Ben Corwin, Hutkeeper and mountain adventurer

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.
