The new binding from Naxo is said to be tougher and more reliable than the old ones, yet I'm stuck wondering wheter to go naxo or traditional bindings. I certainly want to be able to climb/walk more comfortable, but on the other side I would still like to ski downhill. Evidently the downhill part is what skiing is all about, still I can't make the decision.

Do you have any arguments for making the choice?

Will I have to give up some of the pleasures of riding when choosing the Naxo?

Is that a 21 din Green Spring? Damn!!! thats hot maing. I bet they increased torsional rigidity too, that was the only problem with it it wasn't as laterally solid as a traditional binding but I hear it's worth the tradeoff.
 
it is worth buying, i had a set mounted on some rossi b3s. They held up even with some pretty massive cliffs (i.e. 10 foot cliffs). i don't like to tow skis on my back soo i think it is worth it.
 
They are beefed up, but remain touring bindings, and are subject to the positive and negative aspects of all touring bindings, though perhaps to somewhat lesser degree. But I wouldn't say the "new improvements" should be enough to sway you one way or another. More like, if you need AT bindings, they'll be a bonus. Personally, I think I'd rather put up with trekkers for the most part.

it means that you can climb, hike with your skis on, instead of putting them on your pack.
 
The problem with Trekkers is that they get too heavy to even consider carrying around. The Naxo are after all only 2.265 kilograms (or 5lbs), which is a bit lighter than some ordinary bindings (ie. Look Px-12,14). Considering that I weigh approximately 160 lbs, I presume that the rigidty will not become a major issue. Another thing that I search is the flexbility of not having to plan on beforehand wheter to hike or not, and that is what you get with the Naxos.

Furthermore, I'm able to get them for the fairly reasonable price of 549Euro, together with a pair of Dynastar Big Troubles. For you americans that is 660 $$. Shall I give in for this offer?
