I have a pair of bent 110s that I’m looking to put frame bindings on. Anyone have any recommendations? I will probably tour a few times, I’m looking for ones that have more skiing functionality than walking.

Find some used marker dukes, if you get the touring bug you'll want to upgrade and if you decide touring isn't your thing you're not out a ton of cash

You honestly should look into buying a pair of daymakers. Im sure people are gunna hop on me for this saying something like "they're so heavy" "they're just as expensive as a frame binding" yeah yeah, but if you hate touring you dont have clunky frame bindings on your ski. They also work with any ski that you have, and they hold their resale value very well.

Frame bindings are obsolete, look into the Marker Duke PT, Look Pivot + Cast Freetour, or Daymaker adapters.

All of those options are much better for touring than frame bindings while also giving you a lower stack height for the way down.

This. For the small, handful of times you will go touring don't ruin your ski's flex for the vast majority of skiing you will actually do.

I love my daymakers for the small amount of touring I do.
