seemed vague inbounds

By Andrew Bornstein March 20, 2009

These are the benchmark in AT bindings right now, but I didn't have a chance to take these bindings into the backcountry when I got to use them. I did play around with it a bit and it seemed easy to get into the touring mode without taking them off. The bindings seemed very vague inbounds, especially when compared to my Dukes. Additionally, the binding was very difficult to adjust to different BSLs. I would also recommend setting the DIN a notch or two higher than you normally would as I pre-released several times out of them.

Overall, this binding is a great choice for someone who is looking to use them only for touring, but I wouldn't recommend charging inbounds on these at all!
