Plum Oazo

The fixed vertical release of 8 is designed for experienced backcountry skiers who prioritize weight savings and efficiency. If you are a heavier skier or prefer a more aggressive release setting for high-consequence terrain, you may find this fixed value too limiting compared to adjustable models.

The 25mm adjustment baseplate allows you to fine-tune the binding to fit different boot sole lengths without needing to remount the skis. This is particularly useful if you switch between different touring boots or want to lend your skis to a friend with a similar boot size.

Yes, they are built specifically for that purpose. The three-level heel riser (0mm, 40mm, 54mm) helps you maintain a comfortable stride on steep pitches, and the integrated crampon slot provides the necessary security when conditions turn icy or firm.

No, these are tech bindings and are only compatible with ski boots that feature tech inserts (also known as pin inserts) in the toe and heel. They will not work with standard alpine or frame-binding compatible boots.

Plum uses 7075 aluminum and hardened steel to ensure structural integrity despite the ultralight weight. While they are minimalist and not intended for resort-style abuse or heavy park riding, they are robust enough for dedicated backcountry touring and technical missions.
