Voile 3-pin bindings - Differences?

Post by cwdz » Mon Dec 21, 2020 2:04 pm

Anyone know about Voiles?

I see several different Voile 3-pin binding names, including:

"Telemark" (no cable) (black andondized)
Voile 3-Pin Cable (black) seen a
HD Mountaineer (red)
Voile 3-Pin Hardwire Telemark Binding (blue)

Does anyone know the difference between them?

I have a pair of the black w/cables and a pair of black non-cable ones (which I guess are the "Telemark" as listed in the picture here?) My ones with cables are thicker aluminum and are easier to close on my BCX6 soles, so they are built for a thicker sole.) I tried a friend's Hardwires (blue) and they are likewise thicker aluminum, a bit wider and also accomodate a thicker sole.

Trying to figure out which to use for what. Thanks

This should help, with very good descriptions:

Differences are all about the type of cable, risers/no risers, or no cable option at all. The pin-only "Mountaineer" bindings are made from a thinner alloy to save wt, but dimensionally are the same as the others, iirc.
