Black Diamond ClipWire Ski Leash

I don't know how you're rigging these if they're coming off, but it's never happened to me, and I've taken some gnarly crashes. OK, when I say never, really I mean that the only time it's ever happened to me is when I caught a ski on a gate and my binding popped and it ripped the rivet out of my boot. So that doesn't count. A leash is a very basic piece of equipment, it has to hold your skis on. This one does that without fail and is designed by the geniuses at BD so you can put it on and take it off with gloves on. Perfect.

On a side note, clipping someone's leashes to their opposite boot while they're standing somewhere is, though tricky, priceless.

I don't think any tele skier enjoys having to hook into a leash, it's just a manual task we've all become accustomed to that seems to take more energy than 200 lunges downhill. I'm in and out of my bindings 10 times a day doing patrol chores, so I've become picky about the leashes I use. I switch between two pairs of skis, one with the G3 leash and one with the BD leash. I can consistently get in and out of the BD leashes with my gloves on and without hassle. I spend about half the time with them as I do with the G3 leashes. They are easy and reliable. I'm replacing the G3 leashes with the BD leashes.

Not only are these stylee and burly, but they also are the most functional. The coping around the cable keeps them stiff, unlike the floppy and crappy G3 15 pound clasps. They are twice as burly as the Voile leashes. For those who say they come undone. Try one of two things: Alpine Trekkers, or snowboarding. Maybe they come off with smaller boots or side-mount leashes. I love 'em.

Simple wire-gate clip design is easy to use with your gloves on. Huge plus. I use them with O1's and O2's with Scarpa T1 boots and the length is just right. The leashes don't get in the way. However, The plastic coating has gotten brittle and come off the cable on one of them, but this doesn't affect how well they work.

These leashes are certainly well made and hold up nicely to abuse. They are a bit awkward using with the leash clip location on the T1's but that has more to do with the location of that on those boots. Once they are on, they work fine. They work great on other boots. A good investment. Better than a runaway ski.

Been using these for a while now. Nothing negative to say about them, they're easy to get on and off never had any problems with icing and also stay out of the way. Not much more you can say or ask for in a cable leash. Taken some brutal falls on them as well and no problems at all.

Much better than most others as far as quick in and out. Havent come unclipped on me. A note, I have a sz. 31 boot and at first didnt think these would fit. I gave them a chance and they are literally perfect with almost not extra leash to get caught and send me for a ride.

they work great! very easy to put on and take off with gloves on. my only negative observation is the plastic wire sleeve has begun to tear on a pair that are only used one season. i recently got some for my wife and another pair for myself. we'll see how they perform.

I bought these ski leashes for use with my Voile bindings and Size 280 from Scarpa T1s.
They were not convenient long enough to clip on to the boot's D-ring.
Perfect Product? ...but should 2-3cm longer, I mounted an additional ring (normally for keys) and I´m very happy with this high quality product.

I have been using these for about 30 ski days. They are a breeze to use, I can clip and unclip very quickly even with my gloves on. I have not run into any problems at all and they are the perfect length for BD O1's with BD boots (surprisingly.)
