How does The Pure compare with Dynafit?
It’s interesting to note the Dynafit Comfort binding weighs 14.3 ounces (with screws), making the Pure Performance 6 ounces heavier per binding. That’s a significant difference in the world of ultra-lightweight gear, and for backcountry skiers pounding huge vertical, but would make little real-world difference for the casual ski mountaineer. The Pure has a comfortable touring stride because the pivot is located closer to the ball of your foot, and it is very easy to enter and exit — both these factors save energy, thus compensating somewhat for the extra weight.
