Can't beat em
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I got these for my first touring setup and love them! They are super light and well built. Coming from a pure inbounds setup, it took some time to get used to the tech bindings in general, but after a few runs I can't tell the difference. The two risers are awesome to have and easy enough to flip up with the handle of my ski pole. I have never ejected from these bindings and have never had to worry about losing a ski. That being said, after seeing some other runaway skis with brakes (different bindings), I wish I opted for the leashed version of these bindings to make sure they never get away from me.
Great Binding
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Skied on these last winter. I was a bit skeptical at first because they seem so minimalist, but I have to say they preformed flawlessly. The toe is easy to line up and get in to even in deep snow. You really need to step down pretty hard to get in the back. Not a problem most of the time, but one 4' storm was a problem. Still, I'd take the 4' of snow and the minor inconvenience.
Nice and light. Really impressive binding.
Great AT binding
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Lightweight and strong. These bindings are some of the lightest AT bindings on the market. they tour well and seem to provide good protection on the down. I have been skiing on them for just about one season and have really liked them. They seem more stout (stronger)than Dynafit bindings as well.
Best Tech Toe Bindings
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These have a nice stiff spring, very wide drill pattern, and are super light. Salomon stepped up the tech binding game with these bindings.
So Far So Good
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
So far these bindings have been working great. The toe piece makes getting into the bindings super user friendly and cuts down a lot of the fuss. So far the release on the bindings has also been adequate.
A quick lap around the resort hitting some rollers and small cliffs and you can really tell that these are a solid binding even for potentially a free ride based rider who is looking to get into the backcountry. These bindings paired with a Salmon S lab touring boot are a really lightweight setup that can drive even some stiffer sticks.
Overall a great buy
Sweet Binding!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've been on these bindings almost everyday for the last two weeks and love them. Super light and seem durable. Easy to get in and out of even in precarious footing.
Touring Fiend
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
So far, I have loved these bindings. They are super light and simple. Have yet to miss a step-in, thanks to the design of the toe pieces, they make it super easy. I think the way the heel piece functions is the best out there. No bells and whistles here, just what you need to get it done!
