Will Solomon Gaurdians ruin my skis flex

no

HamishJohnsonDo you think Solomon guardian bindings (rail AT binding) will effect the flex of my ski much?
What are your general thoughts on the binding?

What ski? My opinion is that it won't affect a ski that is already stout underfoot but may interfere with a very flexible ski.

Why do you want frame bindings?

If you're an ex-racer or really in-tune with your skis, you might notice a slight difference. But as someone already noted, most skis are super stiff underfoot anyway, so most people don't notice them flexing there anyway. I think the vast majority of skiers wouldn't notice it enough for it to warrant being a deciding factor.

As for the binding itself, like all frame bindings, it's fine for occasional touring. With the Shift and CAST, I think frame bindings are now obsolete if you tour a lot and/or already have boots with tech fittings. But if you're looking to get into touring and aren't sure if you'll be doing it a lot, it'll be fine. If I had to choose a frame binding, I'd go with the Tyrolia Adrenalin as it's a bit lighter and has a slightly lower stack height, but they're all very similar overall.

yes.
they will very much effect the flex of your skis in a negative way

Alright thanks for your help guys good to know. After doing a bit of re search I think I will go with attack 13 and day makers instead
