What Binding Is This?

[JohnSKepler]

Ran across these on Craigslist. Not close but… The bases are toast but I can tell this is some kind of releasable plate. Maybe can help protect my knees? What might these be worth to someone trying to remain ambulatory?

I’m guessing they come in a large and a small. I’d need the small and these are probably a large…

It is a Voile Complete Releasable. My first binding was the 3-pin cable version. It definitely can reliably release. That binding is the releasable version of of the Hardwire binding LoFi speaks so well of.
I was young when I had no use for releasable bindings. I skied alpine bindings at 14, unless they only went to 12. I skied those at 13 !

These are likely 15+ years old. Skied and still have these on old Karhu Jaks from 20 years ago and the main problem is that snow would build up under foot and cause the binding to release.

Haha, that’s them! If they were closer I’d have them but I’m not sure they’re worth a 90 mile drive one way. I offered to buy them for asking if the owner would pull and shop them but he didn’t bite.
