If you’re a guide in the backcountry, other people’s lives can depend on the gear that you choose. That’s why, in 1995, when G3 started making avalanche probes, they decided to hold every item they made to a higher standard. Will this piece of equipment improve the abilities and safety of professionals who live and work in the backcountry? The design of the ONYX binding is focused on the best combination of lightweight, high performance, and usability. We stayed true to our commitment to lightweight by designing an enhanced Tech system toe attachment that provides a rigid and secure boot interface, an easy step-in experience, and a high level of retention. We then added a heel mechanism that shifts fore and aft to allow for an easy switch between ski and tour mode without having to release the boot from the binding. Finally, we added an easy to adjust mounting plate system so that one mount fits multiple boot sizes
