No way to return item that is too small. That’s what I get for ordering online

Both toe straps broke after 10 times being used. Replacements came fast, but pretty sad quality.

They’re amazing but the latch messed up on me a few times while strapping in which killed some time from me boarding

I was incredibly excited to try these bindings, but found an issue with design that cut my second day of use short. If you step into the boots firmly when the heel pad is tilted back, there is a risk that the pivot point will pass all the way below the ratchet mechanism, making the step in function impossible to use unless fixed manually by "dry-locking" the ratchets and pushing the pivot points back through to get things to line up as intended and resume functionality. The binding were still usable when this occurred, but only as regular strap/unstrap bindings. Another issue I found was the eject button has issues firing when frozen and/or the binding straps are too tight. All in all, I still love the bindings and their mechanics, but think there are many areas for potential improvement with the next iteration.

Remove the connection to the toe boot, which i have found loose often. Either thin it out for the controlled snowbord feel or put it semi fixed lower.
