Words: The Jaded Local
I bought these for $60 and a sixer 10 odd years ago.
Since then, I have skied several hundred days on them without a single release, pre or otherwise.
Which has been awesome except for that time I blew my knee in 2008.
I think this pair was made in ’87 or so.
All steel, 11-17 DIN, AFDs worn away long ago?not exactly the formula for knee health.
Locked, loaded, and safety most definitely off.
Durability,for one.
Steel Salomons of any vintage are, for all intents and purposes, immortal.
Of course, all-metal bindings weigh a ton.
Which doesn’t lend itself to a lot of impromptu daffies.
All that said, kindly don’t take any of this as a recommendation.
And you’re broke.
