I've seen the reviews that these are not good for multiple day trips. I'm doing the 7-day Haute route next spring and was thinking of getting the Dukes and putting them on a pair of Kastle MX or FX skis. Any thoughts?

Erickjas, I would agree with the answer above. I have tried to do a multiple day trip on this binding and my skis/bindings were just so heavy it did not work. I ended up getting a lot of muscle pain in my legs even. For longer treks, get a lighter binding. This binding works great if you want to use it once and a while on the mountain. Not for a full trip.

The main reason people don't like them for long trips is because they're heavy. The Dukes are more of a resort binding that can do sidecountry if necessary. Consider a Tech binding like Dynafit.
