SKU: 1130-55-T Voile STS Tour Binding - Toes

I made a lot of specs comparisons before buying a toe binding, and I’m so pleased with my STS! I am 5’0” and I was really concerned other bindings would bump up into my pucks. This is not an issue at all with the STS which gives me freedom to adjust my stance! It’s lightweight, minimalist, and stands the test many days in the San Juans. Once you’ve locked in the pin, you’re good to go!

Title says it all. These puppies are light and work well!

Having used the Spark/Phantom tech toe for several seasons I was interested to give the Voile hard boot specific toe piece a try. I used these bindings with the 1st gen Atomic Backland boot and the fit is great with no issues or friction in the system. Compared to the other split tech toe on the market the STS Tour is the lighter by about 15% (250g vs 296g per pair) but it's simple and durable design has yet to fail me. I also appreciate that these bindings feature a notch in the pins to clear snow/ice buildup. Operating these with a ski pole takes some skill but can be done. The springless design has been less prone to difficulty locking in during icy or wet snow conditions. I ski the split a lot found the ability to navigate and control the boards while splitskiing feels about same using both these and the spark/phantom bindings.

Recently switched from using the Phantom/Spark tech toes, and these work great. They are lightweight and simple in their design. Stepping in take a few tries to figure out the technique, but it's pretty quick and easy once you get it. One HUGE advantage these have over other tech toes is that they take up much less space between the toe and front binding inserts. There is no interference with the front bindings like there can be with other tech toes on boards with tight spacing, and I'm no longer limited in what splitboards I choose.

I went with these as a replacement for my Phantom Tech Toes (same as Spark Tech Toes) as these allow me to adjust my binding stance to a narrower stance. Phantom Tech Toes work well, but they are long in relation to the Voile STS Tour Binding. The Voile allow me to bring my front splitboard binding back further, so that I can have a more narrow stance between front and rear splitboard bindings. I have had these out for one shake-down tour up and they worked well. Using them for the first time, I found it a little difficult to get in to them, but with practice I think this will not be an issue. The Phantoms/Sparks open wide to allow an easy entry. Voile take some finesse.
