Taking the backcountry world by storm, ATK has become synonymous with class-leading bindings that are durable and performant. With its exceptional design and exquisite attention to detail, the Hy Free 13 binding promises to yet again be the binding that all others (in its category) aspire to be. Machined from solid aluminum, ALL structural parts (22 per half pair) are made with metal, ensuring these stand up to the hardest skiing, as proven by one of the world's best skiers, Nikolai Schirmer. With its emphasis on skiability, ATK designed the Hy Free to be virtually flat in ski mode, to the delight of many who enjoy flatter alpine bindings, such as the Look Pivot series.

Once atop your descent, transitioning between tour and ski mode is simple and intuitive, leaving behind the clunky operation and additional parts of other, lesser systems. To transition into ski mode, simply tilt the toe wings forward 90 degrees, push the heel lever back, and get ready to ski.

While there are many different hybrid bindings to choose from, with some even claiming to be royal, it is clear that all hybrid bindings must now bend the knee to the Hy Free 13 binding from ATK.

• 25mm BSL adjustment provides ample adjustment for your boot quiver.
• -18mm, +10mm, +34mm touring heights make short work of all potential skinning situations.
• Metal construction emphasizes durability, ensuring these stay around for the long term.
• 7mm of elastic travel smooths over rough terrain.
• Transitioning between ski and touring modes has been designed to be intuitive and simple.
• Vertical release in the heel and lateral release in the toe function similarly to an alpine binding.
