List of products 22 DESIGNS

With their unwavering focus on telemark innovation, Chris Valiante and Collins Pringle founded 22 Designs in 2004. The company has become the world leader in telemark bindings by introducing products such as the Axl free-pivot binding in 2009, followed by the Vice and the world's first NTN step-in binding, the Outlaw X, which has a true free-pivot. Their latest binding, the Lynx, is a lightweight, tech-tipped touring telemark binding designed specifically for backcountry adventurers. The company's name refers to Wyoming Highway 22, which runs through Teton Pass, a popular backcountry skiing area and one of Chris and Collins' favorite places to hit the slopes.

We are proud to introduce our lightweight NTN tech-toe touring binding, known as the Lynx. This binding features composite flex plates, preload and flex adjustments, and a lightweight yet durable design. All aluminum parts are machined and the binding is made in the USA. With its easily interchangeable ski/walk mode and lightweight springs with plenty of travel, the Lynx is the new benchmark in lightweight touring for telemark bindings. We recommend this binding for setups that will spend at least 80-90% of their time in the backcountry.

The tech-toe design allows skiers to hike without having to lift the weight of the binding, allowing them to keep up with alpine skiers in spandex gear. The Lynx also offers the durability and smooth, powerful tele turns skiers have come to expect from 22 Designs.

Switching to free pivot mode is as simple as pressing a button, while ski mode can be easily activated with the poles once you reach the top. Then simply remove the skins and head downhill!

The Lynx 22 model offers an improved claw action, with a lift lip making it easy to flip the claw with your pole handle at the top of the skintrack. The binding also features low-profile, double-beveled arms to reduce weight and longer springs for added durability. The Small Lynx model now has a softer flex with softer main and flex plates.

As mechanical engineers and telemark skiers, Chris and Collins strive to produce the best telemark bindings on the market. Their company is environmentally friendly and manufactures each binding in the United States with sustainable materials designed to last a lifetime. In 2021, they installed a solar panel on their roof, covering 100% of their annual production, R&D and office power consumption. In 2020, 22 Designs joined the Outdoor Industry Association's Climate Action Corps and the Snowsports Industry Association's ClimateUnited to significantly reduce the carbon emissions of their products. The company continues to look for new ideas to produce bindings that exceed their customers' expectations.
