Binding Reviews

Check out our virtual museum display for the 1995 Fritschi Diamir Titanal ski touring binding, first modern lightweight frame binding for backcountry.

Thanks to Dynafit inventor Fritz Barthel, I came back from Europe with a complete run of four different early Dynafit bindings, check them out.

Clear winner of the DIN “mine is bigger than yours” wars, Marker’s new Duke randonnee binding dials to DIN 16, and shows its que macho! pride with a red painted heel spring that is beefy enough to use in my Jeep suspension. Set the binding to DIN 16, and enjoy leaving your foot and ski behind if you take beater. Ouch.

Emery Chrono was one of the lightest weight ski touring bindings of the 1990s, check out museum historical display and make a comment.
