The Curated Take
The Salomon Warden is a work horse of a binding that will hold in an aggressive skier taking on everything the resort has to offer. At the same time, it's perfectly suited for the beginner skier taking it slow and captiously. The 3-11 DIN range has plenty to offer at the both ends of the spectrum with a smooth an reliable release when needed. I myself am an expert level skier, with a propensity to explode out of bindings at my top power, even when they're cranked up to their maxes. However, I never have that issue with the salomon wardens even in the 11 DIN. I always stay solidly connected to the ski.
Salomon bindings are known for a loud satisfying click when you step into the binding, letting the skier know they are secure to the ski. The heel pieces are durable and robust, offering durability that Salomon's old Z10 and Z12 series did not. The forward pressure is easy to see and set with ample travel to adjust to wider range of boot sole lengths than most bindings in it's class.
The toe pieces of the bindings offer excellent contact with the boot and have more elastic travel than most, giving the skier a lot of wiggle room to stay in the binding when picking up the pace in the moguls and terrain park. However, after a lot of use and abuse, the plastic housing of the DIN window has a tendency to crack around the toe.

Why did you choose this product?
The Salomon Warden 11 MNC has been my top pick for an 11 DIN binding for years now because power transfer feels phenomenal and I find it to offer the most reliable retention for my aggressive style of skiing. That being said though, these are appropriate for all skill levels including beginners. Also it has a benefit of doubling the warranty on any Salomon, Atomic, or Armada ski.What was your favorite moment with this gear?
This binding is currently mounted to my Armada ARV 96s which are my daily driver all mountain twin tips for moguls, trees, and park so every time I click into these bindings, I get stoked. Once of the most stratifying feature's about these bindings is Salomon's patented loud CLACK when your boot clicks into the heel, letting you know you're locked and loaded.What is the value for the money versus other options?
The MNC in the title stands for Multi-Norm Certified, meaning it can take standard alpine boots (ISO 5355), GripWalk boots (ISO 23223), Touring boots (ISO 9523), and WTR boots - though Walk to Ride boots we phased out in 2019 as GripWalk became mainstream. This offer huge value over the competition that Tyrolia, Marker, and Look produce for that reason. In the advent of Marker dropping SOLE ID from the Squire bindings, the Warden is the only 11 DIN alpine left that offers full MNC. I had a customer this year who needed this specific binding for exactly that reason.
