Heel release without touring bindings

didn't bother to watch the video but Trekkers do the trick, makes your set up a bit heavier but you don't sacrifice strengthhttp://www.evo.com/alpine-touring-ski-bindings/bca-trekkers-2011.aspx#utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=shoppingengine
 
Trust me bro, I told you on facebook and am about to tell you on ns.

If your guanna throw down don't get bc bindings I have seen to many of them blow up in my life to know that there shit if your not skiing bc 90% of the time. They just can't take the day to day impacts of hardpact, cliffs and booters located in bounds

 
.......

obviously, thats not the purpose of touring bindings.

to the OP, yes trekkers are cheaper, but they suck. you are MUCH better off investing in a real touring setup. also, be prepared, barons are HEAVY. if you are gonna be jumping off stuff they are the way to go, they are about as burly as touring bindings get, but they are no fun if you are going on long tours. however for sidecountry trips and whatnot, and in terms of strength they are ideal. just rather hefty.
 
for one i dont like how high you sit off your ski, two they are heavier than even heavy touring bindings like barons,

in general, they are just looser, and wigglyer, and not as secure feeling as a real touring binding, especially on steeper ascents. they also break easily.
 
im not really going "backcountry" more of slackcountry style im not looking to go on huge tours just a little trip off the side of the runs to get to some powder.
 
i dont know but that vid tottaly just made my day i hope when im older ill e able to take my dog on ski hikes
 
if you are going on short trips, the dukes/barons would be fine. they are a little hefty, but its definitely nice knowing that they are nearly as durable as a real alpine binding.

i personally would stay away from trekkers. some people like em, i think they lack durability, and it sucks when they break mid trek.
