Looks like Amer is finally going to show the world what it's been working on. From the little bit I've been able to gather, supposedly this is a hybrid binding -- with tech pins and no frame for efficient skinning, a toe that converts to be alpine-like on the way down, along with an alpine-like heel.
If it's everything it claims to be, it should give Fritschi's Tecton, and Marker's Kingpin a real run for its money.
I will say that typically I'm quite suspicious of big leaps in tech like this from a maker who hasn't spent a lot of time in the touring-binding space. But given they've had time to draw off market leaders like the Kingpin and Tecton, and this year came out with a very solid lightweight-touring binding for their first try -- I'm darn excited.
