Fritschi Tecton. The Salomon MTN and Atomic Backland are identical in design and function and construction.)
Marker Alpinist Touring Leash. To má za následek nejenom výrazně nižší hmotnost špičky, ale volný prostor také zabraňuje hromadění sněhu při prošlapávání stopy nebo obecně pohybu v hlubokém sněhu. Thanks! Transitions, adjustments, getting in and out; how does the Zed do? Hi James, the safety / release characteristics of both alpine and touring bindings is a very complex and important topic. The toe piece of the Fritschi Tecton is engineered entirely differently, but the end result is similar in terms of ease of entry. Finally, downhill skiing release action is less sophisticated than any of the above options. Both hit the sweet spot for weight to performance ratio and offer all the basic features we look for in a touring binding. The heel risers were finicky, and the unproven reliability of the complex binding did raise a red flag for several testers. Ve špičce použili konstruktéři od Markeru také nestandardní kombinaci karbonu a dalších materiálu pro snížení hmotnosti a zvýšení pevnosti. However, there are notable exceptions to this rule.

Since the ZED and Raider / Core are the only bindings in our test that don’t use U-spring heel designs, I’m going to reiterate here what I wrote about the Raider / Core: We have yet to experience a pre-release on the ZED or Raider / Core and, because of their non-U-spring heels and adjustable vertical and lateral release values, the ZED and Raider / Core have the most safety-oriented features of the bindings in our test. The Alpinist comes in two versions, the Alpinist 9 and Alpinist 12. I think anyone looking at buying this product at this stage is taking a bit of a gamble no matter how you look at it. It is downhill that makes backcountry skiing, skiing.
