Scarpa Freedom Binding – 2024

Your friends have been doubtful in the past, but you can show them how much fun it is to telemark with Scarpa’s Freedom Binding. This binding uses Rottefella’s NTN system, except with a lighter platform to give you an energetic edge on the uphill, and there are two heel-lifter positions included with the walk mode to help you tackle steeper sections with ease. The Freedom also features a lateral release that’s notably safer than telemark bindings with cable wires, but release values cannot be guaranteed. You can adjust the forward flex for mellower days in the backcountry, or crank it up for more hard-charging missions.
