just get some dynafit / dukes and be done with it...
CAST = dumb and expensive idea.
It always amuses me when people believe they are too hardcore for existing touring solutions.
If you really are so *extremo* that you can only go descend in alpine bindings then just get some alpine treckers for £20 off ebay.
Much like the MFD all time plates I predict these wont be on sale in 2 years time.

Haggis_Trap, MFD are under already. Dynafit offers no elasticity, so go figure, unless you wanna Beast.
spyderjon, Yes have all the tooling arriving week after next.

Interesting on Mission Steeps it looked like Samuel Antawotsit had just attached some dynafit toes in front of his Looks and seemed to be using the Look toepiece as a heel riser.
CH2O, any inside knowledge on that?

Serious question: How would this compare in flexibility to a pair of skis quiver killered to accept a Marker Baron and a set of Dynafits? Or is the purpose of this (if I remember right) that you can swap the bindings easily while out? And does that mean you have to carry the parts?

^ lets face it though : the general skiing public are pretty dumb.
this is a nice solution to a problem that, for most skiers, doesn't really exist.
dynafit (for touring) or Duke / Guardian (for lift accessed and short skins) are a much better / simpler / cheaper options for the vast majority of scenarios.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

So one needs to ruin two pairs of boots for this setup?

You know it makes sense.

^ if you had any brains you would just buy a top end touring boot (with walk mode, 120/130 flex, vibram soles) rather than butcher some alpine boots with after market inserts.

I didn't know you could buy inserts separately  But yeah, I agree. Either Fritschis/Dukes/Whatever with apline boots or Plums with proper touring boots.

Like Wide Skis, former Freerando Bindings, Freerando Boots…………………….all been "Niche'" once.

Cast/Lars will probably sell his PP, license it or succeed. Like the Plum guys, Boot manufacturers, Boutique Ski Brands, et al.

CH2O, just because another niche product has become popular doesn't mean all do there was one mentioned earlier this thread for example. There has to be some reason average people will want to swap between an alpine and tech toe that isn't covered by the more elastic tech bindings coming this and next year.

FAQ
conditions bloke. If boots continue to improve then they become viable to a wider group of riders. None of that makes serving a bunch of people that aren't right now a silly thing to do though.
