Who it's for: Skiers in the 49–100kg range who want the full hike-and-ride capability of the Shift² at a DIN setting that suits them. Well suited to lighter advanced skiers and intermediates moving into backcountry touring — if you're skiing at DIN 10 or above, the Shift² 13 is the better fit.

The Armada Shift² 10 uses the same hike-and-ride mechanism as the 13 and 16 — tech pin toe in walk mode, full DIN alpine toe on the descent — tuned for a lower DIN range. Flip the switch, the pins retract, and you're in a TÜV-certified alpine binding. At 915g per binding it's the lightest model in the Shift² family, covering the DIN range most intermediate and lighter advanced skiers actually use. The binding is designed by Salomon and built by Amer — identical internals to the Salomon S/LAB version, in Armada's colourway.

Like the rest of the Shift² range, it carries the Power Block AFD — a single-block aluminum insert that holds its height setting through a full season without the creep the original Shift was known for — and a revised brake lock system. Multi-Norm certified, it accepts Alpine (ISO 5355), GripWalk (ISO 23223), and Touring (ISO 9523) boot soles. Touring boots require tech inserts at the toe for walk mode engagement.
