G3's innovative Ski Leash designs have quickly become standard equipment with high performance skiers as well as backcountry skiers alike. The glove-friendly latches and generous lengths of coated cable make them easy to use. Available in a robust thumb trigger metal clasp or an ultra-light, yet super strong plastic pinch clip. In 1995 G3's founder, Oliver Steffen, developed his first product. He followed one fundamental rule: G3 gear must be true "guide gear". That product was an innovative, and dependable avalanche probe that set a new standard for function and reliability in the backcountry ski market. Since then, G3's team has steadily raised the bar for backcountry gear, with innovations including the TARGA telemark binding, High Performance Climbing Skins, AviTECH shovel, and Bonesaw. Each of these products has been developed and tested for guides and avalanche professionals; essentials in the professional's kit that must be strong, light, reliable, and functional. Our newest product innovation is one inspired by many years of combining skiing experience and product design. After two full years of intensive market research, development, and testing, G3 Skis are now available
