I wouldn't worry too much about it. Pick some boots, get them in hand, and try them out.

Mon, 03 Dec 2012 06:00:42 +0000 http://www.wildsnow.com/?p=350#comment-48726 I still ski on a 'vintage' setup of Tua skis, Ramer bindings, and the 'original' (red) Dynafit Tourlite boots. One of these boots sustained some damage during a ski tour last spring. I am now perusing the web for a new pair of AT boots. I am concerned new boots may not be compatible with my Ramer Classic bindings. Does anyone know if the Ramers would fit the new AT boots that claim to work with "ISO Touring" bindings? Another option would be to obtain another pair of the old Dynafit Tourlite boots in 'serviceable' condition. If anyone reading this has a pair of these boots (U.S. size 10-1/2) collecting dust in your garage, I would be willing to pay a fair price for them.

Very robust even on a trip to Russia I had no problems whith this binding. Once you loose a part Its quite simple to repair and you don't have to be an engineer. In Austria you get them nowadays on ebay and most of the people use them for their kids to take them on the mountains. Its cheap and fits to all sizes of boots.

I skied several peaks in the Tetons with those mounted on HEXCEL COMPS. I used Scott Boots since they were so light. What we have available today is absolutely amazing. I really like the "Museum" here! I started with those back in the late 1970′s. I skied several peaks in the Tetons with those mounted on HEXCEL COMPS. I used Scott Boots since they were so light.
