Lightweight Pin Touring Binding

Plum Oazo II Touring Binding

The Plum Oazo II Touring Binding is a light, machined-aluminum pin binding for ski tourers who log long days and want more release control than a race binding without carrying much more weight. Lateral release adjusts from 4 to 10, and vertical release is fixed at 4, 6 or 8 depending on the version, so a skier picks the spring that matches their weight and skiing. At 200 g per binding with 25 mm of boot length adjustment, climbing heights of 40 and 54 mm reachable from ski mode and an optional brake, the Oazo II suits long tours, ski mountaineering and spring missions.

Why We Like It

  • Vertical release comes in three fixed versions, 4, 6 or 8, so the spring can match the skier instead of one value fitting everyone.
  • A roller on the toe plate makes the toe lever easier to lock and unlock and reduces wear on the locking surfaces over seasons of use.
  • Both climbing heights, 40 and 54 mm, flip up from the ski position, so steep transitions do not require turning the heel to a separate mode.
  • At 212 g per binding with 25 mm of length adjustment, the Oazo II stays light while still fitting more than one pair of boots.

Best Uses

  • Long ski tours
  • Ski mountaineering
  • Spring and corn missions
  • Lightweight touring skis up to 110 mm underfoot
  • Skiers moving up from race bindings

Mounting and Setup Advice

Choose the version by vertical release: 4, 6 or 8. A shop should check which value suits your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type before you order, then set lateral release from 4 to 10 after mounting. The vertical value cannot be changed later without swapping the spring.

The brake is optional and attaches with a single fastener 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 at the toe and heel.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Plum Oazo II Touring Binding?
The Plum Oazo II Touring Binding suits ski tourers who want a light, durable pin binding with lateral release from 4 to 10 and a fixed vertical release chosen at 4, 6 or 8. At 212 g per binding, the Oazo II works for long tours and ski mountaineering.
What boots work with the Plum Oazo II Touring Binding?
The Oazo II is a pin/tech binding and works with boots that have certified tech (pin) inserts, typically ISO 9523 (Touring) soles. Boots without tech inserts, including ISO 5355 (Alpine) and GripWalk (ISO 23223) boots without inserts, are not compatible. Check your boot for tech inserts at the toe and heel before ordering.
Which Oazo II version should I choose?
Pick by vertical release: 4, 6 or 8. Lighter skiers generally use a lower value and heavier or more aggressive skiers a higher one. A shop should confirm the right value for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type before you order.
Can I add a brake to the Oazo II?
Yes. The Oazo II can run brakeless with a leash, or take a Plum brake in 80, 90, 100 or 110 mm that attaches with a single fastener.
What changed from the original Oazo?
The Oazo II adds a smaller toe lever with a roller on the toe plate for easier locking and less wear, a lighter contoured length track that keeps 25 mm of adjustment, and metal-injection-molded small parts for stiffness.
How much does the Oazo II weigh?
200 g per binding without a brake.

Our Verdict

The Plum Oazo II Touring Binding keeps the original Oazo's light, simple formula and refine it: a roller toe lever, a lighter length track and risers you can flip from ski mode, at 200 g per binding. Lateral release adjusts from 4 to 10, and vertical release is fixed at 4, 6 or 8 by version, so the choice of version matters. Skiers who want adjustable vertical release should look elsewhere; tourers who want a light binding built to last should start here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What foot shape works best?

Low- to medium-volume feet with a lower instep and secure heel.
Does it punch well?

Minor boot fitting is possible, but race boots are less forgiving to modify than heavier Grilamid touring boots.
