Salomon was born in 1947 in the heart of the French Alps and the birthplace of modern alpinism. Driven by passion for skiing and design innovation, Francois Salomon and his son George designed and perfected many of the first modern ski bindings. Today, Salomon products are sold in over 160 countries and the brand is a global icon. Through performance driven design, Salomon delivers innovation and progression to mountain sports; converting new ideas into action and expanding the limits of possibility. Salomon's heritage, culture, and commitment are tied together by one simple concept: the world’s leading mountain people creating the world’s leading mountain product. As the industry comes out with wider and wider skis you must be able to adapt your bindings to accommodate the fatter waist widths. Salomon offers replaceable wide brakes for use specifically with their STH bindings. The wide breaks range from 90mm widths to 130mm widths.
