Yeah all hardboots will fit in green tech bindings. Scarpa was ok in the lower tech binding. You can also remove the carbon fiber adapterplate and direct mount to get extra clerence on the lower tech binding to make it work.
I have only seen a few La Sportiva models with clerence problems.

Updated the tech binding design to work with La Sportiva Boots. La Sportiva is becoming more popular and for some reason they have a different soles to dynafit. More rocker and bigger sole around the toe. So added 3.5mm of height which took a bit of work with new fixtures and programing. All green anodized tech bindings ( currently shipping) are…[Read more]

43 grams toe piece only direct mount
31grams FC adapter plate
no screws weighed.The FC adapter plate is way over built but moulds are expensive and we only had one shot at it.
I didn’t intend these to replace your tech bindings. I admire most tech bindings as they truly are minimal engineering art. These were designed with the locking mech on…[Read more]chrisNZ replied to the topic Dynafit toe piece mounting….. Drill, baby drill? in the forum Bindings 8 years, 11 months ago
Here is some of the new stuff we have been building. Forged carbon adapter plate stronger than 6061-al and lighter.The toe piece pictured is an original prototype. Nothing has changed from this to production. Can be mounted without the adapter plate with quiver killers and one screw.
Toe piece’s haven’t released from skinning around rocks yet.…[Read more]

Use a knife and get as much resin in as you can then clamp and in a heated room. Tape off top sheet if you dont want to worry about clean up. Any epoxy will work . Araldite would work, Its also something good to carry for long muti day trips.

1% can just be added to the price if it had too….
But it will take a lot of companies coming together to achieve something worth while. Jones Snowboards are good at this stuff with POW and i would hope they are thinking big in terms of avalanche awareness, maybe we will see something in the future.
Funding for more rider education, in person…[Read more]

1% of sales from manufacturers of backcountry gear would help fund this rather big issue we have. Change is needed.

I put teeth along the front of the crampon, wanting to get more traction it worked. But design evolved to having just teeth on the side, it was more efficient and still good bite. And it never doesn’t engage. Smaller and lighter.

Excited to see what comes from the 32 boot/jones partnership. They are already the lightest boot out and cheap. So much room for development in boots for splitboarding.
