Easy to use-happy with my purchase - G3 Zed 9, No Brakes, Pair

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.
