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. We highly recommend this for the Kōm ski.
If you plan to use the 3 pin cable on the Hoks please specify in the note section of your order and we will substitute the heel kit with the appropriate M6 screws for the inserts.

I've been involved with the "XCD"/BC ski scene for 45 years and in the business for near 20 off and on, starting with Voile' when they came out with breakthrough "Carbon Surf" powder skis. I am so impressed with the shorter, wider skis they and Altai (and others) have come out with for the niche of Backcountry/XCD that I enjoy, and do my best to share with others. I have also gained some technical and other specialized knowledge through the many years I've been doing this that helps drive the enthusiasm for this particular sport.
It is a small time operation for sure, but has gained some notoriety on the web kinda nationwide and have many inquiries and some sales across the country.. I am an official dealer for Altai Skis, TSL Outdoor and Big Sky Mountain Products; and will be working on certain other special products manufacturers.
