I've not used the Voiles, they look good to me and they're the only choice for some telemark bindings. The fritschi crampons are on the bar under your foot so as you raise your foot they lose bite and on high heel risers barely bite at all, both the voile and dynafits are relative to the ski so there's more bite. That's why fritchi have long versions of their crampons. I'd be happy to use voiles but it's more expense :cry:

I've dynafits on some stormriders for a while but it's new on the voodoos, seems OK so far. No big release events so far :lol: I think to start with you just look at them and think "what, those tiny bits of metal?" but after a couple of hours you forget and it feels ok, in fact being right down on the ski feels pretty good.

I may, I'm not sure I've a strong reason to take the FR's off the Kilowatts. Although the Voodoos do ski nice with the Dynafits on them, hard to say if it's better than when I had FR's on them, time will tell. & I don't have a spare pair of dynafits so I'd have to buy some.

There's a problem with going dynafit on the kilowatts though, they don't do a crampon wide enough so I'd have to go for Voile crampons.

nordic walking, the best exercise for skiers :D

hold on, that's the old FR, here's the new one (from a well known website)

blimey :!: I've only just seen that, doesn't look good at all, in fact the ones on my snow shoes look more robust.

What I also saw was a max DIN of 10, that's incredible. So, Dynafit ST is 1000g with brake DIN 10, the FT about 1000g with DIN 12. It's not clear if the Onyx weight is with brake or not but either way, on paper, it doesn't look as good as the FT. My TLT speeds are DIN 10 and 670g

ise I take it that you're quieter than I am on skins )

I was more thinking that it's quieter than snow shoes, you've scared most stuff off for miles around if you're on snow shoes.

Picasa is great, now available for the Mac !

they've a microsite for it :

I can't quite understand what it's bringing to the party really. It's not especially light, I think around 1400g. Look at it another way, a 1400g AT binding with DIN sole compatibly that would be big news.
