SKU: 1130-55 Voile STS Tour Binding

Just simple and easy to use. I had no worries to setting them up and using them.

I have had my STS Tour bindings for about 1 and a half seasons. They were amazing for the first year. Then I started having problems with the locking mechanism randomly releasing and my most recent day out I had to use a ski strap to keep it locked while skinning.

I've been a hard boot evangelist for more than ten years, and have tried everything from the original Voile mountain plates, to Dynafit toe pieces, Spark tech toes, and now finally these bad boys. I'm a Voile superfan, and have great trust in the "simple, solid, backcountry" ethos. A Voile avy shovel I bought in 1995 is still in my pack today! When I first came across these I knew I had to try a set. The toes are the critical piece of the package, and I'm happy to report that they set up easily, are super simple to use, and that I've never pre-released despite plenty of heinous icy side hills, creek crossing, and general abuse. The fit and finish is not quite up to the impeccable German standards of Dynafit, but then again there are no springs to fail and they take up significantly less space on the board. Compared to Spark's tech toes I'd choose the Voiles. I'm leaving 4 out of 5 stars because the new heel risers, despite the ingenious adjustable slots, have the wires in the wrong order. I use the low wire every tour but hardly ever the high wire. Unlike Voile's other climbing wires, I usually have to raise first the high wire, then the low wire, than lower the high wire. If the low wire was more accessible with a typical pole handle, or better yet pointing backwards, these would be perfection.

Have these now instead of the other options on the market. Heal raisers are great too. The only thing I’ve done is add a lanyard to the plastic cam so I don’t have to bend over and pull the shut. Can do with my pole. PLEASE MAKE SOME MORE!!!!! I need 10 more sets!!

I ordered these bindings earlier this season and had to return them. (See review below) after a bit of back and forth with voile they decided to hieghten the angle of the attachment point that fits the boot insert. While there is still a slight bit of friction with my la sportiva boots (which dont have dynafit approved inserts) my proclines and tlt's are just fine and show no looseness in the connection. Great fix and i am stoked to be moving forward with this product!

I've been riding Voile splits/kits since the early 1990s. I have some experience with their products. I used this binding last year with some Backlands for roughly 80 days of bashing and they were very reliable. Having done this outdoor thing for a bit now I've learned nothing is perfect. This product is as close as it gets.

Just bought and immediately sent back these toe pieces. Had time to set them up for a dry test. Not too heavy, simple and easy to use, could lock and unlock with my pole and never missed unlike the spring loaded designs. As good as it was looking for this binding I ran into a few issues. The first minor issue is that the toe piece is too low. With my arcteryx proclines I would need to knotch out a lug of the tread to miss the base of the locking hinge. On my La Sportiva Siderals the boot hits near the crampon mount keeping the boot from resting flat and creating standing tention on the inserts. These issues are relatively small but worth mentioning. The major and intolerable flaw is the amount of friction at the boot binding attachment. So much friction that when the board is lifted off the ground the tip will not raise. There is enough friction that when the board is set flat the boot can be held suspended in the air and it takes some force to push it down. I have now talked with the sales manager and he has not been able to assure me that he can produce a binding that will behave any different and I have come to the realization this is a design flaw not just a defective part. He has also assured me they will look into it and take the issue seriously. Knowing this I would warn anyone thinking of purchasing this product for the 2020-2021 season that you will be paying voile to do thier R&D as this product does not currently seem to be ready for market.

I have been looking for this product for eight years. So stoked that it even exists. Simple design and easy to use. So much better than putting a Dynafit ski binding on my snowboard. I wish that the cost was about half of what it is but where else are you gonna go?

Like the motto says, "simple, solid, backcountry" and this binding delivers. Easy in, easy out keeps my foot locked in even on the most heinous of sidehills. Light too and allows a ton of adjustability for the pucks to be in the perfect spot for the down. I way dig these.
