Abstract
The combination of a binding and boot is provided. The binding has a pair of pistons ( ) extending under the boot. Each piston is stressed by a spring ( ). The arms of a sole clamp ( ) act on these pistons. The pistons are connected together by a linking device ( ). The combination magnetically controls the linking device which is capable of occupying a first position, in which the pistons arc secured by the linking device, and a second position in which one of the pistons is able to move on its own, at least over a certain travel common to the two pistons. The combination thus provides asymmetrical release resistance.
