Ignition II: Backcountry Magazine Editor’s Choice:

The Ignition II is now available in two sizes, see below for sizing information.

Just unveiled in the spring of 2008, the Ignition II binding is built around the Bent Metal Restraint binding. The Restraint features:

• A comfy full plastic highback with a series of holes that conveniently allow for use of a booster strap near the top of your boot. Use of a booster strap can decrease edging fatigue while on longer tours.
• Lower profile hardware.
• The same amazing cube and straps as the Missionary binding.

Price: $365

We’ve added a size small to our line. Click the picture below to compare dimensions between the large and small. Check these against your boot, keep in mind some space is taken up by the strap and highback hardware. The small size small binding is 1/4″ (.6 cm) narrower than the large with toe and highback mounts for smaller feet.  The size smalls are available in similar color combinations as our current bindings, and are built around the Bent Metal Restraint binding parts (same parts as the current Ignition II’s). On the other end of the spectrum, we have several customers with men’s size 13 (34cm) feet on our size large models.
