I've demoed every alpine ski binding on the market and the Warden for years has remained one of my top favorites because the reliable retention and power transfer are best in class. My ski style at times can be described as a linebacker being shot out of a cannon. Because of that, I have a habit of exploding out of bindings when I'm getting a little too excited, even when I have them cranked up accordingly. The Warden however has never let me down in that sense. I've always stayed securely connected to the ski right up until the point where I actually do need it to release and when it does, it feels smooth, safe, and crisp. It's everything you can ask for. On top of that it's versatile to any discipline, any ski, and even any boot thanks to it's MNC rating, making it one of the most capable options in it's category. The one only flaw that I've found with this binding after years of hard use on both my personal skis and the rental fleets that I've managed, is that the very front of the toe piece, where the plastic of the DIN window wraps around has a tendency to crack with hard use. It's more aesthetic than anything and never a deal breaker for me but worth considering when looking at the options.

What do you love about this product?
There's a lot I love about the Warden bindings - Easy step in with a loud clack that lets you know you're secure, Excellent power transfer, and reliable retention and release, with great boot to binding contact.Why did you choose this product?
I ski at a DIN of 8 which puts me in a position where I'll typically choose a 13 DIN binding for higher performance but it's not always necessary depending on the ski. Sometimes I'll go with an 11 DIN to reduce the weight of the ski or the overall cost of the setup. If for whatever reason I end up with an 11 DIN binding on my skis, I prefer the Warden over every other model because the power transfer and retention are the best in class. I can ski at my highest level with full confidence that my skis will respond to my input. Just as importantly, It always feels crisp and smooth in it's release when I do get into a situation where my skis need to come off.What is the value for the money versus other options?
The Warden offers the best power transfer and retention reliability in the 11 DIN class. It has over sized tow wings that connect securely with the boot and it has a rugged heel piece that gives the patented loud Salomon "Clack" for a secure step in. The Warden has an MNC rating which means it can take alpine, gripwalk, and touring soles, making it a great choice for those who have multiple pairs of boots or those who prefer a touring boot when skiing alpine.17% of customers also bought Ski Boots
