All interesting information.
Don't really think it has cleared it up but one thing I would like to know is could I buy tech/dynafit boot they would grip into my barons? (obviously not with the toe pin they use)
|
Yes.
ALL touring (and alpine) boots will work with your barons.
|
Nearly all touring boots will work with Barons. A small number of boots won't, this is the best known example of a touring boot that will only work with dynafit style bindings...

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Oceanic, I think Mike Pow of this very parish manages to get TLT5s working in some kind of frame binding.

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

G3 Alpinist v Kohla skins
=================
Was just sorting out my touring stuff for tomorrow. Will be doing a small 1hr tour on a local hill which doesn't have too much snow at the moment so taking the old touring set. Gave me a chance to do a "touch test" of my brand new Kohla skins and my almost new G3 Alpinist skins. In the glide direction there wasn't much in it, if anything the Kohla provided least resistance. In the grip direction the Kohlas provided must more resistance = more grip.

Some folk sky dynafit with the toes locked in touring mode. Plenty of people cheerfully wedge AT boots into plain old ISO alpine bindings, too. Not so many actually go get the setup torque tested afterwards and have a think about possible consequences. Also, Mr Pow gets a fair amount of skiing done, and so probably doesn't crash all that often; this won't necessarily be the case for everyone...

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Serriadh, err... great!?
The reason the TLT5 is supposed not to work in touring frame bindings is the toe is much shorter and the lugs are there for crampons, not for binding compatibility which is what Oceanic is referring too.
Also Mike just posted video of himself falling over rather a lot on hidden bits of tree.

No. No it isn't. And that was the point I was trying to make.

Serriadh, but you didn't you mumbled about a bunch of stuff completely unrelated to the issue raised. Oceanic was saying that not all boots work in frame bindings. I was pointing out that the example he pointed to actually does for at least one person. You are pointing out that in some unrelated activities what you do can impair the release of the boot from the binding. If you have actual evidence available to show that skiing TLT5s in frame AT bindings is particularly dangerous that would actually be interesting. All you're doing at the moment is fear mongering.

Kinda defeats the object, sking a TLT 5 with anything else other than Dynafit/Plum. Why would you do it?
