The tail rocker can be a pain on kick-turns and are impractical for digging your skis into the snow and attaching to your pack; for touring you're better off with a flat-tail ski. If you intend to use them to tour late season or in europe you'll also find the inability to fit a ski crampon a slight inconvenience. If you intend to ride them on the hard stuff the duke/baron are really the only suitable binding options (other AT's have too much lateral slop) - making for a pretty heavy set up. That said I have them mounted with dukes and use them for day-tours - so they can work.

They would be great for touring and would work great if you got to ride deep stuff coming down.
