Black Diamond O1 Telemark Ski Binding DO NO TUSE
April 26, 2009
I have both long and short climbing wires mounted and was glad to have both on a recent Haute Route tour in Switzerland. They are difficult to move with a ski pole though (especially up) and usually required reaching down and doing by hand - a bit of a pain but not a big deal unless you are randonee racing. The heel was the only negative aspect of the O1 bindings

Black Diamond O1 Telemark Ski Binding DO NO TUSE
April 26, 2009
I just got back from doing the Haute Route on these bindings and they were awesome. The free pivot touring mode was a godsend - especially while executing kick turns on really steep climbs like the Col du Chardonnet and Col du Mont Brule. They locked down with a tap of the ski pole for descents - the best tele bindings I've ever used

G3 Expedition Climbing Skins
April 3, 2009
best option are skin savers - basically a nylon mesh half the length of the skin. You fold the skin in half with the mesh in between - they still stick together and are easy to pack away but are also easier to pull apart again and it supposedly saves the adhesive

Mountain Hardwear Synchro Bib - Men's
November 24, 2008
On the Mountain Hardwear Synchro Bib, are there side zips? It looks like there are in the photo, the description for the Synchro Pants says there are side zips, but the description for the Synshro Bib says no - can you clarify?
