The Armada Shift MNC 10 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings bring the innovative touring function and exceptional versatility of the original Shifts to a wider audience with a DIN range aimed squarely at lighter, younger, and less aggressive skiers. They convert from ski to tour mode at the flick of a lever, and offer the unrivaled safety, reliability, and response of a fully DIN certified binding when pointed downhill. If you're juggling both resort and backcountry skiing on a single setup, and you've got a penchant for all black everything, it's a no brainer - the Armada Shift MNC 10 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings are in a class of their own.
