Our WILDER Saga
Our Wilder saga includes 3 skis with different widths: 85 / 95 / 102 in order to offer a skate width for every type of ski tourer.
The Wilder 85, which remains the most versatile width for practicing on all types of terrain, is the ideal ski for beginning ski touring off the beaten track.
The Wilder 95, with its straighter lines for maximum grip on slopes and steep inclines.
The Wilder 102, for free-riders in search of combes.

60mm adjustment range.
DIN adjustment on rear stop: from 4 to 10.
Almonte 10 mounting: adjustment range
The binding is mounted on a plate that allows the length of the binding to be adjusted by 60mm. This means it can be adapted to a maximum number of foot sizes.
The plate is mounted according to a custom-made mounting plan to suit everyone's needs.
This mounting allows you to lend your skis and change boot sizes,
This is a great advantage when it comes to simply introducing people to ski touring.

ski length = 154 cm and 161 cm
Shoe shell length 252 => 310 mm
ski length = 168 cm
Shoe shell length 262 => 320 mm

Shoe shell length 282 => 340 mm
Adjustment requires a Phillips screwdriver. We recommend in-store adjustment to ensure the correct distance between the back of your boot and the binding.
Use of bindings: Up/Down
For uphill skiing:
To lock the ski stop, turn the rear stop to the right by a quarter-turn, then press the plastic part of the ski stop with your boot to lock it.
The uphill wedges can be easily manipulated, without taking off your boots and with the pole, in 3 positions, one flat and 2 uphill positions. The steeper the slope, the higher the wedge level.
Using the bindings: Up/Down (continued)
Downhill:
return to the initial position of the backgauge by performing the reverse quarter-turn.
Ski stop :
If you wish, you can remove the ski stop. To do so, remove the rear hold-down from the binding and pull out the ski stop.
Assembly: Heel support Fixation
If you'd like to improve the handling of your skis, you can position a plastic piece on the back of the binding to give you good support on the binding at heel level. You'll then have direct contact with your boot through the binding (choose from 3 thicknesses, the one that best matches the thickness of your boot).
The skins
The skins offered with the Wilder 85 skis are cut to the size and width of the ski.
They are composed of 70% Mohair and 30% synthetic, the best compromise between glide (on the ascent to limit effort) and grip (on the ascent to limit the recoil effect).
The skins are fitted with an elastic band at the front for quick attachment to the tip, and an adjustable camlock at the rear to lock the skin to the heel of the ski.

Lightweight Paulownia wood core with fiberglass reinforcement.

How to choose the right ski size?
The shorter the skis, the more maneuverable they are, especially during conversions.
For this reason, beginners are advised to choose shorter skis.
In general, for ski touring, we recommend choosing skis:
from -5cm to -10cm below your height.
The length can also vary according to the terrain:
On marked trails: -5cm to -15cm below your height,
In the mountains: 0 to -10cm below your height.
Ski touring :
Make your own tracks and create your own itinerary far from the ski resorts.
Go back down where the snow seems best and the slope least exposed to avalanche risk.
Authentic ski touring.
You're evolving in a wild mountain environment, you need to master your movements, prepare your outings and know your avalanche safety equipment.
Don't go out alone.
Payment in 3 instalments is possible from a basket value of CHF 50 and requires the approval of our partner CembraPay. You will be able to choose this method of payment, and consult the terms and conditions and applicable fees when finalizing your order.
