rep told me that most of the people he talked to skied the set up with the bindings clicked up once. While i get that for charging in alpine boots in dynafits I still don't like the idea of my boots only working in the dynafits if they are locked out even if it is just one click. Everything i've read and experienced about the binding is that you shouldn't have to lock them out skiing normally. The only time i've locked them skiing is when I have been above a no fall zone where losing a ski is not an option.
