Head E-Absolute Joy (Protector 10 GW System Binding) Womens Ski Package 2026

The 2026 Women's Head E-Absolute Joy Skis with Protector 10 GW Ski Package is engineered to provide confidence, stability, and an extra layer of protection on every run. Featuring an 80mm waist, these skis offer a stable platform that excels at carving groomed trails while remaining nimble enough to explore variable snow off of the main runs. The advanced LYT Tech construction utilizes a blend of Graphene and a lightweight wood composite core to keep the weight down without sacrificing strength or response. What sets this model apart is the integrated Energy Management Circuit (EMC F), which uses a ceramic piezo plate to filter out unwanted vibrations, ensuring a smooth ride even on firmer snow. Paired with the Protector 10 GW bindings, which feature Full Heel Release technology to significantly reduce the risk of knee injury, this setup is focused on keeping you safe and comfortable all day long. To ensure you have everything you need for the mountain, this package includes a set of ski poles and comes with a professional binding installation and a full tune-up from our expert technicians.

The Binding Comes On The Ski

System skis ship with the binding already installed on an integrated rail or plate. The binding is matched to the ski and isn't designed to be removed or swapped for a different model. That's the trade-off for getting a complete ski-and-binding setup at a lower combined price than buying them separately.

Why People Pick Them

Better flex behavior. The plate is engineered to work with this ski's flex pattern, so there's no dead zone under the foot.

Easy boot length adjustment. Most system bindings slide on a rail, so you can fine-tune the mounting position by hand without re-drilling the ski.

Lower price. A system package usually costs 20-30% less than the same ski with a comparable binding mounted aftermarket.

When To Pick A Flat Ski Instead

Want a specific binding model — a particular DIN range, weight, or feature set? Pick a flat ski and the binding you want from our flat ski collection, or grab one of our ski packages that bundle skis, bindings, and poles together at a discount.

In-Store Pickup: Full Setup Included

If you're picking up in store, our backshop adjusts the binding to your boot sole length and performs DIN release testing using your actual boot, free with purchase. This is the standard, safe way to set up a ski binding before its first day on snow.

Online Orders: Adjusted, Not Release-Tested

For shipped orders, we set the binding position to the Boot Sole Length you provide. DIN release testing is not performed on online orders because it requires the customer's actual boot, in person. We strongly recommend taking the ski to any local ski shop for release testing before your first day, or selecting in-store pickup if you live within driving distance. How to find your Boot Sole Length.

Free ground shipping on most orders over $50. 14-day return policy on unused skis in original packaging. Skis that have had the binding repositioned cannot be returned. Full policy.
