I first learned to ski on Rottafellas and K2 Super Stinx, and bought these G3 bindings to put on the K2 Piste Pipes. At first the G3 binding felt sloppy, but after time, I realized that I was sloppy. As I've gained experience, I've realized there is a lot of feel and touch in this binding, you can micro-adjust your stance and immediately feel the difference. My Rottafellas don't have that same feel. I think the G3 is a great binding for anyone who wants to experiment with their stance and improve. I ski it hard on the ice, bumps and in powder and it does everything I ask of it. I have snapped a cable at the hinge in the toe piece, due to the metal hoop getting banged and becoming sharp. The replacement cable is about $15.

No Complaints. Add the climbing wires and you can go about anywhere.

If you are asking me if you should get this binding, then yes. If you are asking me if I like it, then yes. If you want to know if it if functional, works well and holds-up overall, then yes. Use this binding!

The Targa T9 is a fantastic binding for Touring. The light weight and 'tour' mode of the heel through makes for easy touring up and a quick transition at the top. This binding is not as active as other bindings which can be felt at the resorts.

This is an excellent binding...If you are a quasi aggressive skier that doesn't weigh that much and has a super light boot.I am neither of these... I have broken countless toe plates. I've talked with G3 with hope that they will beef up the toe plates. This binding still is the best in the biz though.

I have just switched over to telemarking, so my view is from a beginner’s standpoint. Thus far, it's incredible. This binding is super easy to mount, I have it adapted to a Voile release kit using the G3 adapter plate. Also, very easy to get into. I feel as if I can make a parallel turn with just as much strength and control as I can in a normal downhill set up, which is nice when you need to bail out occasionally when you're at my low level of skill. Never do I ever feel detached from the ski or feel as if I'm wobbling.

Second pair of G3s. These binding are solid without any problems. Wouldn't take anything else into the backcountry.

Good choice for me. I mounted them on a pair of Karhu Jak skis, 172 cm. I had skied a series of 4 and 5 Riva bindings, and the Targa is a lot more supportive and stable. I have ten days in, and not a single spontaneous release in crud and deep powder. Lots of lateral support for alpine turns.
