There are many great things about this binding: durability, reliability, simplicity, etc...
If it fits with your boot than that is awesome and I would highly recommend it.
However, I have a huge issue with its compatibility with my Technica Zero G Pro Tours. When the toe is locked off in the fully locked position while skinning, it is in such a vertical position that when the boot rotates forward it unlocks the toe.

Cons:
- very warm
- poor to moderate range of motion (only really an issue if you're doing lots of flat skinning)
- fabric on the inside wore out after about 120 uses.
- may...
