Any long term Duke PT users?

50/50 resort/touring. Looking for powerfull downhill binding but also efficient for long tours. I'm only afraid about toe piece. I heard that it can be real pain in the ass. Plz help

The physical motion is just as good as a true tech binding because it’s a tech toe, but the weight gets to a lot of peoples heads. If you really do want something 50/50, it’s probably your best best short of CAST. It’s beefy for sure, the toes are weird for sure. I always get scared I’ll lose the toe pieces if I take them off the ski so they just stay on. It’s a good binding, it skis well and it walks well. If you don’t mind the weight and the weird toe piece, go for it.
