Hey guys,

i am thinking about buying a used tour binding for alpine boots (no pin!) because I want to have the possibility of getting some touring out of the resort. The walking probably never will be over one hour, my boots are not for touring at all and I have no budget to buy new boots this season.

so what are the important things to take a close look on a used binding? Which parts could be broke? Are there any dangers?


thanks guys!

Just make sure it's not indemnified

Frame bindings are probably the best bindings to buy used tbh. A lot of people only use them occasionally, don't use them at all, or decide quickly they want to get into a binding with pins.

Ask for close up pictures to make sure they aren't beat to he'll and you'll probably be ok.
