Find out how it fared in practice in the following test.

With the Xenic Plus 12, Fritschi is launching a significant update of the Xenic on the market. In addition to the familiar advantages, the binding continues to impress with its low weight. However, numerous new features make it more stable and safer, making it particularly interesting for downhill-oriented ski tourers.

On a sunny Saturday early in the season - at a time when the snow conditions were still manageable and many ski tours were simply not feasible - we had the same brilliant idea as hundreds of others: Up to the Zuckerhütl, the highest peak in the Stubai Alps, popularly known as the "Hiatl". And so we found ourselves in the middle of the action, torn between a genuine mountain experience, magnificent scenery - and a tour that at times felt more like a queue than alpine solitude.

With the Fornix BC, POC has a helmet in its range that offers pretty much all the safety features for ski helmets and is also very light. This of course makes it ideal for touring. We have tested how it performs in practice for you.

In Lyngen we found a place where skiing, packrafting, and everyday logistics blend into a steady rhythm shaped by weather and terrain. Over the course of a month we moved between birch forests, steep north faces, and calm fjord crossings, discovering stunning places and revealing many more we now hope to return to. The experience was not only about memorable moments, but above all about the simple, continuous exploration that the far north invites.

Anyone who thinks that innovations in winter only take place amongst electrical airbag systems will be proven wrong by Mammut: weighing in at 1.5 kg (including cartridge), this airbag backpack is one of the lightest on the market and impresses with its modern, minimalistic design.
