Dynafit TLT Vertical ST w/Brakes

Symbiosis between innovative design and lightweight technology
Dynafit engineers and designers have taken the material to a new level, especially with this Vertical Model. The goal was to meet diametrically opposed needs of maximum lightness in the most important areas: the ski stopper, rotation control, and all points of transmission of force. The need for extreme resistance in the rear binding and the crampon fixation made it necessary to calculate new structural ratios and chose the most suitable materials with extreme care. The result is amazing: - 20% greater resistance - greater comfort of use combined with greater lightness - more precision in transmission of force.
For more skitouring pleasure whether uphill or downhill.

*Brakes accomodate ski widths up to 100cm in waist

Weasel One review:
    "Do you have the Marker Dukes? I want to mount them on these super light skis I bought.” My response is usually “Why?” While there are plenty of you hucksters out there who could use an unbreakable binding, the rest of us are quite happy with Dynafit bindings. Why are they so great? Because you can do more with less. Dynafit has a cult following for a reason. The versatility of their bindings, in combination with their ridiculously low weight makes for backcountry days with a lot more turns. Last winter, I bought a pair of old TLT classic bindings off of a guy, and put them on a lightweight pair of planks. My telemark buddies were shocked that a randonee setup could weigh half as much as their setup. Furthermore, these bindings betray their dainty look with unwavering durability. My pair is easily seven years old, but functions as new. Ebay auctions attest to their durability; people are very willing to shell out $300 for used Dynafits. Yes, you do have to have Dynafit compatible boots. And yes, there is a learning curve to becoming efficient in using them. However, you will appreciate how they allow the ski to flex more naturally without the extra length and material that stiffens skis mounted with a Fritschi or a Naxo. Plus, for those terrifying “no falls allowed” descents, you can lock the toe piece down to ensure you don’t pop out. This year, Dynafit has come out with a 12 DIN rated binding; however, the TLT ST, with its 10 DIN rating, works great as a 12 + + DIN binding if you lock the toe piece in. If you want to huck yourself off the resort accessed backcountry cliffs, go with the Markers. For the rest of us, we’ll continue to be smug and happy with our Dynafit bindings.
