Poster: A snowHead
|
I think I know the answer to this, but I see the Salomon MTN LAB boots are compatible with tech bindings, some frame bindings and some alpine bindings like the Salomon Warden.
If it's okay with a Warden, is that because it has a sliding plate AFD? In that case would they work with any sliding plate AFD like this one?
Thanks

@Mosha Marc, The reason the Warden is compatible with Alpine DIN, Tech and WTR boots, is not the ADF plate, it is the height adjustable toe piece.
Most boots with tech fittings have a sole with a pronounced rocker, which raises the height of the toe piece, so unless the binding has a large height adjustment range you may not get a guaranteed release value.
Having said that, I have seen many people ski with touring boots in alpine bindings.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thought it might be. I'd best buy a big file

Or do my Frankenboot technique and fit a spare base plate to touring boots

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@Mosha Marc, do you need them to work specifically with that binding? Just asking as there will be a lot more alpine bindings that work with touring soles next season - I believe almost everything from Marker Royal Family series, amongst others.

You'll need to Register first of course.

@clarky999, yeah, those bindings are on my little skis. As you can see it's a rail system so I'm stuck with it, unless I replace it with a plate and mount bindings onto that.

@Mosha Marc, I use MTN Lab Explorers with Dynafit* and Diamir Vipec - and new for this season on my Scott 110 Cascades mounted with Scott Guardians, and they worked.
However yesterday I skied the Cascades using my old Black Diamond Factors and that was a much much better setup. The MTN Lab Explorers are geared to going up whilst the Cascade set up is geared to going down and the grunt that the Factors gave were so much better!
*new from tomorrow old TLts replaced with new ST 2.0s
