Looking for comfort and performance on a rubber binding?
Well, ..... this is the binding choice of Nate Smith.
Why? The T-Factor is pretty stiff on the side, so it gives perfect lateral support.
The T Factor is a combination of the best rubber has to offer - combined with an overlay that gives you that hardshell response.
Think of it like an inside out hardshell with all the natural feel of the rubber gripping your foot on the inside offering better sensory feedback, and all the lateral support of a hardshell being between the overlay layers of the wrap and laces.
Your foot stays flatter in this boot, giving you better balance, and a natural strong foundation and stance. Traditional hardshells can ‘cradle’ your foot - side to side - which can diminish your ability to control ski roll.
Have trouble staying over your front foot on the ski? The T Factor places your foot and ankle in a naturally athletic stance and helps hold you there. The fore and aft support is better than any other binding on the market. Edge changes and tip engagement into and through the turns are enhanced with this type of support. More ankle flex means the hips stay centered over the ankles better making turns tighter and acceleration easier.
The new T Factor comes with a TPU material where the boot stretches making the new version more robust for a longer life. TPU exhibits characteristics of durability, flexibility, and excellent tensile strength.
Our new version of the T Factor has brought back the overlay flex relief slits allowing flex and control with the ability to move freely. The extra-large opening with the front lace system makes the binding easier to put on and take off.
Tighten the laces … ski it … and feel that special connection with your ski that only the T Factor can provide.
