Brake width refers to the width of the ski brake, which prevents your skis from sliding away when you're not wearing them. Choosing the right brake width is crucial because it should match the width of your skis. For example, a brake width of 70mm is designed for skis that are up to 70mm wide at the waist. If the brake is too narrow, it won't stop your skis effectively; if it's too wide, it may not fit properly.

PLUM R120, R150, and R170 are specific models of ski bindings that connect your boots to your skis. Each model is designed for different skiing styles and preferences. The R120 is lighter and great for ski mountaineering, while the R150 and R170 offer more stability for downhill skiing. Consider your skiing style and the terrain you'll be on to choose the best binding for your needs.

The claimed weight indicates how heavy the equipment is, which can significantly impact your skiing experience. For instance, lighter equipment, like the 2.1-ounce ski brakes, can make it easier to maneuver and reduce fatigue during long days on the slopes. If you're into ski mountaineering, lighter gear is especially beneficial for climbing and descending efficiently.

Ski mountaineering is a sport that combines skiing and climbing, allowing you to ascend mountains on skis and then ski down. It requires specialized equipment, including lightweight skis, bindings like the PLUM models, and safety gear. If you're interested in exploring backcountry areas, make sure to invest in gear designed for this activity to ensure safety and performance.

Maximum runner length refers to the maximum width of the ski base that is compatible with your bindings. For example, if the maximum runner length is 68.5mm, your skis should not exceed this width for the bindings to function properly. Ensuring compatibility is essential for safety and optimal performance on the slopes.

To ensure compatibility, check the specifications of your skis, bindings, and brakes. Look for matching brake widths, maximum runner lengths, and binding models that suit your skiing style. If you're unsure, consult with a knowledgeable retailer or refer to the manufacturer's guidelines to make sure all your equipment works well together for a safe and enjoyable skiing experience.
