Hi, saw that you describe the nylon/mohair ratio as 65/35. When I look on BD's site, they have the skins as 65% mohair/35% nylon. Just wanted to give you the heads up!

Hot tip: if you want/need to do a toe shift on your Vario.2 bindings, use an ATK or Kreutspitze toe shift plate, then the Titan Toe Lock Plate fits just fine under the Vario.2 toe to use in place of the OE toe shim to maintain normal toe/heel delta.

Do you think the 60x60 mount pattern of the R08A and R16A plates would be too wide for the ol' supposed H-shaped reinforcement area of the BMT 94?

Total weight-weenie question, just curious what the weight of the strap is on these, thanks! Just curious how close the weight is to the LT w/o the strap.

I’ve now got these on three of my skis. They’re doing great. Entry is pretty easy, not really too much to get used to. I definitely need to flip the lever up to climb mode when climbing. Haven’t had a pre-release on the 7-10 spring, but haven’t really pushed them hard. These’ll be my go-to binding for any dedicated b/c setup.
Only thing I’d change is to have some kind of wedge in the heel to clear snow from under boot heel when in flat mode. Does pack up when in fresh snow and in flat mode.
