Slowly degenerating

By TheDude Ranked #557 - Alpine Touring Bindings March 19, 2010

Great AT binding for the first season or two. Among AT bindings available on the market, definately the easiest system for switching from tour to alpine and quickly adjusting climbing height. Easy to adjust to boot sole length and toe height. Nicely bridges the gap between Marker's and Dynafit's AT-binding offerings.
I used these alone for one entire season (resort and BC). BC only the next three seasons. Now on their 4th year of use, they are showing serious lateral play. Side-to-side precision has been lost. Not surprising for the beating they have taken, but just be aware that if you're looking for a binding to serve all your resort and BC needs, this will gradually lose its lateral stiffness. I cannot comment how it compares to other AT bindings in that regard, so take my "n of 1" example with a grain of salt.
