Why We Like It

  • Vertical release is fixed at 4; Plum makes the Oazo in 4, 6 and 8 versions so the spring matches the skier.
  • Climbing heights of 40 and 54 mm flip up from the ski position, and turning the heel 90 degrees gives a flat mode.
  • Machined 7075 aluminum and hardened steel keep the binding light at 200 g per binding without a brake.
  • 25 mm of length adjustment and an optional brake in four widths let one model cover several boots and skis.

Best Uses

  • Long ski tours
  • Ski mountaineering
  • Spring and corn missions
  • Skiers from 35 to 65 kg

Mounting and Setup Advice

Choose the Oazo version by vertical release. Plum lists the Oazo 4 for skiers from 35 to 65 kg; a shop should confirm the fixed value suits your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type, then set lateral release from 4 to 10.

The brake is optional in 80, 90, 100 or 110 mm; without it, ski with a leash. The heel gives 25 mm of length adjustment, and the binding needs boots with certified tech inserts.
