This is my first tele setup, but coming from kilowatts with marker barons, I have almost zero complaints. | |

I've stuck with this design since they were called skye. The underfoot cable routing creates a really active feel when you engage the springs and a really neutral feel when you are flat-footed, and that's the best praise I can offer any tele binding. | |

These bindings will let you go big. They are very active. They weigh a little more than the Ascents or Switchbacks, but if you tour on a fat ski and stiff boot, these are the bindings for you. The spring cartridges loosen and need to be tightened frequently. Snow build up under the foot is rarely a problem. | |
