Fastening systems transmit force, determine the direction of the skis at any styles of the stroke. Therefore, high-quality mount matters no less than good equipment and sports equipment. Therefore, before purchasing it is recommended to study the fastenings for skiing NNN and SNS, the differences of which can ensure safety, reduce the risk of injury.
Important! The choice depends rather from preferences and people's requests. Finally decide for yourself what option is better, you can only after several years of classes, based on different indicators, individual anatomical features.
What is and what is the difference between NNN from SNS
Views and models
Both systems exist in the form of various models for both beginners and professional athletes. Therefore, when choosing it is recommended to rely on specific indicators. Models are distinguished by the platform height, flexors stiffness. NNN has 4 levels of rigidity, SNA - 3 levels.
SNA can be divided into Profil and Pilot models. The PROFIL system is designed for all types of stroke, including for mixed type. They are indicated by the corresponding marks - "Classic", "Combi" and "Skate". They differ in the level of stiffness of flexors.
Pilot mount is designed for walking skate. The structure of the device is the main difference. It has a double axis of fastening, and instead of an ordinary flexor from rubber, a spring is attached. It is permissible to use Pilot boots with fasteners Profil, but Profil shoes cannot be used with Pilot fasteners.
If you compare SNS Profil Equipe and SNS Pilot Equipe, then the second model has better geometry and mechanics, it is easier, provides more accurate ski control. Also on this model more powerful repulsion, better rental.
SNS Pilot Carbon RC and RC2 systems are improved in such a way that the weight has decreased, and control control has improved on a par with stability indicators.
The tourist subspecies of the system are usually fastened automatically. They are used for different ski styles, as they are universal. In such models, the flexor of the average rigidity. The main disadvantages are that the system is heavy and exploded at very low temperatures.
NNN is divided into models suitable for different styles of stroke, including for mixed. They also differ in different stiffness of flexors. At the same time, in high-level R3 SKATE and R4 Skate, specialized at the skate course, an additional flexor was installed. But it can be removed, to configure, as a result of such changes, fasteners becomes universal. NNN also has tourist models with automatic fastening.
Xcelerator Junior, which happens in the variants of the classic, skate style, is suitable for both athletes and beginners. Exercise is a simple model used by basic, middle-level skiers.
Xcelerator is a modern device that is also available in the "SKATE" and "Classic" options, is used by professionals. The model is ease and convenience. There are also modifications for the skate option - the specialized Xcelerator Skate Spacer platform is installed, which lifts the sock. Thus, stability and repulsion increases.
Important! NEW NORDIC NORM boots are suitable for almost all NNN systems, except for the beckqanthka model.
In style of Catania
As mentioned above, the riding style depends not on the type of fastener, but from a specific model. Moreover, many of them are universal, so used for different ski styles. They depend on the rigidity of flexors on a specific device. However, NNN systems help better manage skiing when skating.
Brands
There are brands that produce boots adapted to these systems. SNS ski boots produce directly Salomon, as well as Adidas, Fischer, Alfa. Brands that produce boots for the NNN system - Rossignol, Alpina, Atomic and Karhu.
Material
Fastenings are made of modern materials, however, an important difference lies not in them, but in various details. Namely in the presence of brackets, flexors and lower fasteners. For example, flexors are made of rubber, or a spring is used instead.
For both systems, we use high-quality plastic, rubber, metal parts.
Conclusion
Despite the items on which NNN and SNS can be distinguished, they use the same popularity, are used in sports almost on a par. Although NNN systems with automatic fastening. As you perfect, the desires, the ability of a person, based on which, he chooses the fastening system independently.
Ski today produce the most detailed destination - for beginners and experienced athletes, for running or mountains.
Accordingly, the models differ in materials from which they are manufactured, length and width and necessarily by the types of fasteners.
Since the choice of ski shoes depends on the selected mounts, and sometimes even special design solutions are required in the ski device, the question with them should be solved first.
Retro Style Fastening
Are considered outdated, but still used fasteners known as NN-75. These are those devices that parents of the current athletes are used to calling hard.
They consist of a plate with pins and clamping brackets. Boots for such fixtures must have appropriate holes in the sole.
Such fasteners are very cheap, but gradually ousted by other structures.
It is argued that they do not allow the use of a skate move (although the Soviet skiers-unprofessionals were somehow managed). But the fact that this system leaves the heel is unfixed.
Modern Fashion - SNS and NNN
The most common types of fasteners for cross-country skis are called SNS. and NNN.. Each of them requires a special type of shoes, there is no compatibility between them (although it is possible inside one attachment group).
Both of these systems are distinguished by the presence of peculiar guides instead of pins (in the first case - one, in the second - two), which reliably fix the leg using similar grooves in the boot sole.
Both types of fastening differ in hardness. It is determined by the indicators of the rubber band in which the shoes are resting with the push. They can be distinguished by color or applied numeric marking. Fastening SNS. For the skate stroke, sometimes produced with special springs instead of rubber bands.
System NNN. It is characterized closest to the foot (almost under the fingers) by the location of the locking spring, which also facilitates the movement of the "skate".
In both of these types, there are varieties, fastening automatically and requiring work with their hands. Experienced athletes usually choose SNS. with manual fastening (they are more reliable), and newcomers - NNN. With automation (they are cheaper). Fastening these types are suitable for any size of the shoes.
Technical New NIS.
Another type of cross-country ski skiing appeared in 2005. His conditional designation - NIS.. The difference here is not in principle fixing the boot, but in the approach to the idea of \u200b\u200binstalling the fasteners of skiing.
They can be mounted without screws, very quickly, as well as move along the ski. The problem is in one - only skis are suitable for this, which the corresponding platform is already installed by the factory method.
Special shoes in this case are not necessary - boots with a standard of standard are suitable.
If the athlete intends to ski only the first steps, he is better to purchase the first equipment according to the recommendations of the professional consultant.
And it is not necessary to strive to immediately buy all the most expensive - such equipment is intended for professionals, and newcomers are suitable completely different models and structures.
Video on fasteners
CCM in the winter triathlon. Creator of the online program of teaching skiing Proski. It shares its experience in articles and blogs on social networks, on a personal example motivates to play sports. Ski sticks in their hands have become an integral part of his life. Egor B. In contact with And instagram.
Winter is nearers. During this period, half the runners will ski to diversify workouts. Sneakers will change to ski boots, and in the hands there will be ski sticks. How to choose an inventory to feel like a skier? We are determined with the choice of fixtures and boots Together with Egor Muskoy, CCM in the winter triathlon, the creator of the online program for teaching cross skiing Proski.
Let's start with the fact that we define which system fastening the boots will use. Their two: SNS and NNN. In this year, another one, similar to NNN, is Turnamic. Consider in detail each view.
SNS PROFILE. The most popular system until 2010. The construction design has a wide protruding strip along the entire length. On the sole of the boot there is a wide deepening. The shoe and fastening mechanism is simple: automatic or mechanical. The photo below shows a mechanical version. On automatic, we need to insert a boot with an effort to the place where the gum is located. Rubber insert ensures elastic work and the responsiveness of the shoe with a push. To run away from such an attachment, we will need to press a button with a button that is located in front of the gum.
SNS Pilot. Now the elastic work does not require an elastic band, the contact of the boot and attachment is changed: another jumper on the boot was added. It clings for an extra bracket, located closer to the center of the attachment. This system works like a spring: after a jolts, the ski returns to the boot sole. Due to this, the speed and frequency of the legs increases. Fixing the boot is carried out only in the mechanical version.
NNN. The difference between NNN and SNS is that there are two thin guides on the attachment. The design of the sole of the boot has two narrow grooves, the shoe is attached to one bracket. The contact surface of the sole in such a system is greater, the ski is felt and is managed better than with SNS.
Note: PROLINK. This is the same NNN system, only released as a supplement to Salomon boots. NNN boots are also suitable for these mounts.
Turnamic. The boot sole will be similar to the sole of the SNS, and the fastening will remain the same as NNN.
Output
The SNS and SNS Pilot fastening created Salomon. It so happened that the boots of this company, regardless of the model, were created warm. For someone it is minus, since they are felt on the legs like felt boots. Ski control is faint. There are no such problems in the top models, as they are made of carbon: it is light and durable. The sole of them is thicker than NNN, due to the protruding part of the attachment. The choice should, first of all, be based on personal sensations. Each manufacturer pads are different, so you need to compare and choose a convenient option for you.
Ski boot design
Start expanding crossing skiing easier from the skate stroke. The classic stroke assumes the presence of the mainstream ointments under the ski roof. To choose to correctly choose the weather, you need experience, otherwise skiing will slip back. The skne course is the perfect option for beginners. Mechanics movement are similar to skating or rollers.
On shoes for the skate stroke should be a rigid cuff, fixing the position of the ankle: to keep control over the ski will be easier. The sole should not be flexible, the rigidity of such shoes is justified. When moving from foot to the leg, it is necessary to hold the balance and control the movement of the ski. The cuff helps to send ski and eliminate twisting in the foot.
The price of the boot will depend on the materials of which they are made. Carbon parts will add strength and lightness of the boot design simultaneously with the price. Lightweight models are performed for competing athletes and have a high degree of rigidity. Newcomers can just be uncomfortable to ride in such boots.
Below are the models of ski boots that I like more functionality.
Fischer Carbonlite Skate or RC7 Skate. Convenient boot design. The optimal stiffness at which it is comfortable to train, as well as to perform at competitions. The difference of models is that there is no carbon design in RC7, which means it is heavier.
Fischer Carbonlite Skate.
Boots for advanced lovers. Light and durable 3D plastic cuff. According to the design, they are similar to the upper models, but more comfortable for regular workouts.
SPINE CARERA CARBON PRO and CONCEPT SKATE PRO. I want to celebrate this Russian firm. The price of them will be 2 times cheaper than previous, and they are created on the basis of our weather conditions. These are warm boots. The quality approaches the level of world brands. There are cons of the service life of individual parts of the shoe. If you are just starting your ski way, it is a suitable budget option.
In the next part, let's talk about choosing a ski and stick length. Running skiing are developing all muscle groups, and the frosty airs boost your body and saturate with oxygen.
Love skis! Get on skis!
Despite the emergence of a huge number of new types of activity, skiing remains the most popular view of winter sports. Their uncomplicated design includes a lot of features. Many questions occur during the choice for cross-country skis, because it is necessary to take into account a large number of factors.
According to the main classification, there are automatic and mechanical types of fastening for cross-country skiing. The automatic shoe is characterized by the fact that it works directed, the shoes are snapped when the legs are immersed in the block. To secure skis manually use mechanical belts.
The choice of fastening depends on the place where you are going to do, and the way of riding. Going on the slopes of the mountains for high-speed descents, lifts and performing tricks, stop at inventory with mechanical pads. But if skis is needed for unhurried walks on the skiing of the forest, then automatic fasteners are suitable.
Automatic fasteners
Their advantage in a low price compared to the rest of the models. They are distinguished by the convenience and ease of operation: in order to fix the leg, you do not need to bend.
The main disadvantage of automatic mounts, compared to mechanical, was the gluing shoe to the chalkboard at a long ski walk. The shoe will have to shoot without skiing. You will be forced to wait long, while the ice melts, in order to sweep the shoes. If the place of attachment is clogged, then boots may not fit or unbutton at all.
Mechanical fasteners
The advantage of mechanical latches - reliability. They are used for many decades, and unbound only in rare cases. Such mounts are on rubber or leather straps. The best model combining both is suitable. After riding, mechanical attachments are easily removed, even if they are brought with a thick layer of snow.
The disadvantages include:
- do not touch your hands to dirty feet, as in the case of automatic fasteners, it will not work;
- to unzip the clasp, you need to bend, which is inconvenient in a ski suit or a frozen man when I want to go to heat as soon as possible;
- the essential minus of mechanical carbines is high cost.
Naturally, mechanical fasteners are ahead of automatic signs. Therefore, it is better to choose this model. She will last long, reliably fastened the leg.
Types of skiing
NN 75.
For each series of boots, there is a way of consolidation. For example, the NN 75 model is suitable for Tornau's boot. They are intended for lovers of skiing. These are mechanical universal fastenings of Russian production. Their advantage is in division on the right and left shoes. They are beneficially distinguished by the price below the average market. However, this model is outdated, as it keeps his leg. In addition, with their help it is impossible to move around the skate stroke.
NNN.
The model corresponds to running skiing. A large number of species is suitable for classic or for skate stroke. They are fully compatible with many types of shoes, as cross-thread is performed on their sole. Buyers will please a wide selection of different manufacturers.
NIS.
The NIS model is suitable for classic movement. These are mechanical assignments that create a better slip when moving, hard locking the foot. A pair of clicks - and the leg is fixed firmly in the block without displacement when moving. When they are stable, it becomes less due to the offset of the foot back. NIS is a last development version of NNN. They are located on the surface, so compatible with any NNN boots.
NS.
It is a obsolete species that is not used for a long time. However, some skiers make a choice in his favor, because it is the best one of the models. Among other types of low quality categories, this option is well suited for beginners and child, as it is made of numerous alloys.
What attachments to choose for skis
Lovers of winter sports are carefully suited to the choice of future fasteners. Each skier wants to have guaranteed comfort, convenience when moving and eliminate injuries, so it is better to stay on systems with mechanical fasteners. Well, if you are a newcomer in this sport, then prefer the automatic block. During slow movement, the quiet fulfillment of the tricks does not threaten you, but the skier with the experience, accustomed to move quickly on the mountain slopes, will stop the choice on mechanical models. Consult with specialists in sports stores. Consultants will help you choose the pads, taking into account all the requirements and features.
Independent installation of fasteners
Deciding with the mechanism, you need to install fasteners. They can be installed in the cabin where they were selected, or independently. Using a hydroevine, determine where the center of gravity is on the board. To do this, put a ski on the edge, and the level move over its entire surface. As soon as the center of gravity is discovered, mark it in dash.
With the help of a template that goes in with skis can be determined where to establish the basis. Once the points of the template and the intended line will coincide, drill the hole, screw the consolidation. You can check whether the attachment is correctly installed correctly by having a simple test - if when picked up the front part outputs the back, then the work is performed correctly.
What firms to choose?
Taking into account the huge selection on the market and the difference in price and quality, it is enough to choose a firm for skis. The sales leaders are left by NNN models. Buy fasteners complete with shoes so that then there have not arisen about their selection. For example, NNN boots can be used on different types of attachments, regardless of whether they are components or not. If you are a fan of skiing or, on the contrary, just start going skiing, then stop the choice on shoes and nnn mounts.
Let's summarize
Selection of fasteners for cross-country ski - long and responsible business. From the choice depends on the ski technology, risk of injury and so on. If you are just entering the ranks of skiers, you should not buy an expensive inventory. The price does not always determine the quality. Talk to people with experience in this issue, consult with sellers in the store of sporting goods. Come to the choice seriously to achieve success in skiing.
Ski mounts are one of the most important groups of elements, which gives the opportunity to attach the boots directly to the ski. Mounts are divided into mountain and running. If the first have a universal look, then the second give the consumer a serious reason for reflection. The fastenings of cross-country ski are divided into three main types:
- Nordic 75 - assumes the presence of an anterior shoe for fixing the sock. Outdated appearance gradually coming out of operation;
- SNS is a "chute" type system, having one common strip for fixing. The boot of the boot is fixed directly in the sock, so that such fasteners can be used both in classical and at the skating course.
- NNN is a "rail" type system, which has two protrusions under fastening. Due to the fact that the nasal boot bracket when fixing it turns out to be shifted back, it is used mainly by the adherents of the skate stroke.
In addition to the subtleties with the options for consolidation, each kit has its own rigidity, which also affects the style of riding and operational features.
According to the current tradition, the development of fasteners for skis is carried out mainly by the ski companies themselves, each of which seeks to introduce as much useful innovations into products. Make an independent choice in such a situation very difficult, especially since skiing begins to attractively attract the attention of newcomers. Therefore, after conducting a market research, we selected for you the 12 best skiings that have earned positive feedback from lovers and recognized professionals. The rating was based on the following criteria:
- the authority of the manufacturer in the territory of the Russian Federation;
- the opinion of users about the presented kits;
- abundance of operational characteristics;
- degree of constructive reliability;
- compliance of the cost of fixtures with general quality of manufacture.
Best Beach Ski Fasteners
4 Snowmatic.
Universality. Reliable metal system
Country Russia
The average price: 580 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.0
Quick and reliable fixation of ski boots provides automatic mechanism and high-quality wear-resistant SnowMatic fasteners.

The model is also applicable for female, and for the male part of the population, since it is represented in two sizes - M (35-42) and L (38-47).
According to the testimony of users, fastening due to a fully metallic system of holding covers shoes tightly, without hollows and gaps, but when critical loads may not unbutton. For many rides, it seems to be undoubted advantage and proof of the exceptional reliability of the mechanism, but in fact weakening fixation during falling should be mandatory. For this reason, it is important to consider that this mount is not intended for high speeds and requires compliance with safety on any track.
3 Rottefella Xcelerator Pro Classic Bulk
The best attachments for progressive skiers
Country: Norway
The average price: 3 500 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
A series of racing Xcelerator racing fixtures acquired a new bright representative who has absorbed a number of very significant differences from previous models. According to Yarya adherents of this brand, Pro Classic Bulk has become much more convenient due to the introduction of Quick Lock technology. Thanks to her, the rider has the possibility of unhindered movement and reliable fixation of the fastening on the interfaced NIS platform. Of course, such a function is slightly redundant for lovers to ride as a classic, but for professionals (which are the main target audience) accounted for quite by the way.
In addition, the manufacturer's material Rottefella Xcelerator Pro Classic Bulk slightly added to the rigging, slightly changing the balance and increasing the accuracy of passing for skiing. The appearance of the set did not and the appearance of the kit: the Norwegian company provided users with a magnificent color option, justifying all the expectations assigned to it.
2 Fischer Tour Step-in IFP
The best combination of price and quality
Country: Austria
The average price: 2 600 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
According to consumers, fastening the walking level Fischer Tour Step-in is one of the best instances in your class. Made under the IFP platform interface, they have a good fixing effect and do not impede the correct transmission of skiing efforts. Used primarily under the classic riding style - it also contributes to the rigidity of the attachment, and the instructions for use.
No less pleasant fact is that Fischer Tour Step-in IFP is installed and adjustable without applying any additional tools. Cost, given the general trend of the market, excellent, especially due to the charges of fixings for a long service life.

1 Salomon Prolink Pro Skate
Easy and reliability of the fasteners. Ultra low weight
Country: France
Average price: 4 499 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9
Prolink fasteners line was developed by Salomon for 2017/18 racing season. It presents 12 models among which children's, pleasure and sports. It is important that their mounting holes coincide with the rest of the firm models of this company. Pro Skate is designed for cross-country skiing and ensures maximum movement control due to the high transmission coefficient. Among the design features of the model is a low-profile compound of the sole of a boot with fastening and composite guide ribs.
In feedback and reviews, the equipment "About Skate" invariably receives positive assessments.

Best Mounting Skiings
4 marker kingpin 13
Best performance on descents among PIN fasteners
Country: Czech Republic
The average price: 35 490 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.6
Kingpin13 Scristems is one of the few solutions for all occasions. The model with full right can enter the only set of equipment for riding on the tracks on the resorts and the passage of routes by rough terrain beyond. In the best way, it shows itself on the descents, while maintaining the effectiveness of PIN-mechanisms in the touring mode, but remaining one of the lightest in its class: a pair of fasteners without skistops weighs less than 1.5 kg. In addition, the design is famous for unsurpassed strength, in addition it is certified according to DIN / ISO standards and is compatible with all shoes with Pintech inserts.
At the same time, in Russian-and-English forums, you can find a lot of custom complaints about the breakdown in the head of the model. When they become a mass, the manufacturer voluntarily withdrawn its products with serial number 340973 - 411727 and finalized the design with its own errors. The model in today's execution is devoid of problems and let it take the last place in its nomination, but with a very small margin.
3 Atomic Warden MNC 13
Compatibility with all standard boots
Country: Austria (produced in Romania)
The average price: 15 430 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7
In the mechanism of Atomic Warden MNC 13, the power and accuracy needed on any track are combined with progressive transmission of energy, important for riding on loose snow. The model is equipped with the same platform as the Tracker series, with the difference that the manufacturer certified it according to the MNC standard (Multi Norm Compatibel). This means that the mountings of the Warden are suitable for the soles of all standard DIN, Touring, Gripwalk and WTR style boots. Thus, they can be considered the best choice when one inventory is required for two types of skiing - mountain and backcountry.
Another incomprehensible plus design is equipped with self-protecting skistops of the Freeski Brakes system. On the one hand, these devices do not give an athlete to be injured when falling, on the other - automatically prevent engagement when landing back forward. If the width of the skistops is not suitable, they can be easily changed. In general, attachments fully justify the positioning by the manufacturer as a model for the expert riding level.
2 Salomon Guardian MNC 16L
The most technological set of fixtures
Country: France
The average price: 20 990 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
One of the most advanced and expensive fastening models in the Salomon assortment. Ideal for a dynamic, somewhat aggressive freeride and backed, ensures reliable foot fixing and accurate transmission of effort to Kant.
The main feature of the GUARDIAN MNC 16L model is based on Multi Norm Certified (MNC) technology, which provides a high degree of fittings. They are compatible with a huge amount of boot with WTR, Alrine Touring and Alpine. The trigger force varies in the range from 7 to 16 din, the height of the sock and the site width is automatically adjustable. If it were not for the proceedable value, justifying themselves only with a professional skiing skiing, Guardian MNC 16L could easily qualify for the title of the most popular attachment.
1 Rossignol Pivot 14 Dual WTR B115
Higher quality of manufacture
Country: France
The average price: 17 565 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9
Rossignol Pivot 14 Dual WTR B115 can be called the benchmark among the ski fasteners of the highest level of execution. This kit was built on the basis of Dual Standard technology, which involves the possibility of interference with the soles of two standards - WTR and classical. The trigger force varies in the range from 5 to 14 DIN - a great result for a professional model.
Special love of consumers enjoy the technology of reinforcement of the nasal part of Full Action, which provides optimal power and (associated with a rotary heel) depreciation. This fact largely determines the use of Pivot 14 Dual WTR B115 for Freeride, purely aggressive descents on the slopes of various profiles, as well as for freestyle. The cost of fixings can be very strongly hit by ordinary consumer wallets. And not with simple, since the new Pivot model is intended exclusively for professional skiers.
Best ski mounts for children (mountain and cross-country)
3 Larsen AUTO.
Low price. Automatic unchending system
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 557 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.0
Each skier is important to choose fasteners that correspond to its level of preparation. So, children who are just starting to ride, need to install on a weak DIN force so that the skis fall quickly in case of a sharp increase in the load. They are perfectly suitable inexpensive, but at the same time a reliable model Larsen AUTO in the size of M. It is equipped with a lever, allowing a hand or pressure of a ski stick to open a clamp to free legs. In addition, the opening can be played automatically.
In the reviews, the mechanism put a confident "four", positively characterizing its cost, ease of use and quality of execution. Fixing the boot is ensured quickly, however, the holes are narrows, and sometimes you have to use the power to insert and pull them out. The problem may appear in the case when snow is closed under the fixing button - in this case it is difficult to sweat off the shoes from the sizes.
2 Fischer XC Junior
Higher degree of reliability
Country: Austria
The average price: 1 600 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
Universal fastening for cross-country skiing for children, suitable both under the ski and under the classic riding style. Support compatibility with all soles of the NNN standard, contribute to ensuring the sustainability and good sensitivity of the track.
Despite the fact that Fischer XC Junior is made of a combination of plastic and carbon, young users and their parents note good operational resistance, under the reputation of Fischer. The fasteners resource is guaranteed to be enough for several seasons, and further maintaining them in a working condition depends largely on the manner of skating a young athlete. With all its grades, it will not be possible to call this kit: it is rarely used on serious competitions, preferring to "uncove" in training and free rental. There are some difficulties with the fixation of the shoe, as it is done manually, but with complete readiness, these problems simply dissipate.
1 Head EVO 9 AC
The best model for the sports school. New 2019.
Country: Austria
The average price: 5 130 rubles.

This is a skiing of HEAD WC I.RACE TEAM with a tight sandwich design of titanal and graphene, which perfectly work in a pair with EVO 9 AC mounts. Together, they are the perfect racing shell for children weighing more than 35 kg, which are successfully engaged in sports school for several seasons.
Among the advantages of this model is the unhappiness of the elements and the safety of the structure. For the last answer, the system developed and patented by HEAD specialists is a complete diagonal of the fasteners. It provides for the release of the ski leg when falling, but requires the correct tightening adjustment ranging from 2.5 to 9 DIN. In addition, EVO 9 AC is equipped with an updated SX head design - it better transfers the force to Karts, provides more accurate control and informative feedback.
The best attachments for hunting skis
1 Mayak
The most reliable and proven set
Country Russia
The average price: 560 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.5
The set of simple ski fasteners "Lighthouse" can be found in almost any hunting store of the country. The main feature of this model is unexpectedly high quality due to the use of the "Living" materials.
The platform for the feet in the fasteners "Lighthouse" is made of rigid rubber, not frozen to the state of fuses at low negative temperatures. In addition, a softer pad is located on the inside of the site, guaranteeing a good hook with a shoe sole with a weak fixation. Heel and sink leather belts, withstanding three or four full-fledged hunting seasons. Sometimes the defective fasteners come across, when used with belts, crosses fly. But there is little terrible in this: such problems are easily eliminated in purely home conditions. Thus, the "lighthouse" is a good representative of fasteners for hunting ski, worthy of getting into the top of the best.
How to choose good ski fasteners
The choice of ski fasteners is conjugate with many difficulties, the main of which is the multi-term of this type of product. In order to choose the right set and not disappointed in the purchase, we recommend that you pay attention to the following parameters:
1. Ski type. This is the easiest and most basic criterion for selecting fixtures. Like skis, they are divided into running and mountainous, each of which have their own features of the structure and options for fixing the boot. Sometimes in a separate group allocated fasteners on hunting models.
2. When choosing ski fastenersthree criteria should be taken into account:
- Fixation method. Ski mounts can be shrinking manually, in a semi-automatic (the post is made manually, and the snatching occurs automatically) and automatically (the stroke occurs with a single press) modes. The more expensive the mount, the more advanced method of fixation.
- The magnitude of the triggering. The criterion showing, with what fastening force may unbuckle. Consult a thoroughly about this with a consultant, since the gradation of the accompanying effort is enough "blurry" thing.
- Skistop.. The system actuating when the skier drops and the release of the attachment shoe. It is a set of metal rods descending automatically in the absence of pressure from the boot. It is desirable that the width of the skistope was somewhat more ski width.
3. When choosing beach Ski Mounts Pay special attention to five aspects:
- Manufacturer. Many skiers advise to look at Alpina, Artex and Salomon products as one of the most advanced in the field of ski fasteners. We, in turn, add Fischer, Rossignol to this list and a number of other firms in the ranking.
- Type of fastening. This parameter was mentioned at the very beginning of the article. Decide, what type of lock is what type you require: front, gutter or two-band ("rail").
- Footwear. The vast majority of the company produces shoes for the installation of SNS and NNN systems - the most universal than N75, fasteners. Preference exactly such a pair of ski boots, and you do not pay anything with the choice.
- View of fasteners. The method of fixing the boot can be automatic and mechanical. If in the first case it is enough just to insert the bracket into the fastening groove to the characteristic click, then in the second cheese the fastener will have to manually. But, contrary to guessing, the mechanical attachments are more reliable and more often from professionals than their automatic "counterparts".
- Rigidity. Depending on the level of rigidity, the fasteners are divided into four types and have their own (general) labeling: white - "hard", green - half-rigid, black - standard, red - "Soft". In general, hard attachments are more sharpened under the ski move, and soft - under the classics. However, for a particular confidence on a specific model, it is better to consult with a specialist.
