Protector
Recommended by your knees.
Thanks to the innovative FULL HEEL RELEASE function, the PROTECTOR binding can reduce ACL strain by more than 50%*. This can significantly reduce or mitigate the risk of knee injuries and injuries below the knee.

Key Facts
Recommended by your knees
With knee injuries making up 34% of skiing injuries, the PROTECTOR binding is designed to tackle the most common and serious risk in skiing. In particular, additional studies have shown that women are two to three times more likely to injure the knee and ligaments than men (see Senner et al. 2014, bfu Report No. 69, Bern).
Backward twisting falls
75% of all knee injuries are caused by backward twisting falls. PROTECTOR can lower release values by more than 50% in these situations.
Full Heel Release (FHR) function
Intelligent 180° release both horizontally and vertically ensuring maximum safety in forward and backward twisting fall situations.
Reducing ACL Strain
Unlike conventional bindings, PROTECTOR releases both laterally and vertically at the heel, and can reduce ACL strain by more than 50%*.

Independently confirmed
Studies from the University of Innsbruck confirm PROTECTOR’s ability to reduce forces on the tibia and ACL.
How does it work
1. Low, short-term forces are absorbed by PROTECTOR's 7 mm of bilateral travel. Benefit: This elasticity avoids pre-releases.
2. Higher forces that exceed the release setting will move the heel the full 7 mm at which point PROTECTOR rotates open by 30° to release the ski boot.
Ready for the slopes
The Protector PR and SLR models are the perfect choice for all piste skiers, whether young or old, beginner or advanced.
Ready for the park
The PROTECTOR Attack LYT 13 GW combines the innovative Full Heel Release technology with the lightness and performance of the Attack LYT series.
