Tyrolia Attack Hybrid bindings help

[Michellezil]

Hey divas, I'm leaning towards getting a hybrid binding for my skis that will double for resort (80%) and touring (20%). I already have boots with tech toes - Scarpa Geas. The Tyrolia Attack Hybrid seems really appealing, to be able to maintain security on the downhill. I like that they are less exensive than the Shift2 and I have seen comments about being wary of the shift. But the Attack Hybrids are fairly new. Wondering if anyone here has tried them out yet and has any feedback?

I have not tried them, but the guy who owns one of my favorite ski shops spoke pretty favorably of them: and this was conversationally, not as a salesman: he was fitting my SO's new boots and the conversation swung to backcountry skiing, not in any way that we were looking to buy anything for it (we weren't).

Thank you! One more positive review made me feel better and I went ahead and purchased. I’ll update the thread after I ski and tour on them in case anyone is curious about how they do.

In case anyone else is looking around a a deal (which took a lot of sleuthing to find), I purchased on sale at SkatePro. About $80 less all inclusive than one would pay at REI at full price but accounting for the 10% dividend).

Very interested to know what you think of them so far. Looking for bindings (most probably hybrid, for the reasons you listed) for a new-to-me ski I just bought for an upcoming Japan trip. Also considering Shift2, and Fritschi Tecton. I like the fact that you can ski on the tech toe, if necessary, if you happen to forget the alpine one.

I’ve only skiied on the alpine toes so far (at the resort) but those have been excellent. It feels more secure than the pure tech toe bindings I was demoing previously this season for about 5 days. It feels pretty easy to switch them out through I haven’t tried on the snow yet.
