The HEAD Protector+ Attack 14 GW Ski Binding brings serious freeride performance together with HEAD’s innovative Full Heel Release (FHR) technology for skiers who charge hard but want an added level of knee protection. The FHR heel provides 180° horizontal and vertical release and can reduce ACL strain by more than 50% in simulated backward-twisting falls, while the 4–14 DIN range delivers the retention advanced and expert skiers need for aggressive skiing. A lower 22.5mm stand height creates a more direct connection to the ski, and the FR PRO 3 toe provides consistent release performance across everything from high-speed groomers to powder, cliffs, and park laps. Compatible with adult Alpine ISO 5355 Type A and GripWalk ISO 23223 Type A boots, the Protector+ Attack 14 GW is a hard-charging freeride and all-mountain ski binding that combines the proven feel of the Attack series with smarter release technology when things don’t go according to plan. .binding-section { margin-top: 32px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; width: 100%; } .binding-section h4 { font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; padding-bottom: 6px; font-weight: 700; } .spec-pill-grid { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit,minmax(170px,1fr)); gap: 12px; margin-bottom: 28px; } .spec-pill { background: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #e5e5e5; border-radius: 10px; padding: 14px; } .spec-pill strong { display: block; font-size: 13px; text-transform: uppercase; color: #666; margin-bottom: 5px; } .spec-pill span { font-size: 15px; font-weight: 600; color: #222; } .feature-card { border: 1px solid #e5e5e5; border-radius: 10px; padding: 18px; margin-bottom: 16px; background: #fff; } .feature-card h4 { margin: 0 0 8px; padding: 0; border: 0; font-size: 18px; } .feature-card p { margin: 0; } .feature-image { display: block; width: 100%; max-width: 427px; height: auto; margin: 0 auto 16px; border-radius: 8px; } .table-scroll-wrapper { width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; margin-top: 18px; } table.full-size-table { width: 100%; min-width: 600px; border-collapse: collapse; } table.full-size-table th, table.full-size-table td { border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 12px; text-align: left; } table.full-size-table th { width: 35%; background: #f5f5f5; font-weight: 700; } @media (max-width:768px){ .spec-pill-grid{ grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr; } } @media (max-width:520px){ .spec-pill-grid{ grid-template-columns:1fr; } } Key Specifications DIN Range 4–14 Skill Level Advanced / Expert Terrain Freeride / All-Mountain Stand Height 22.5 mm Weight 1290 g / binding Boot Compatibility Alpine A / GripWalk A Full Heel Release (FHR) HEAD’s Full Heel Release Technology delivers intelligent 180° release capability horizontally and vertically to provide additional release functionality in forward and backward twisting falls. According to finite element model simulations by the University of Innsbruck, the FHR function can reduce ACL strain by more than 50% in simulated backward-twisting falls. FR PRO 3 Toe The Freeride Pro toe is designed for demanding freeride and all-mountain performance. Its horizontal spring reflects the modern architecture of HEAD’s AAA-Series bindings and provides the retention, response, and downhill performance needed for aggressive skiing. HR PRO Heel The HR PRO heel combines HEAD’s high-performance binding design with Full Heel Release technology, providing the strong retention required by aggressive skiers while adding multidirectional heel release capability when certain falls occur. GripWalk Compatible Compatible with adult Alpine boots meeting ISO 5355 Type A and adult GripWalk boots meeting ISO 23223 Type A standards, giving skiers the flexibility to use modern GripWalk-equipped boots without sacrificing downhill binding performance. Lower Stand Height A 22.5mm stand height places the skier closer to the ski for a more direct connection and natural feel. The lower platform complements the Protector+ Attack’s freeride-focused design while maintaining the power transmission needed for aggressive skiing.
