I currently have and use both Dynafits and Fritschis. Dynafits DO NOT pop out of tour mode when used properly. Dynafits tour way better than Fritschis. Not only are they way lighter than Fritschis, but they have a much better "stride". The only drawback with Dynafits is that you cannot (should not?) huck with them. They aren't very good for in-bounds either. If you can only buy one setup, I'd say go with the Fritschis. And, will you fatties please quit complaining about their weight? Try dropping a few pounds off that spare tire. That should take care of it.
