Atomic Tracker 16 WTR Binding - Review

    Atomic Tracker 16 WTR Binding - Review

    “What’s the 16 stand for?” I asked when I was first handed the Atomic Tracker 16 WTR bindings. The reply was that it referred to the Tracker’s DIN setting, which ranges from 7 to 16, and I immediately thought of that scene in Spinal Tap when Nigel describes his new speakers with the volume control that “goes to eleven.” Why would you need speakers that go to 11? Same reason you’d need bindings with a DIN that goes to 16, I suppose. In my opinion there are three types of people in the world who set their DIN to 16: 400-pounders, the dozen skiers who are paid to shred Alaska and punters. Despite the moniker, though, I was excited to try the Atomic Tracker 16s.


    Plenty more to read about over here in the full review and give the video a view below.
