Would you put Dynafits on fats

[Kya]

But I'm also like, literally half their size, so that helps.

Kenai: I thought we talked about this......And you deserve a spanking........schwing

Does this mean a trip to Jackson?

.....double schwing

I've skied equal time on Dynafits and Dukes this season on Coomba's and Rapid Transit's. I'll admit that the Rapid Transit's are on the skinny side of fat, but the Coomba's are fat enough. I was curious about the dukes and mounted them for sh*t's and grins. I prereleased out of the Dukes twice...the Dynafits have held solid. Both were/are set on DIN 9. Folks who are not in the know on Dynafits dismiss them based upon limited experience, knowledge about how to keep the female inserts on the boots clear of ice, etc. I know because I used to say the same things. Long story short, got rid of the Dukes and settled on FR's as a compromise for inbounds where I may do some slackcountry. Dynafits rule the backcountry IMHO...after lugging the same skis with Dynafits around where I had previously used Dukes, I became a true believer. The weight savings is too significant to ignore based upon very minor considerations of DIN settings. Now...if you're pushing 250 lbs....we're talking apples and oranges here. But for a normal weight person, I think the DIN 10 max on the dynafits is enough.

I finally blew $$ out my ass and got Vertical ST's and Zzero C-TF's. I have not decided what ski to throw them on yet, but they will be in the 98-105mm range most likely.

^^^Cool. I put that set-up on Bluehouse Districts.

Based on my experience, Dynafits are fine big guy/fat ski bindings. I'm 240+ lbs., naturally strong athlete, 51 y.o. (thus a non-hucker), ski more cautiously in the BC tho often w/ a big pack (i.e., multi-day trips). I have been using Dynafit Comforts at 10DIN (which, IMO, is equivalent to >10 DIN on my FR+) since my switch from telly last spring. They've worked flawlessly on my 173 Icelantic Shamans and 186 Jak BC's, releasing when they should, no prereleasing. Lots of verts skiing more aggressively on the Shamans in lift areas, while Jak BC's are strictly for BC. I agree with all prior posts re a clean and well-engaged pin/socket. Also, keep your rear posts well greased, and make certain that the bindings are mounted to fit your boots, so that the rear boot fixture lines up with the pins.

I have Dynafits on lotus 138's. So stoked on the setup!!! Dynafits kept this setup light and IMHO ski way better than other touring bindings(I only have experience with fritchis). As far as release issues I weigh 215lbs, ski aggressive but not a hucker just small airs, and run my dins at 9 and have never released when I should not have. The only skis I still keep to tour on that don't have dynafits are for slackcountry so I can use alpine boots.

I've got Dynafits on my Gotamas and the 100mm brakes work without any mods although they just barely clear. The guys that mounted them did a good job.
