I have these bindings in purple and there are other color options to choose from. I prefer having brakes and love these lightweight, easy to use bindings. Highly recommend.

ATK Bindings are best in the market - light, durable, and user friendly.

The Raider 11 (and its siblings, if you need a higher DIN) is a great, all-around touring binding, ready for bombing (safely) down the jeep road as much as meadow laps out the front door of the hut.

I have these on my Intention 108. I opted for brakes because I do ride this setup in the resort. The heel has enough adjustability that I can use either of my boots with them. Brakes are annoying but the Evo system makes them as painless as possible.
