![]() ![]() Reason for getting these, im in my 40s and my family all ski so needed something quick and easy to get in and out of. Particular favourites were Burton Cartels. I've previously had K2 cinch, Flows and variety of other bindings. Just got back from a week away with a pair of the Supermatics. The bit of extra weight on each foot doesn't bother me I only do the smaller kickers at best and as a % of my overall kitted out weight I don't expect I'll even notice it. Good innovation in principle, hope it performs as well. I just gets a bit a dull constantly bending over even if it is only 20 seconds per binding. I agree it doesn't take long to strap in and I've done it for the last 20+ years, but honestly knocking on a bit it gets a ball ache especially when following the kids lapping the park, or even on an average day hitting 25-35 lifts plus toilet, lunch, drinks stoppages. Looking forward to trying them out and I just hope they respond as well and that they last. Snapping in is a dream even when dry and tightly cranked, and rocking forth and back on the carpet and torsionally twisting the board, they feel solid and they feel like my traditional bindings. Yet to try them on snow, but they feel solid and well built. Cheers guys for quick delivery and a black friday discount. Had myn delivered Monday, after ordering last week from Coyoti in South Wales. They won't suit someone needing lightweight performance or top stiffness of course, but otherwise look like they are on the money if you can stomach an extra £100 ish for the engineering that's gone into it. It looks like a great piece of engineering, the first real advance in bindings, I think, for many years (other than burton step on maybe) and the reviews of them in use look good. Easy to tweak with ratchets like a conventional binding if snow builds up or you want a looser or tighter fit, can use as a conventional binding if in deep pow or you've hiked and are strapping in on steep, and the high back has forward lean adjustment, and folds in for skating/lift use. The super's seem to address all of that with their design. I much preferred a conventional binding with toe cap Didn't have forward lean control (they might do now?), I didn't like the high back sticking out when skating & using lifts, and snow underfoot made it tight to get into and a faff to adjust. So I tried flows in the early days but decided they weren't for me. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-) ![]() ![]() We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either). When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company). as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. ![]()
