The good folks at Karakoram have been hard at work refining their splitboard products and developing new ones. They recently updated their popular splitboard clips, known as K-clips to feature “adjustable tension” and donated a few sets to our readers.
K-clips incorporate a latch-style design and are known for creating a tight tolerance between splitboard halves, virtually eliminating any slop. New for 2013/14 the K-clips feature a small amount of micro-adjustablity allowing the tension to be fine tuned. Over time the tolerance between splitboard halves can loosen so this new adjustability is welcomed and their effect is noticeable. Post in this thread on our forum for a chance to win a set!

We caught up with Karakoram last winter at the tradeshow, here’s a few pics of the new products.
Along with tweaks and improvements to the line, additional highlights include a new lightweight toe strap called Airstrap (70grams), new carbon-reinforced StraightLine binding (stiff…based on input from Josh Dirksen, Xavier de la Rue, Seth Wescott), women’s Split30 binding, redesigned highbacks/Ride Stride/heelcups, and new Flex-Lock system that adds stiffness while side-hilling.
