Blister reviews the Atomic Backland Tour / Salomon MTN binding

2020-2021 Salomon MTN Pure / Atomic Backland Pure

While the Salomon / Atomic Shift binding is a revolutionary piece of ski equipment, Salomon and Atomic also make a touring binding on the much lighter and simpler end of the spectrum.

Check out our full review.
