Strength:

large sizes. solid for low quality materials

Weakness:

plastic straps arent made to last. no real ramps like ride bindings gas pedal extensions are pretty crappy

I''m a bigfoot so find it hard to get bindings to fit my boots - Burton do well to provide a range of large bindings. I accidentally stepped on the plastic toe strap once and it broke - luckily the burton dealer replaced it immediately no charge. Next the foam part of the gas pedals came off - again replaced free on the mountain. Otherwise had no probs with them - screws come loose but that happens with any bindings. The big prob is definitely the plastic straps as they are now getting cut up and will need to be replaced.

I am not all that pleased with these bindings. I was told they where pretty good, but after about the second time out, the straps constantly keep coming loose and I lost one of the straps on the rear.

Good Bindings. I haven''t had any problems with them, except maybe the plastic ratchets. When Im strapping in sometimes the ratchets slip but ehn im going down hill they stay tight.

Purchased 2 sets of these bindings for my sons age 15 and 13. First day on the slopes, they both came back with missing parts. The gel strap fell off and was lost on one set and the little clasp on the back heel of the other set fell off. I bought these because of their good reputation. I am quite dissapointed to say the least. I am just glad my kids didn''t get injured because of it.

Shop is closed today. I will bring the bindings back tomorrow.

OK... im am officially retracting my previous review. The first trip i took my customs on, they worked great. I just took them on their second... and on the second run.... the GAS PEDAL broke!!!! OMG! WTF?!??!?!! oh.. decals began to come off and the bindings came loose a bit on a turn. The plastic construction is a bit to PLASTIC for me. oh well... so i returned them and bought GNU G3. We''''ll see how they work....

These bindings are great. I took them up to big bear and heavenly. THey work great. Great feel and control. I love the colors, and all that you can do to customize it to your fit. I ride a burton Rippey, and they go together perfectly. One thing I dont like about it is its plastic construction. They are sturdey however, sometimes i feel like they''re gonna break. But, i guess all things break someday. I love these bindingS!!!
