What is the Dynafit binding?
The Dynafit is a backcountry skiing binding that allows you to ski downhill with your boot attached to your ski the same way a regular alpine ski binding functions, yet transforms into a touring/climbing binding for skiing uphill or across level ground with your heels free to move up and down. The binding is available in three models. The TLT (Tour Lite Tech) has been available for more than a decade. We have used the TLT for more than twelve years and highly recommend it and the Dynafit Comfort. (We also recommend the Naxo and Fritschi offerings, though we feel the Dynafit is best for human powered ski mountaineering that involves lots of vertical.) As of winter 2003/04 the Comfort model is also available. This combines an improved heel with a slightly improved toe, and may be an even better binding, though it's not yet had extensive testing. Lastly, a discontinued version known as the Tri-Step is available on the used market and is similar to the TLT and Comfort (it uses a Comfort heel and slightly modified TLT toe). While the Tri-Step works for some skiers, we do not recommend it.
