The Switchback is designed specifically for 75mm telemark boots. It is not compatible with NTN (New Telemark Norm) boots.

The free-pivot mechanism eliminates resistance at the heel during your stride, allowing for a natural, efficient walking motion. This significantly reduces fatigue on long backcountry ascents compared to fixed-pivot bindings.

Yes, the enclosed housing is specifically engineered to keep snow and ice out of the pivot mechanism. This prevents the binding from freezing up, which is a common issue with more exposed designs in variable backcountry conditions.

The Switchback is a reliable, straightforward binding, but keep in mind that it requires a drill-mounted installation. If you are new to telemark, ensure you have a shop or a qualified technician handle the mounting to guarantee the correct placement for your boot size.
