Initially, I had reservations due to its affordable price, but it has proven to be a worthwhile investment. One of the standout features of this binding is its user-friendly design for locking the boot. It simplifies the process, making it effortless and efficient. This convenience has been a significant improvement for me, as it saves both time and energy on the slopes. However, it's worth noting that there is a small drawback with the binding's back lever sometimes getting blocked by the boot sole when fully down. Although it's not ideal for releasing the boot, it doesn't overshadow the primary purpose of the binding, which is to make locking the boot easier and eliminate the need to sit down. In terms of build quality, the [Snowboard Binding Name] feels solid and durable, providing a sense of reliability while snowboarding. Considering its affordable price, it offers good value for money without compromising on performance or construction. In conclusion, if you're looking for a snowboard binding that simplifies the boot-locking process, the [Snowboard Binding Name] is a solid choice. Its ease of use and time-saving benefits make it a worthwhile investment. While there is a minor issue with the back lever, it doesn't diminish the binding's overall performance. Read more

I’ve been boarding for around 10 years, always with traditional bindings. It used to really frustrate me having to faff around with straps when getting to a flat spot or on/off lifts. The benefit with these is you dial in your tension once at the beginning of the trip and then your set. One clip on the back and fold the leg down to Slide out. Foot in, leg up, clip on the back and side when you’re setting off again- easy. The only thing which was a bit of an issue is when you’re strapping in on a slope. You end up sliding down the hill so sit down and then it can be awks to get your foot in. Basically, it’s all about technique which soon comes. Fittings for burton channel and normal bolt in so very handy if you’re taking different boards as this set of bindings does both. Not quite burton step ins, but mucho cheapero! Read more

2022 UPDATE TO BELOW: So I'm heading out to my third year with these next week. Have learned a lot. I now use my regular Burton binding for my front foot, which stays locked in. It has a higher back, and the back is canted towards the middle more in line with my front leg. (That said, the System on both would be just fine, too.) I use the System for my back foot. As noted below in 2019, I was struggling a bit with my heel catching on the binding back. I ground off the ridges on my boot heel, and ground a bit of the binding back-bottom arc opening to create more space. It still rubs, but moves in and out readily now--especially when it's cold and wet with show. Finally, I found some plastic shim sheets at True Value Hardware, I got some slightly longer bolts, applied bolt lock to them, and mounted both bindings with a 3 degree inward slant--like the expensive bindings these days have built into the footpad. It's hardly noticeable, as if looks mattered, and gets the bindings more in line with your legs. Bottom line, this makes a sweet, no-sit to strap, easy to use setup. Plus, the System is great on the lift. You can put your foot in instead of having the board hang twisting your ankle or sit on top of your boot with the edge fraying the laces. You're also more stable coming off the lift if you want to keep your foot in, even if the heel backing isn't up. ORIGINAL 2019 REVIEW: I've been riding a Switch setup for decades, and the old gear finally disintegrated. I had a pair of Flows, and didn't like them. Too hard to get into, and not tight enough. I tried the new Burton Step-On solution in a store, but I though they were hard to get into and out of. Plus, $700 seemed a bit extreme ... if you could even get your hands on them. I absolutely hated going back to strap-in after all these years. I usually boot up standing up, and it's still a pain. I ran across these, and gave them a try. These are super-clever in design. Set them up once, and forget it. The best feature is that when you lower the back, the ankle strap automatically loosens. This makes it easy to get into/out of. When you're back in, you just raise the heel lever, then click down the ankle lever. (You need to do it in that order.) It takes seconds. And you can do it standing up, no problem, without having to fight getting all the straps out of the way and inserted and ratcheted like with regular bindings. The plates have a ton of holes. They fit both my boards, and give you a lot of plate positioning options. The bindings seem well-made. They're light (31 oz), especially paired with my new-style boots. (The Switches were like walking around with lead weights on your legs.) Some things to consider: I have XL bindings with size 13 DC Scout Boa boots and size 12 Burton SLXs. As other reviewers have mentioned, my 13s catch a bit on the heel arc opening. The Burton soles are more angled front and back, and they go in/out just fine. The bindings sit lower on the board. I don't have any problem with heel/toe drag on my board (I got one wide enough), but I'm not a big carver. And I ride 6/0. There's not much padding in the footbed ... just some rubber inserts. So you'll feel it if you're jumping a lot. I don't feel it when riding. The boots/liners have plenty of padding. The binding footbeds are not canted. And on my model you can't adjust the heel back to slant left or right. (The newer models are supposed to have more adjustments.) There's a nifty cover for the baseplate, so it keeps snow/ice from forming in there and making it harder to insert your boot. In any conditions, you want to use your stomp pad to scrape the snow off the bottom of your boot. I love these. And all for $120 ... I bought a second pair just in case they quit making these.
