1990 was a very good year. After patenting his distruptive “tech” binding in 1984, Fritz Barthel finally found someone with the vision and smarts to mainstream it. Dynafit. Check it out. (We do these brief linked blog posts as a place for commenting on our museum pages, and to insure search results are useful.) Commenters, did you ski the Purple People Eater? I happen to like the colorway, how about you? Dynafit wants to know (smile).
