G3 Zed 9 Ski Binding

 Canadian Company

Further refined for lighter users, the G3 ZED 9 ski binding strikes an ideal balance of a lightweight build, easy-to-use feature set, and uncompromised downhill performance and safety. Leashes and brakes sold separately. Starting with the proven platform of the ION, G3 looked at every part, every mechanism, and every screw to evolve the idea of a fully featured binding at the lightest weight possible. With the ZED they set out to define the next generation of lightweight high-performance touring bindings.

Go Further

As backcountry skiers, the G3 team focus on simplicity and efficiency to go further and do more in the mountains. With that same mindset they loaded the ZED with a full yet simplistic feature set that saves valuable weight and reliably has your back when you’re deep in the mountains.

Go Hard

A binding can be light and simple for the hike up, but none of that matters if you can’t ski it the way you want. The ZED truly stands confident in a league of its own with all the power and performance of a much heavier modern touring binding, but packs it into a super light and simple package.
