ATK CREST 10 CAMO GREEN Bindings - 102MM

ATK Crest 10 Camo Green: The ski touring binding designed for efficiency in all conditions

The ATK Crest 10 Camo Green ski touring binding is designed for ski tourers seeking a complete system capable of meeting the demands of both ascents and descents across varied alpine terrain. Weighing 295 g per binding (brake included), it features a minimalist design without sacrificing functional sophistication. Its green camouflage colorway comes with a 102 mm brake version, suitable for ski touring skis with a medium profile. This binding is part of ATK’s Winter 2027 collection and is suitable for unisex use, from beginner ski tourers to experienced mountaineers seeking a reliable system for all types of outings.

Front toe piece: precise entry and enhanced grip on challenging terrain

The toe piece of the ATK Crest 10 Camo Green ski touring binding incorporates Monolink Technology 1.0, a design that reduces the number of parts in contact with the boot inserts to lower weight while increasing overall stiffness. This design directly contributes to more direct power transfer during downhill pushes. The Snow Pack Proof Toe design prevents snow buildup under the toe piece—a critical factor for maintaining the inserts’ engagement with the pins when re-strapping in cold or wet conditions. The Easy Entry System® makes putting on the boot easier, even with gloves on, by guiding the boot toward the pins intuitively and safely.

Heel piece: power transmission and one-handed braking

The Crest 10’s heel piece features a 12 mm elastic travel, which absorbs vibrations and shocks caused by uneven terrain without compromising the overall stiffness of the binding. The Elastic Response System® allows the boot and ski to work in synergy: the ski’s natural flex is preserved, which improves release consistency and reduces unwanted stress on the knee joint. The sole length adjustment offers a 20 mm range, allowing the binding to be adapted to different sizes of tech boots. The AUTO BRAKE SYSTEM® integrated into the heel piece allows you to lock and unlock the ski brake with one hand when switching to walk mode, simplifying the transition at the start of an ascent.

Climbing wedges: three positions to adapt your effort to the slope

The Crest 10’s climbing wedges offer three distinct positions—flat, +27 mm, and +46 mm—to accommodate the various slope profiles encountered during a mountain outing. The Magneto Heel Risers system allows for ergonomic activation of the risers with a pole, without having to bend down, which reduces fatigue during long ascents and speeds up transitions. The heel piece pivots freely in walking mode, allowing for natural foot movement and an efficient stride on climbing skins.

Safety and release: independent adjustments and reliable performance

The DIN release range extends from 4 to 10, with independent adjustment for lateral and vertical release. This configuration allows the binding’s performance to be precisely tailored to the skier’s weight—recommended between 40 and 85 kg—as well as their skill level and snow conditions. The Cam Release System® ensures a progressive and predictable release while descending, minimizing unintended releases while guaranteeing a clean release during an actual fall. This dual independent adjustment is a real advantage for skiers whose outings alternate between gentle slopes and technical sections.

Compatibility and Materials: Italian-made for long-lasting durability

The Crest 10 Camo Green is compatible with tech-style boots featuring PIN TECH inserts (ISO 9523), a widespread standard in ski touring. The 102 mm brake is compatible with skis that have a waist width between 80 and 97 mm, making it suitable for a variety of snow conditions. The binding is constructed from 7075 aluminum, stainless steel, and POM (acetal plastic)—three complementary materials that combine lightness, corrosion resistance, and long-term mechanical strength. The entire unit is manufactured in Italy, ensuring rigorous quality control on every component.

The ATK Crest 10 Camo Green – 102 mm binding meets the needs of ski tourers who regularly ski on varied alpine terrain, from valley runs to more challenging routes requiring precise release and quick transitions. Its balance of structural lightness, adjustability, and durable materials makes it an excellent choice for those who want to improve their skills without switching systems.
