The Dynafit TLT Vertical FT bindings light weight and outstanding torsion resistance make for perfect performance in FreeTouring and FreeRide-Touring applications. The new DIN 12 provides maximum lock down for extreme descents, where coming out of your skis is not an option. Dynafit's consistently light-weight construction technology is now available in the DIN 6-12 model. The patented mechanical four-point link between binding and boot, along with the intricate "torsion-bridge" between toe and heel, provides a previously unknown degree of force distribution to the ski. The low profile and perfect load transfer angle to the boot (10mm heel elevation), combined with ideal comfort (weight reduced to the minimum), are only some of its unique features. Specs: Weight: 2.2 lbs DIN Settings to 12 Couloir magazine: "Dynafit has proven that feather-like weight and strength are not mutually exclusive terms. The compact socket/pin system trimmed away the fat of alpine touring and remains the gold standard for both boot-to-ski connection and lightness - the paramount concerns of earning one's turns. The TLT Vertical FT, its latest incarnation, combines all of that with an underfoot plate to reduce the amount of give between heel and toe - Dynafit's one past weakness - and still comes in at less than half the weight of its competitors. Should doubters still exist, its brakes add a little freeride-friendliness to accompany its mountaineering savvy." Skiing magazine: "The brand-new Vertical Free Tour offers enhanced downhill performance thanks to a glass and carbon binding plate that connects the toe and heelpieces for increased power transmission. And it's still the lightest binding out there."
