Strength:

I have them set to 9 and they have never released on me when I haven't wanted them to, even in deep powder on heavy turns. However they have always kicked my boots out on falls where injury may have been an issue.

Weakness:

Not really a weakness but you are better off getting the drive plates as well to get the full benefit of the binding

An awesome binding, have been skiing for 15 years and this is the first binding that hasn't yet let me down. A very safe option.

Strength:

No early releases, EVER. I ski pretty hard and am of average build. Once I cranked the DIN to 10, I never came out except in situations where an injury was questionable. Good rise for getting on edge, but not ridiculous enough to lose stability

Weakness:

None jump out at me, once in a blue moon (maybe once per season), I'll come out early from the side.

Soloman bindings have always satisfied, the main reason I've used nothing else.

Similar Products Used:

I've skied salomon bindings for twelve years and seen many friends get pissed off about their Markers releasing early.
