Intermediate and advanced skiers will love the ease of use, strong performance, and versatility of the Salomon Strive 12 bindings.

Why we like it:

We love the blend of performance and reliability with these bindings. They’re easy to step in and get out, have a well-rounded DIN range, a good stand height for leverage, and are light enough for those who just don’t want a heftier or more demanding setup. With a weight of 920 g/binding, they’re easy to move around even in tighter spaces.

Who it's for:

From a performance perspective, this Strive 12 will work great for intermediate through advanced skiers. With a DIN range of 4-12, it really works great for those in the middle of that range.

Highlights:

Thanks to the three-piece heel, the wide toe pedal and the ease of use, the Strive 12 is a great option for progressing skiers. Built with an adjustment range of 30 mm and a stand height of 19.6 mm for leverage over the edges, this binding is a strong performer and a versatile binding that fits alpine and grip walk soles.

Things to consider:

For those who fall above or below the stated DIN range, there are better options out there.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These bindings need to be adjusted by a certified binding technician. That said, there’s about 30 mm of fore/aft adjustment in these bindings to accommodate different boot lengths.
