AFD breaks EASY
By Davey Smokett
Ranked #112 - Alpine Touring Bindings
October 1, 2009
So hopefully they figured something out for the AFD. I broke both mine within a month of use. My freind also broke one of his. I spoke with the local shops in town and right now they are totally out of the AFD peices and have become jerks about warranting them without proof of purchase. For the Burliest AT binding on the market they sure do break easy.

the peice under your toe that allows for an easier side to side release....the dukes is on a track with an alpine or touring mode, adjusted with a philips bolt. Easy to replace and or fix if they didnt break so easy and the manufacturers were out of them. Last year I had to put duct tape on it to hold it in place, didn't want to warranty them(wait 2-3 weeks) and miss out on the late season powder.
