The baseline choice in backcountry ski bindings

By Jonathan S. Shefftz Ranked #597 - Alpine Touring Bindings August 29, 2009

If you are looking to get into backcountry skiing, this should be your baseline choice.Why would you want anything else? Only a few reasons to do so:-- You want to save a few more ounces on the even lighter Dynafit models.-- You need a release setting higher than 10 and have the extra $$ for the FT12.-- For some odd reason you think the differences of the G3 Meetu (i.e., "Onyx") are worth the big weight penalty.-- You want to put in lots of pointless wasted effort by using an heavier AT binding that requires you to lift most of the binding on each and every stride.-- You want to make telemark turns in the backcountry and are willing to put up with the many efficiency and safety disadvantages of tele gear.
