Historically, the lack of backcountry equipment designed for children was a convenient excuse to leave them behind for some much-needed alone time in the backcountry. Unfortunately (fortunately?), ATK is blowing this excuse out of the water with the introduction of the ATK Candy 5. While bindings designed for smaller skiers traditionally have been relatively clunky affairs, the Candy 5 takes all the design features found on adult bindings and have applied them to a, shall we say, sweet binding dedicated to skiers less than 40kg (88 pounds for you Kingophiles). The result is an easy-to-use, simple, and lightweight binding that will allow your kiddos to fully enjoy their backcountry experience. And with the 50mm of heel adjustment, there is room to accommodate the larger and larger boots that are sure to come. If you are looking to give your kids the same backcountry experience you crave, the ATK Candy 5 wont let you down.
