By Ranked #138 - Alpine Touring Bindings October 29, 2011

These aren't my main touring set-up. I have a few others better suited for long tours and frequent changes between ski and tour mode. These see most days inbounds, but I can tour on them if I want-no problem. I like every pair of skis I own to have touring capabilities, half my quiver is tele. If you're looking for a binding that won't break the bank and tour go for Barons (or Dukes if you're bigger). I am 5'5" and 130, so no matter how hard I ski, I just don't put the force on gear like some people. These feel close to an alpine binding. I don't care for the ice skate/pedestal feel of Fritschi's. I have these mounted on a pair of the '09-'10 Obsetheds. I haven't had any major problems with these, just a little icing here and there, but that happens on any binding at some point.
