By Ranked #1397 - Telemark Skiing April 21, 2009

I am trying to figure out whether to buy the O1 or the O2 and which size. I mainly ski at the area but will be touring about 1 out of every 7 days or so. I am not too aggressive with my turns. I'm 120 lbs and my boot size is 24.5. I just bought the BD Joule (my first fat skis!) and want some bindings to go on these for powder days. I have the She's piste with G3's right now and love them. I don't know if I need the O1's or if the O2's will work for me.
Thanks for the help!

If you're willing to spend a little more, the O1 is the binding for you. Even if you don't tour that much, having free pivot at your fingertips (or your pole-tips) is incredibly convenient. The instant you start on the uphill you'll know why it was worth the money.
