Black Diamond O3 Telemark Binding

get the voile side throws

By Ranked #495 - Telemark Bindings October 7, 2008

I had these bindings for a season and I hated them even though they are touring oriented, they are too big and bulky for this. The toe bar rips apart your duck bills and the catridge is so soft that it feels like i am skiing rottefella 412s. If you are mostly touring oriented, the voile side throw is a much better decision

Side throws are a throwback to a time when tele bindings were weak sauce. Just like Superloops, their time is over. Voile Switchback or 3 Pin Hardwire is a better choice than the Side Throw, or the 03, both for touring as well as turning.
