I know this has been asked before, but thought it'd be worth checking
if anyone has had firsthand experience with this binding.

I'm particularly interested in the ergonomics--how touring comfort
compares with the Naxo and the Dynafit...


_ I have the Silveretta 500 which ergonomically is very similar
to the Pure, but a bit heavier. I have heard some reports of
first season Pure's being breakable. I also own the Naxo and
Dynafits. Of the three, I think the Silveretta probably is the
easiest to use. It changes modes with a ski pole and the pivot
point is under the toe so kick'n'glide and climbing is fairly
straightforward. The Naxo double pivot thing helps on lower
angle stuff, but still isn't as good as the silveretta or
dynafit pivot points. The only drawback to the dynafit is
that changing modes is more complicated than the others.

_ Each one of these bindings does certain things well. Let
me know what exactly you're planning to use it for on what
skis and I can offer more advice.
