We were lucky enough to get our hands on the New ATK Hy Free, the new hybrid binding from ATK coming to North America in February 2025. Building on bindings like the Salomon Shift and Duke PT, the Hy Free is a true hybrid binding meant to handle the rigors of resort skiing. Unlike it's competitors' takes on a hybrid touring bindings however, the Hy Free keeps it comparatively light at 675 grams and is a much better touring platform.
After our Review of the ATK Hy Free, we were impressed with the downhill performance, which was comparable to high performance alpine bindings. We were also blown away by the quality of manufacturing, which for anyone familiar with ATK shouldn't be a surprise. Our first impression of the binding was overwhelmingly positive, and we look forward to putting many more days on the Hy, both in backcountry and resort settings.
