G3 Onyx AT Binding

G3 Onyx AT Binding

A review on: G3 Onyx AT Binding
Dostie

Pros: Easy to enter, Easy to switch modes, improved downhill performance, swappable

Cons: Heavy for a tech binding

In the world of alpine touring weight inevitably becomes an issue. However, for alpine converts downhill performance and convenience take precedence and herein lies the appeal of G3's Onyx, the heaviest tech binding on the market. The Onyx provides several things missing from the typical tech binding (read: Dynafit). First, they are easier to get in to. True, you do have to hold the toe pins...

Dynafit TLT Vertical ST Alpine Touring Binding

Dynafit TLT Vertical ST Alpine Touring Binding

“ Finally made the change from Dukes and Fritschis. These weigh half as much as the fritsch and 1/3 of the dukes. Tour better and ski better than either binding IMO. <3   The fritschi is better for rolling tours where you need to change modes frequently and are easier to use, easier to adjust the heel lifter etc... Dynafits take a little practice to tour on. ” --tromano

Black Diamond Fritschi Diamir Freeride Plus Binding

Black Diamond Fritschi Diamir Freeride Plus Binding

“ I have used Fritschi bindings since the original Diamir binding came out over 10 years ago.  I have never had an issue with the binding's performance while touring other than an occasional ice up that would happen to any touring binding given the snow and temperature.  It is the most proven, reliable, bomb proof system on the market.  The Freeride + and the newer Freeride...” --choucas

Marker Duke Ski Binding

Marker Duke Ski Binding

“This binding is one of a kind.  I have tried all other touring style bindings and find that only the Duke can ski the front side of the mountain all day, jump off cliffs in bounds or out, and still with the flip of a switch have the freedom of the freeheelers.  I would recommend it to anyone who uses lifts to access their backcountry terrrian or for those that cant afford more than one setup...” --MileHighGuy

Dynafit TLT Speed Classic Alpine Touring Binding

Dynafit TLT Speed Classic Alpine Touring Binding

“ This is the standard Dynafit. Has lesser adjustability but heel lifters are steel thus break less. Wore out a set of pins for toes but this is rare--lots of hiking in summer on volcanos and partially damaged boot socket.. Solid skiing connection. Soo light. Small learning curve yields great satisfaction. Have two pair and would buy again.” --WaNick

Backcountry Access Naxo nx22 Black Alpine Touring Binding

Backcountry Access Naxo nx22 Black Alpine Touring Binding

Why hang out in resort lift lines when the backcountry offers unlimited untracked powder runs? The Backcountry Access Naxo nx22 Black Alpine Touring Binding carries you up your own trail as you hunt for secret stashes far away from the groomers. When you find your gold mine, switch to downhill mode by locking your heel in. Stiff rails create gnarly torsional rigidity to respond to your every...

Dynafit TLT Radical FT Bindings w/ 110mm Brakes

“When you're unabashedly hooked on earning your turns, Dynafit inevitably comes to mind. Thereafter, the only question is which tech system binding will you get? There are other contenders now, but they largely appeal to a rando race mentality. For everyone else, Dynafit remains the best choice. Whether you're graduating from Marker or Fritschi's tech-system proving grounds or simply realizing...” --Dostie

“ Tested extensively by Rolf Meyer, Level III PSIA Instructor Okemo Mountain.  USSA Level 1 coach.  Head Coach Guilford, CT HS Ski Team.   His observations after 20 runs:  It stiffened the middle of the ski and provided better edge hold on firm snow.  He said the added weight was only noticeable on the lift with feet dangling.    He also skied the...” --patmoore
