That said, isn't the Naxo NX21 strong enough for you? Have you broken some 21s? And come to think of it, have you ever broken any alpine bindings?

There has yet to be a bc binding made for hard skiing heavyweights. About ten pairs of fritschies later, I'm slavering for a binding as conceptually lovely as the dynafit that is actually reliable for high speed cliff jumping backcountry. Shouldn't light weight take a backseat to reliability for a bc binder? Oh man, don’t be whining about no new light weight stuff. There has yet to be a bc binding made for hard skiing heavyweights.
