I tried Lynx last year and then got another pair this year. The newer version is definitely more active than the older version. My money says 22D makes different options in the future because I know several skiers that absolutely love the new version's stiffness and some that find it way too stiff. ...

1) ease of entry with step-ins, to which I can't help asking why bother ever going to a gym if we're so far gone that we can't reach down to activate our bindings and attach our leashes? 2) possible annoyance from intrusive brakes-bumping/catching when skinning uphill, 3) NTN requiring/encouraging ...

What Wilco said. If you like Vices/Axls, you'll most likely like Outlaw Xs even better.

What bgregoire said. Those are the wrong boots for that set up. Those boots simply aren't stiff enough to get on edge or to handle that binding, which I imagine will quickly collapse as you initiate the turn. You should try plastic boots; they can be very comfortable. I personally am not a fan of th...

3. Best advice, get Outlaw X. What is it about the Outlaw X that you prefer? I'm biased because I use Outlaw X and have far more days on them. That said, I think they're better because: 1. Tour function. Far superior and total free pivot. 2. Flex - much smoother and, at the lowest setting, seems fa...

Although I don't have personal experience with the Meidjo I remember reading in a review that the release on the dynafit heel for the Meidjo is very weak and is meant to be used in conjunction with the second heel on the binding. I think the heel's release would be too weak to use by itself. Howeve...

I may be buying a set of Rottefella NTN Freedom bindings from someone who does not know what size they have, and it's through the mail. They are orange and white. His boot size is 26, which it seems to me from what I have read it could be either small or large. I am new to all this, is there a way ...

I don't know anyone who has skied both. There definitely are fans of the BMF, but I'd say the Outlaw X has a greater following, largely for the reason Johnny pointed out -- it connects to the duckbutt. But both are solid companies and I don't think you could go wrong with either. If you use Outlaw X...

I think those were one generation before the T2X -- the first year they had thermoldable liners (instead of the lace-ups), circa 2004, 2005 -- and the last generation of T2 (then came T2X and then T2 Eco).

Maybe then it's due to what Atomic calls the "ultra-lightweight carbon insert that runs the length of the ski like a stabilizing backbone." In any event, I see no harm in using the 4.1 bit.
