I had been waiting until I was able to use these touring. I resort skied just fine and had no issues. I finally took them out and skinned up a resort trail last week but have yet to use them in a true backcountry setting. That may be a while considering the lack of snow.

I am new to touring, so I do not have anything to compare, but I found these user-friendly. My only thing is I need to see how they do switching back to alpine mode. I had issues turning the back heel area, but I think I need to apply pressure then turn. Please note I am a bit new, so this may be second nature to others.

I found it easy to get in, easy to switch heel risers with the flick of my poles. I should also note they released as they should when alpine skiing. I got stuck in some trees and deep powder (and tumbled over :)), and the bindings released as expected.

I sought out these bindings, as I wanted something safe in the backcountry. Something that would stay on when they should and fall off when they should. I did a lot of research and found these to be the safest.

This is super light, reliable, and easy to use!! Step in is almost too sensitive but got used to it and non-issue by end of first tour. Lifters and transitions were easy simple and no fuss. Highly recommend. Good performance on downhill, I haven’t had them skiing ice but everything so far is excellent. Paired with Hoji Free boot and 185cm skis. I am 170lbs and enjoy face melting speed along with cruiser carving/trees. Forgot about binding each time I use it and just get out there to rip!
