Frame touring bindings can be a solid choice if you're primarily a resort skier who wants to venture into the sidecountry occasionally. The big advantage is compatibility — they work with standard alpine boots, so you don't need to buy a separate touring boot just to earn a few turns.
On the downhill, frame bindings perform much closer to traditional alpine bindings than lightweight pin-tech options, giving you better power transmission and a more familiar feel. The tradeoff is weight. Because the entire heel piece pivots as a frame, they're noticeably heavier on the skin track compared to pin bindings. If you're doing short tours off the lift or half-day missions, that weight is manageable. For longer, full-day tours, the heft becomes fatiguing.
One thing to consider: hybrid bindings like the Salomon Shift have largely replaced frame bindings for this use case. They offer pin-style touring efficiency with alpine-style downhill performance, though at a higher price point. If you're on a budget or already own alpine boots, frame bindings still get the job done for occasional touring.
