G3 Onyx AT Binding

By Backcountry.com Employee May 28, 2010

I demo'd this binding and fully agree with the poor reviews below. The toepiece is rock solid and probably stronger than a Dynafit toe piece, however that does not matter when the heel is junk. People ride a dynafit style binding because they are so light and tour so well. At 1430 grams, this binding is twice as heavy as a Vertical ST, immediately eliminating one of the key advantages of a dynafit system (weight). The binding tours well enough, but I'd rather pay 2x as much for the real deal than mess with this binding.

Ignore above comment about FT12 - it was for a different post. If I can figure out how to delete it, I will.

Comparison to FT 12 is implied but not explicit, nor appropriate: different users, different goals, skills, and tolerances
