Gold Standard

The Switchback for me remains the gold standard in neutral telemark bindings for those of us who like to go low. Reasonably lightweight and durable. As long as Voile keeps making them, I'll keep buying them.

Quality materials and a simple design makes the Switchback well worth the investment if you are a backcountry tourer. The free pivot design is nearly fool proof and for me the softer cartridges are just right. Switching from ski to tour mode is simple. Thanks Voile for continuing to produce quality Tele bindings

Solid and old school

I took a weird direction with tele --- started out downhill, went to AT then NTN and now 75mm. I skied these a bunch last season, both on a pair of metal edge Fischer S Bounds and some Black Crowes. They're nice on each. I was just out on the S Bounds yesterday and marveled at how much control I had versus NNN BC even with the leather Alpina boots I've been using. Still searching for the perfect setup, but I'm starting to suspect these are part of it...

Thank you, Voile, for still producing fine telemark bindings! I have ridden many bindings in my years of telemarking, and I'm a Switchback fan!
The Switchback gives me the confidence to ski worry-free and to go as far as I want. I appreciate it's simplicity and durability. Keep on keeping it real Voile!

The last Tele binding
Doug

I've generally given up on telemark. Alpine is so easy! And has such a great calibrated release system. Like a sheep, I go with freeride downhill gear at the resort. Tele on hardpack is kinda uninspiring anyhow.
And tech bindings have that nice combo of light weight, free pivot, easy skiing, and calibrated safety release, so a favorite for high angle more consequential backcountry skiing.
However these Switchbacks along with fishscale base Vector BC skis have a place. The set up to use for lower angled backcountry trips, mixed terrain, and for complex exits from a peak. You get great maneuverability, up, down and around, and strong tele turns to cut through deep and heavy snows. The Switchbacks are reasonably light, nearly foolproof free pivot for easy trail breaking, and long lasting. I can't think of a better choice for the purpose.
