Atomic Backland Summit 12 BR

The Atomic Backland Summit 12 BR is a ski touring binding designed for backcountry enthusiasts who value a lightweight setup without sacrificing reliability. It fits into the Speed category of tour bindings, offering a balanced design for both ascending and descending in varied terrain.

Weighing in at just 395 grams per binding, the Backland Summit 12 BR helps reduce fatigue on long approaches. It comes with brakes included, so you don’t need to source them separately—handy when you’re managing gear at high altitude. The binding range, adjustable from DIN 6 to 12, accommodates a wide spectrum of skier weights and skill levels, ensuring secure retention on steep lines and controlled release when needed.

The DIN scale indicates how much force is required to release your boot from the binding in a fall. A range of 6–12 means you can set a lower value for lighter skiers or mellow terrain, and increase it for heavier skiers or more aggressive descents. This adjustability helps protect your legs by letting the binding release under strong impact, while staying locked in during normal skiing.
