The Atomic Backland Summit 5 BR is a ski touring binding made for backcountry explorers who want a lightweight setup on the way up and reliable attachment on the way down. It keeps your gear simple and focused on performance where it matters most.
Weighing just 390 g per binding, the Backland Summit 5 BR helps reduce fatigue on long ascents. The included brake stops runaway skis if the binding releases, and its adjustable DIN range from 3 to 5 suits lighter skiers or anyone prioritizing a low-weight configuration.

Atomic says about the Backland Summit 5 BR
Offering Release Value Adjustment and flex absorption, the all-round Atomic Backland Summit 5 BR is the ideal binding for young ski tourers. It features all the technology of the ‘adult’ Backland Summit binding, but in a lighter weight, easier to use package. The Release Value Adjustment offers release values up to 5 for trustworthy operation, superior safety, and performance. The Patented Step-in Aid with an integrated toe bar guides the boot perfectly into alignment. AutoFlex System features a spring in the heel mechanism that automatically provides 5mm of travel between the toe and heel during the arc of a turn. The result is an easy-to-use binding that provides elasticity to support the natural ski flex and further enhances safety, absorption, and performance. A Climbing Aid adjusts from 0° to 7° with a simple flick of ski pole and touring brakes feature a unique lock system that switches easily from hike to ski mode. Featuring an Alu/PA Pin Toe and Heel, the high-performance PA material is reinforced with fiberglass to keep it light, easy, and accessible.
