How would these work on Bentchetlers as opposed to Barons? I want to be able to tour but if the barons are a lot heavier than griffons i just might get a dakine backpack and lug my skis like that. What is the weight difference between griffons and barons? oh and can you ski park/switch on barons or would it be really weird?

Yo! You'd add about a pound to the binding weight by going with the Baron. They are heavy for a touring kit, but if you want the higher-DIN, it's worth it. Definitely easier than bootpacking! Skiing switch doesn't feel weird at all. I have a pair on my JJs and cruise just the same. Pick em up!
