The Look Pivot 18 is time-tested, shredder-approved, and was overhauled for this season to be easier to use and better power transfer. These bindings are a top choice for hard-charging freeride/freestyle skiers. It's a powerful binding for those who like to throw down in the park, crank up the DIN, or ski in gnarly terrain where popping out is not an option. The Pivot 18 has a metal reinforced toe piece to ensure maximum boot hold when you're sending it, and consistent release when you need it most. The "turntable" heel is the reason most skiers seek out this binding. The heel piece has more elastic travel than any other binding. This allows for better recovery when you're going big in the park or shredding through deep snow. When you're in a situation that requires your ski boots to remain clicked-in, these bindings help give you some peace of mind. Why do so many skiers trust Look, and only have Look? The toe and heel pieces operate independently of one another. The Pivot heel piece also has the most elastic travel of any heel piece out there. The Salomon STH2 bindings function similarly, but they don’t have the elastic travel in the heel piece. Basically what this mumbo-jumbo means is the toe piece has 180 degrees of release and can release that way regardless of heel piece movement. The toe piece releasing quality is one of the many reasons people go with Knee bindings, but for aggressive skiers – knee bindings can cause pre-release. Pre-release is something that happens less in a pivot binding, you release when you’re supposed to.
