PLUM Guide Leash: Ultralight Security for Your Backcountry Adventures

Experience unparalleled peace of mind and minimalist efficiency on your ski touring expeditions with the PLUM Guide Leash. As a premier accessory for the discerning backcountry skier, this leash system is the definitive choice for those who prioritize weight savings, reliability, and safety above all else. Designed as a high-performance alternative to traditional ski brakes, the Guide Leash ensures your skis stay with you in the event of a fall, preventing a lost ski and a potentially hazardous end to your day in the mountains.

For the dedicated ski tourer and mountaineer, every gram counts. The PLUM Guide Leash is engineered with an ultralight philosophy, tipping the scales at a mere 60 grams for the pair. This significant weight reduction compared to ski brakes translates directly into less fatigue on the ascent, allowing you to conserve precious energy for a more powerful and enjoyable descent. By shedding unnecessary weight from your setup, you can move faster, travel further, and push your limits with greater confidence.

Security is the core function of the Guide Leash. In the unpredictable terrain of the backcountry, a fall can easily result in a ski detaching and sliding hundreds of meters away down a steep, inaccessible slope. The Guide Leash provides a simple, robust, and foolproof connection between your binding and your boot. This set includes a pair of leashes, each equipped with a durable and easy-to-use snap hook that securely fastens to the leash attachment point on your ski touring boot. The other end attaches seamlessly to your PLUM binding, creating a reliable tether that performs flawlessly in all conditions, from deep powder to icy crust, where ski brakes can sometimes fail or become clogged.

Beyond simple retention, the PLUM Guide Leash is intelligently designed with a critical safety feature: a precisely calculated rupture point. The leash is engineered to withstand the forces of a typical fall, but will break away under an extreme load of approximately 70 kg. This is a crucial design element intended to protect the skier from severe leg or ankle injuries that could be caused by a ski being anchored to the body during a high-force event, such as getting caught in an avalanche or a powerful twisting fall. This thoughtful engineering provides security without compromising your personal safety.

Simple, effective, and incredibly lightweight, the PLUM Guide Leash is the ultimate accessory for optimizing your touring setup. It eliminates the fiddle factor of ski brakes during transitions and offers superior reliability in challenging alpine environments. Upgrade your ski binding system and embrace the lightweight freedom and unwavering security that only a purpose-built leash can provide.
