Howell Test Fixture (sm)

$1,500.00

Optional — to provide bespoke additional lateral-heel release-settings for Howell Ski Bindings.

Available now.

Howell Test Fixture (sm) can be used to validate, demonstrate and calibrate bespoke, additional, lateral-heel settings for Howell Ski Bindings.

Lateral-heel release is not rotational-heel release: no boot can pass laterally thru the side-lugs of a turntable / pivot heel. This is why turntable / pivot heels can cause ACL, MCL, meniscus, and tibial-plateau injury.

Lateral-heel release together with lateral-heel release-settings that are generated through the use of the Howell Test Fixture — can provide enhanced, personalized ACL, MCL, meniscus, and tibia integrity during alpine skiing. No binding, including Howell Ski Bindings, can completely eliminate ACL, MCL, meniscus and tibia injury. Detailed instructions included.
