Flexi PLATEAU Polar Ski Binding
When strength and weight matter
Flexi Plateau is a unique binding designed to suit any flexible soled footwear, from a polar boot to a running shoe. Using the same plastic plates we use in our Ultima System, we've dispensed with the sidewalls and used a harness system to keep your boots housed securely. It's lightweight, easy to use and robust.

Why Flexi Plateau?
Made from the same robust plastic used in our Ultima System bindings, Plateau is simple, strong and secure. Use it to zip down to the local store, as an approach setup for alpine climbing or on a South Pole expedition. With an easily adjustable boot harness, it adapts to a multitude of footwear shapes and sizes, from kids to adults, and at less than 650 grams per pair, you'll hardly know they're on your feet.
Base Plate
Each base plate is laser-cut from a single sheet of 6mm ultra-high density polyethylene - strength and flex are unaffected by the coldest temperatures on Earth and we back it with our lifetime warranty. The slot pattern allows strap configuration for a multitude of boot shapes and sizes.
Boot Harness
Flexi Plateau's boot harness is simple, easy to adjust in the field and adaptable to any footwear shape or size.
Heel Retainer
The Spectra heel retainer keeps your boot in the binding, passing through floating buckles on the straps and allowing self-equalizing of the heel retainer angle. A pull tab on the rear of the retainer makes for easy positioning on your heel, even with gloves on.
Heel Locators
A circular heel plate mounted under the binding aligns with the rear drainage hole. This unique feature keeps your boot squarely over the ski, maximising ski edging, turning and traction.
Fasteners
Flexi Plateau is secured to your ski using an aluminium anodised mounting plate and four Posi-Driv screws.
Compatible with Multi-Shim
Flexi Plateau is also compatible with the Multi-Shim and Heel Shim, which is the preferred method for eliminating ankle roll, available as accessories. The Shim Set is available at 30% off when bought together with Plateau.

Flexi Plateau can be configured to suit any size and shape boot. Select your configuration when you order and your Plateau's will be delivered to suit your boots. You can also reconfigure the straps yourself to suit different boots. Watch the instructional video above.
Wide: polar boots*, winter boots, snowboarding boots, XXL shoes.
Regular: hiking boots, approach shoes, running shoes, mountaineering boots,
Narrow: slender footwear, XXS and children's footwear
Measure the width at the heel (approx 30mm from the back of your boot) and the width at the ball (approx 200mm from the back of your boot) and match it with one of the configuration diagrams below.
Differential Fit
If neither of the widths match your boots, ie. you are wide at the heel, but regular at the ball, specify the heel width and sole width here and we will configure your Plateaus accordingly.
Alternatively you can order Plateau bindings unassembled and you can configure them yourself (and it's cheaper).
* extra wide soles such as those on Baffin's Polar Series are better suited to Flexi Oversize.
