Summary:
this binding is horrible...let me count the ways...first, the drake letters on the heel cup peels off very easily, this was a bad design on the part of Drake, they should have imprinted their insignia onto the heel back. second, their high back is supposed to be the strongest in the industry, i say bullsh_t since both the left and right high backs cracked on me (i admit i have taken some bad spills but still no excuse for Drake. third, the rubber on the front straps are ripping apart.

Summary:
I had high expectations of these bindings, later to find out that they aren't worth a penny of what i paid for them. In at the most, 15 days of riding (good full days), i ewnt through 3 pairs of ladder straps, and 2 sets of ratchets. I have had no problems with my Drake F50 bindings after riding them for 2 years. The podiums just continue to fall apart. I wouldnt' recommend them to anyone.

Summary:
Just want to warn everyone. The product is pretty good, but my bindings broke after the first two sessions. They replaced the broken part pretty quickly, however, by the end of the season the same part broke (heel pads/toe ramp). This time they said they couldn't do anything. Granted the bindings worked great when they were not broken, I am just disappointed that such a high priced binding has such poor customer service/quality. I have had problems with Burton Products and they are immediately helpful and have no problems replacing stuff for you. Maybe I just got a bum set, so keep an eye out on other reviews

Summary:
This Drake bindings are absolutely fantastic. I've been boarding for awhile with many different boards and bindings, and so far, this one was probably the lightest one of all. The carbon composite highback is great giving great performance every time you hit the snow, the lean forward adjuster is made out of plastic, but it's giving me no hassle unlike someone else who posted up a review here. I got the optional spring lean forward aid thing, and when you're hitting the pipe, and you're out of last breath, that little thing makes it so much easier to control the board.
