Thanks for the great details both of you!

Hi John, Thanks for your reply. Whn you say: "I suspect you would not be happy doing 6 to 8 hour day-tours covering 25km or more of mountain in the switchback binding". Is that due to the weight or another reason? I thought the touring mode would simulate a BNC pivot and therefore it would be easier. Would love to hear your thoughts Thanks

Hello everybody, I have a pair of 109's with Voiles 3 pin traverse. I am not using the cable much. Mainly finding my own trails, creating my own track. I am fairly happy with combination but the flexing in the boot / foot gives me issues with my toes. I also believe there is quite some energy lost during the flexing. Therefore I am looking at the Voile Switchback, in touring mode it seems a similar movement to a BC binding. Anyone tried the Voile Switchback with Crispi Svartisen? Is this working with the fairly soft sole and the size of the duckbill? Does it give more comfort than a 3 pin binding? Any disadvantages (apart form the weight and price)?

Hello, did you ever get to try the Svartisen with the Voile Switchback? I am considering it on my E109 instead of the 3pin traverse
