The Fritschi Freeride has received accolades from the top ski magazines and, from what I’ve seen, is the choice of AT skiers. Most AT skiers I know ride on these bindings. The Freeride is lightweight for touring, and sturdy for bombing the groomers at the resort. You can quickly adjust the climbing block height to three levels, and lock the binding down with the handle of your ski pole.

The Scarpa TX or Terminator X was designed for the Rottefella NTN telemark binding. Due to the new binding system, the boot does not have the traditional "duck bill" of a telemark boot. There is a flange beneath the front half of the boot that catches the binding. These boots are Dynafit compatible, so you can buy one pair of boots for your Randonee and Telemark set-ups. Believe me, they are definitely stiff enough for your AT skis.

Polar Pak’s MOFLOW provides you with a pressurized water bladder.  We tested the MOFLOW while mountain biking in the Tetons, and were impressed by how well the bladder rode in our packs, and how quickly and easily the water was discharged.  As you can see from the picture, once you inflate or pressurize the MOFLOW, it becomes very rigid and slides into a pack with ease.
