Hey, BCA!

Please update the trekker this season.

After some discussion in the nx21 durability thread, it seems there will never be an AT binder out there the style of which i am looking for. THerefore i must find a worthy trekker to grace my collection this year. Are there ever going to be any updates to the trekker to fix the problems that everyone has been talking about ever since they came out? I would like to get all the gripes in one place and maybe have a rep take a look over at this and think about it.

1) the climbing posts need to be bigger/ what sits on top of the climbing posts needs to be bigger(wider). SInce the metal is so soft, and the hole the metal sits in too big, it seems any large amount of weight put on them makes them slide out below the post and hit on the binding, which defeats the whole purpose of a climbing post. If the metal must be so soft, there needs to be room for it to bend but still be engaged on the post.

2) when you fall forward, you could break your binding.

3)on a steep sidehill, it feels as if the torque will rip the trekker/your binding apart.

4) they are too tall.


I know this has been discussed elsewhere but i think it needs its own thread and we need an update on the good idea, that right now is of no use to people like me.

Please BCA, make a better trekker, it was such a good idea, but so bad in reality
