I got these mounted up on a pair of Dynafit Mansulas with a pair of Dynafit ZZeros, somebody made a comment isn't that blasphemous mounting the G3's with so much Dynafit equipment?! But what I like about these over the Dynafits is that I can swap them between different pair of skis. You can get a mounting plate from G3 and swap the same pair of bindings between multiple skis, so instead of having to buy 2 pair of $450 bindings, its one pair and a $70 mounting plate. I have 6 hard days in the resorts and 2 days touring on these, and they have worked well. The only releases I have had were from weird twisting motions, never had an "auto eject" or anything like that. I even took a short 4 foot drop into a crater which threw me as far forward as you can go without your head hitting the skis and they stayed on. 6-8 footers or beating chopped up super heavy Sierra crud at high speed wasn't an issue in the least bit either. I'm no extreme skier, but am 6 ft, 190 lbs and I work my gear pretty hard. My only problem was heavy wet snow packing under the toe piece and making it hard to release manually (beat it with my pole and stomped the ski and the snow came out), but even Dynafits have issues with snow packing in the springs etc. As for touring, I upgraded from a pair of Freerides and it was noticeable lighter and smoother tour! Plus you didnt hear that annoying clunking noise with every step! And yes, I did use the ability to click in and out of tour mode without removing the ski or skins, Tele mode on a short 35 degree slope to work the terrain isnt always fun, thats why I am on Randonee skis!! | |

So far, I love them. I had a problem with the brakes, but I received the repair kit and they work fine now. Great for touring. light and tough. I have never had an unwanted release. Heel lifters work fine. I use my super heavy Fritschis at the resort and I use these for touring in the backcountry. I have these mounted on G3 Tonic skis and I love 'em. | |

This is the first time I have ever written a bad review. This is because I broke the heel lifts off on my 3rd ride. Additionally, spite anally checking the ski mode and cranking up DIN settings I still ejected while skiing. The ejections are RANDOM! What happens spite making sure you are in ski mode, the binding will magically switch into tour mode. Its a cool trick which impresses all bystanders with an amusing crash but its not so fun for the skier. | |
