Black Diamond O1 Telemark Ski Binding DO NO TUSE

Rating for this product: 1 April 2, 2009

I used these bindings on several tours until a ski released on me never to be found again. Problem 1: they release too easily; I've never come out of a g3. I also always had a hard time switching from ascent to ski by pushing that silly button, and I continue to see my touring partners who still use this binding struggle with this transition. I've now got over 100 days on my g3 Ascents and I've never had any of the problems that the 01s gave me. If they do get iced up, it's easy to get at the lock mechanism on the g3s, unlike on the 01s.
