The combination of precision mechanics and enthusiasm for winter sports has led PLUM to specialise in the manufacture of lightweight touring bindings for skis and splitboards. The entire value chain, from design to production and assembly, takes place in-house at PLUM's headquarters in Thyez, France. PLUM pursues its strategy with three core principles: Simplicity, durability and lightness.
The concept is simple: few frills and reduction to the essential individual components. In addition, high-quality materials such as recyclable 7075 aluminium and well thought-out functions. In addition, they are committed to ensuring that the binding will continue to function and provide pleasure for years to come. For this reason, PLUM guarantees every binding for at least five years, in some cases ten years as with the Guide Binding - with the exception of the R120 and all splitboard bindings, where the minimum guarantee of two years applies.
The PLUM OAZO Light Touring binding with stopper is a good example of a compromise between low weight, reasonable safety and long-lasting stability. At just 270g including stopper, it is one of the lightest bindings, offering the option of adjustable, lateral release on the rear jaw with a Z-value of four to ten. The front release is not adjustable. The OAZO has three heel supports (0mm / 40mm / 52mm), which are quick and easy to operate. Further details about the binding can be found on the manufacturer's website fixation-plum.com
