstrip of Voile Hardwire 3-Pin Telemark Bindings Images
SOLD AS A PAIR
The Hardware 3-Pin’s toe piece accepts any telemark boot with a standard 75mm duckbill. Unlike the “rat trap” bindings of yesteryear, the binding’s bail is a tempered, embossed, steel plate that locks down in any of three levels to accommodate varying boot sole thicknesses. The binding’s toe box is built of 6061-T6 aluminum and mounts to a 20mm nylon riser that ramps slightly upward to accommodate the rocker of many telemark boots.
The thing that really curls toes is the addition of our own brainchild, the Hardwire, a “non-cable” rod-and-cartridge-spring assembly that provides amazing torsional rigidity when making turns. This technology burst on the scene in 2002 in the form of the Voilé Hardwire Binding and has become a hallmark of Voilé’s modern tele bindings.
These days, cartridge springs are commonplace in the telemark binding category, but what still sets our Hardwire design apart is the accompanying use of threaded steel rods and heel assemblies rather than braided cable at each end of the cartridge. This eliminates the need for any sort of crimping weirdness or other gizmos that would otherwise be necessary to complete a toe-to-heel loop.
In the case of the Hardwire 3-Pin binding, the entire Hardwire assembly easily detaches from the toe piece to provide the utmost in touring and climbing efficiency, as well as a Plan B for getting you home in the unlikely event that the mechanism suffers trauma or is lost. And speaking of upward travel, the Hardwire 3-Pin features the same heel pad and dual-height climbing elevators as the Switchback and X2.
So whether you’re dropping into the Nordic curtsy, cranking parallel turns, or kicking and gliding, the Voilé Hardwire 3-Pin is as versatile as it gets.
Sold as a pair.

Mount these on any pair of Voile BC (fish scale) skis, and some light weight tele boots, and you have the best killer set up for backcountry touring and rolling terrain.

The ice blue color matches my skis and entire kit. That's not the only reason why I ski these bindings. They are perfect for all mountain exploration. Going up? Perfect. A long traverse? Got that covered. Tele turn? Drop that knee as low as you could. Parallel Turns? Go for it! Snowplow? No problem.

This is by far the best 75 mm binding I have ever used. The performance, durability and price is unmatched. This is the only telemark binding I have ever used where I have experienced zero failures. These bindings have held up in the bumps and the trees for almost 20 years. I have abused and skied these bindings hard, and they have delivered every day. Voile’s customer service is first class as well. I will be sad when the day comes that I no longer have boots to use with these bindings
