New Dynafit "Comfort"
binding
Latest incarnation of Tri-Step binding
will eliminate problematic Tri-Step toe
Yipee! All of us who knew in our hearts that
the Tri-Step binding toe wasn't working up to current standards
are now validated. Following de-fluffed and copy edited press
release explains. More to come.
March 19, 2003
The Dynafit Tri-Step binding has been redesigned
and improved for Fall 2003, and will ship in its new form and
under its new name, the TLT Comfort Binding.
Many who tried the Tri-Step were happy with
certain features, such as the ease of rotating the heel unit,
but found that the Tri-Step lacked the reliability and ease-of-use
that the original TLT toe provided. "The consumer wanted
the intuitive and simple toe piece of the original Tourlite Tech
(TLT) binding, but they also wanted the easy and comfortable to
use heel piece of the Tri-Step binding...now they can have it
all in one binding," said Tim Kelley, Life-Link / Dynafit
Product Manager.
The New TLT Comfort Binding will offer all
the best features of the Tri-Step heel piece including being adjustable
to three shell sizes, the easy to install ski brake system, and
the tube shaped climbing step for comfortable position changes
while touring. The new toe piece of the TLT Comfort will feature
the simple, effective, audible, locking toe-piece found on the
original TLT binding.
Dynafit will continue to offer the tried and
true TLT binding.
