FYI: Avoid Attack LYT Bindings

[Muggydude]

I picked up some Attack LYT 13 bindings this season. I was interested in the new toe pieces with the “auto height adjust” feature because I use binding freedom inserts and swap bindings to different skis, and adjusting the AFD every time is annoying with the regular GripWalk toe pieces.

I don’t think the “auto adjust” on these toe pieces makes sense. I see the little springs that are supposed to let the wings flex upwards, which may work - except the minimum gap between the afd and toe pieces seems HUGE - appears to be way too large for alpine and GripWalk boots. On my in-spec alpine boots, there’s about a 5-7mm gap between the top of the boot lip and the wings. Which means the boot can jiggle and move vertically by that amount with very little force which would translate to a huge amount of slop and imprecision while skiing.

With GripWalk boots, the gap is still around 3-4mm.

I think it’s a poor design, I have no idea what they were thinking when they designed this toe piece.

I’ll be going back to my normal attack gw bindings where I can set the afd height appropriately to a ~0.5mm gap.

Is this with the protector heel?

Same issue with or without the protector heels as the attack 13 Lyt toe piece is identical on both the regular and protector version. With the protector, there’s just an included spacer plate that installs under the regular Lyt toe piece.

If I wanted the protector heel, I would get the binding that includes the protector toe piece as well, not the attack toe piece.
