I have been using the 3 pin cable since it came out in the 1980s. The binding is light, sturdy and reliable. One can tour with it in the free flexing 3pin mode (either unbuckle the cables or take them off),or lock in the cables for the more secure and powerful downhill mode. Add to this a double attachment for increased reliability in the backcountry and a weight of only 12 oz per ski and you have the ideal backcountry binding. The 3 pin cable works well on all our skis and we especially highly recommend this for the K\u014dm ski.<\/p>\n

The cables come sized long. There is about 3+ sizes in adjustment to the cable \u00a0and they can be cut to fit the range of your boot size. If you let us know we can cut them for you, or you can cut them with either bolt cutters or a cutting wheel on an angle grinder.<\/p>\n
These also come with the screw and heel kit supplied by Voile (the manufacturer), so standard wood mounting screws.<\/p>\n
For use on the Hoks we recommend flipping the inside hook to the toe piece from the bottom up rather than from the top down(standard). this is because \u00a0the Hok’s width makes it really hard to unhook the cable if both sides are hooked from the top down<\/p>\n
