Fritschi Diamir Freeride Binding
Not Impressed
By Tom
Ranked #1225 - Alpine Touring Bindings
April 29, 2003
When I received the binding, I noticed that the rear end had considerable side-to-side play along the center bar. Fortunately, I test-mounted the binding first before drilling my skis. The boots had a lateral play of about 2 inches, too much for comfort. I sent the bindings back, and BackcountryStore.com refunded my payment, no questions asked. This may have been a defect, but I didn't follow-up on it. For the mixed resort/backcountry skiing I'm doing, the binding seemed overall too flimsy, definitely not what I expected. I wouldn't mind some extra weight for something rock-solid.
