Black Diamond O2 Telemark Binding

Item #BLD0971 | 57 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Good performance, but...

By Ranked #74 - Telemark Skiing March 1, 2007

The 02 performs quite well. I have a pair mounted on the BD Crossbow ski, and they work great, very solid, make you feel like you're in control. The other day, however, I was clipping in to go skiing, and the throw piece on the back (the part that you flip up onto the back of your boot) goes ca-chink! and busts in half. Big pain in the neck. Anyway, I went and got the G3 TourThrow part, and it fits on there just fine, and the binding still works great, plus I have the TourThrow upgrade. Apart from this minor setback, the O2 is rock-solid.

Yeah, I've broken two heel throws in 5 years of using 2 pairs of O2 bindings. I carry an extra one with me in the backcountry. Good news is that is the only part that is likely to break, and it weighs nothing. And Black Diamond customer support is phenomenal.
