STH 16 Steel
MSRP: $535
Product Features: 9-16 DIN, Full steel construction, Independent wing adjustment

Description: Based on athlete and freeski community demand, Salomon introduces the STH 16 Steel, modeled on the construction of the legendary 916 Metal. Includes 90-130mm brake sizes. “I like using the STH 16 because it instills confidence when I step into them and hear the heel piece clamp down. It sounds like a bear trap snapping shut and that ‘snap’ makes me feel good. Trust in equipment is what I live by, that’s why I have used the STH 16 for over 20 years.” — Seth Morrison

Skier’s Choice Draft Pick | Round 6, 6th Pick by John Stifter
New for this season, the STH 16 Steel is essentially the return of the renowned, all-metal 916 binding that Salomon made up until 2004, mainly used by hucksters like Seth Morrison and World Cup racers. I’m not claiming to be either, but I don’t mind the extra weight when I want to be clamped in. This binder possesses the driver design and metal toe piece of lore and is sure to keep me extra secure when it matters most.
