This is the classic workhorse AT binding. It will fit almost any stiff soled, welted boot. It is DIN rated, with independently adjustable forward and lateral release capabilities, extreme durability, easy adjustment for varying boot sizes, and a pole activated snap-down lock to switch from turning to touring mode.

Untitled ReviewMy biggest complaint is the release mechanism. If you pop out of the binding laterally, the binding comes apart. You must put things back together before putting the ski back on.
Also a warning: Make sure that the ski shop uses the bindings to figure out where to drill holes instead of the template. It's a bit more work, but the bindings don't always match the templates. With mine, this means that the part of the binding attached to my boot doesn't line up exactly with the guides on the heel piece. It just makes an annoying noise when climbing without affecting performance but I would rather they were straight.
