Bindings are lightweight, so lightweight that heavier/aggressive skiers can tweek the front pin right out of its track. Plastic rear release on very cold days or with even the slightest amount of snow buildup underneath can cause the binding to crack or fail to lock. Would recommend these for the recreational, lightweight skier, but NOT for the avid backcountry user.

GOOD BINDINGS, EXCITED TO SEE THEM IN ACTION!

Great binding, the lightest you will find. Difficult for pro shops to install, so take it to the best you can find. I recommend using alpine touring ski boots, as in NOT downhill boots. If you do not know which your boots are then look at the soles. If your boots are one piece of molded plastic, then I wouldn't recommend these bindings. There is a good bit of flex in the binding, but when you put a stiff boot in them, it stresses the binding. The toe caps are not your average releasable with DIN setting caps. They are one solid piece. Therefore they have NO movement, and are more likely to break in very aggressive situations. The screws on the top of the toes adjust the height of the caps, if they are too tight, then there is less movement, and more stress. I adjusted my caps too tight, and now the caps are broken, luckily under warranty. But until I get new ones, I cannot use the bindings.
