G3’s well-received Ion tech binding welcomes a little brother for 2015-16. The G3 Ion LT Ski Binding is meant for weight-conscious backcountry fanatics. Its brakeless construction (a removable leash is included) and slim build contribute to a minuscule bulk of 456 grams per binding. A guiding step-in system promotes ease of use, and a wide 40-mm mounting position and 5-12 release values yield high performance on the descent.
