That said, the Comfort is not in the 2010/2011 Dynafit catalog and is thus probably officially discontinued. Not to worry though, the TLT Verticals work fine and are really just a Comfort with a number of small improvements (as well as a cosmetic connector plate between toe and heel.) tob, it’s hard to say when this stuff is “discontinued,” since product seems to hang in the retail chain for quite some time.

I can't seem to find them for sale anywhere. If they are discontinued, is it worth it to try and find some somewhere? From what I've read, they seem to be superior to the tlt, and all the dynafit bindings i see are tlt vertical st, or tlt vertical ft12, etc. Are the comforts discontinued?

Regardless, I think the Vertical (FT or ST) is going to be the binding that helps pull in those bigger and more aggressive skiers who may have had doubts about Dynafits in the past. It could be a real boon for Dynafit if it lives up to the hype. I know it's the binding I would choose to replace my Freerides. Regards, Chris Thanks Lou,

According to Dynafit, the Vertical ST with brake is 530 grams and the Comfort with brake is 505 grams. This weight is from the catalog, and may have changed by the time the unit was manufactured. I'll be getting the real-world weight and more information in a few days, and will blog. I weighed the Comfort as 384 grams, no screws, no brake, so I doubt it's heavier than the Vertical.
