Seth had two pairs on his sticks this summer and he said they were working out thus far but hadn't really fully tested the durability...meaning giant backflips off 80ft. cliffs.

Atomic came out with the exact same thing in Atomic graphics. It was on the internetz recently.

I guess I could at least add that the stack height on the atomic and salomon AT binding is much less than the Duke or Baron, and from what I heard from Daron Rhalves is that they're holding up well for him, about all I can input off the top of my head.

quick stats:
*50/50 collab between Salomon & Atomic
*1.5 cm lower stand height than Duke
*wider mounting points, wider in general
*no need to step out of binding to switch from Ski to Tour mode
*from Tour to Ski mode, just step down and binding automatically locks down
*as ski flexes, binding engagement increases (opposite of a Fritschi)
*slightly heavier than Duke (forget the weight off the top of my head, but it is only slight)
*16 DIN only

I would think they only make it in their 9-16 range, as opposed to their 6-14 and 4-12 etc.

With onenerdykids description in mind they actually sound pretty legit. I like the much lower ride height than the Markers. That is a huge selling point for me.

Salomon Guardian and Atomic Tracker will be a 16 DIN binding only, with a range from 7-16. There is not a lower DIN option for year one.

Small: 265-320 BSL
Large: 305-380 BSL
