Can you break down the differences between this and their Rad cord? Thanks.

I have used these with Solomon Shift Binders on Volkl Kendo boards, almost entirely inbounds (the main reason I got the shift is to have a heavier binding which fit the boot.) I have had zero issues over a couple of seasons heavy use. The skis look worse for wear, but the boots and bindings are in great shape. I rarely release but when I needed to I did. I did have a pro setup the DIN settings, which I would normally do on my own for BC setups.

I used these for several years with no complaints. Reviews as per the above.

I'll admit this is based on my first one of these, and I'm on to the 2nd. It's been a great daily tool for trad rock and ice, and I think it's the perfect balance of weight, handling and overall Mammut excellence. They have always made my favorite ropes, and while I respect other makers, these are IMHO the best. I would not hangdog or travel glaciers with it, but for what I do, it's a fantastic cord. I have mostly used a 60 m for rock and 70 for ice, but your results may vary. It also lasts longer than you'...

thanks Nat. I went with the 125 and was pleased, except they are a bit slick when you choke up.
