Mother and Father want to get into ski touring. Not the agro, line-bagging, freeride touring that is exploding here in the states, but the more traditional walk-up-and-enjoy-low-angle-swish-turns touring. Many new tech bindings are built to support powerful skiers on steep, exposed terrain. My parents don’t need that muscle. The Dynafit Radical Speed shares the same platform of Dynafit’s impressive new freeride touring Radical FT but is toned back with a lower release value rating, and less bells and whistles. Plus, I’ll save $200 by going with the less aggressive set up. The Speed Radical is one of the most affordable tech bindings out there with all the performance most of us will ever need.-Kevin Luby, Assistant Editor [$399; dynafit.com]
