Who would love these
These bindings are ideal for skiers who enjoy both resort skiing and occasional backcountry adventure and don't want to own entirely separate gear setups. If I'm a resort skier looking to explore side-country or backcountry terrain, these bindings offer a seamless transition between modes.
Why I recommend these
Expert verdict
The Salomon Shift family of bindings, including these S/Lab Shift MNC 10 Ski Bindings, is a game-changer for those who love both ski touring and resort skiing. What makes them stand out is their unique design that combines the efficiency of a pin binding with the security of an alpine binding. This means I can confidently tackle any terrain without switching gear. They're lightweight yet durable, making them perfect for those who want to explore side-country or backcountry without sacrificing downhill performance. However, if I'm looking for the lightest touring setup, these might not be my first choice. But for those who prioritize versatility, these bindings are a fantastic option.
