All Things Salomon
Salomon Ski Bindings, Ski Boots, and Skis
We have our Look Pivot thread, we have a Spademan thread so lets start a Salomon thread. Years ago I started a thread on Epic, and if I recall, it was my 727th post, "The most important binding of all time, the S727". Yes, the Pivot has had much love of late with it's historic design and yes Salomon went to a single pivot toe peice design after Look but it is other areas that make the 727 so influential.
Other Salomon pictures will be coming soon.

- The toe is the first with a multi directional design, a single pivot with upward compensation
- The first binding with an integrated retractable brake, at the time all the brakes were afterthoughts
- A heel design that has been copied by every other manufacturer in some capacity and is still used today
- The first DIN binding. the first years were not actually DIN but 1-4 but were still able to pass DIN tests.
Other Salomon pictures will be coming soon.
