Almost perfect- but not quite

By Toddski Ranked #242 - Alpine Touring Bindings February 5, 2004

Yes, these are great bindings. Probably the best currently on the market. However, there are a couple of things I've noticed since I mounted them early this season. One, there is a bit of movement in the heel locking device, and now that I've skied them a a couple dozen times, there's some serious signs of wear and now there's even more movement. Two, the very first time my knee touched my ski in walking mode, I noticed a nice dent in the toe piece and the rubber that's supposed to prevent that had split. I've seen this on both my own bindings and my friends. They're tough bindings, but they still need a few years of modifications before they're perfect.
