New favourite bindings
van Carl, Blue Tomato Shop Oslo, Blue Tomato, 9 jan. 2023
I wanted to get som new bindings that would suit for park, groomers and freeride. From before I have Malavita and they are a bit too soft, so I wanted to try someones with more respons and stiffness. I wear EU 45 and got the size medium. The mediums go to EU 44,5 and when stretching out the plate they just fit. And the space on the sides of the boot are more narrow and gives better fit in general. I have experienced wide bindings and not a fan. My weight is 88kg so that's another why I went for stiffer bindings that could give more support when I ride.
First try was at opening day in Hemsedal, Norway this season and it had been pumping down with snow. I ride +20 and 0, tilted highbacks and likes to align the highbacks to the snowboards edge line. Thats a thing I really like with this bindings are the all adjustments you can do. Also the huge toestraps that feels good without pressing too much. The whole day I went from fresh grooms, powder in open terrain and forest, and also jumps. Gotta say They where better then what I expected and they got me pumped. I have since only used this ones on my directional camber board, my powder fish board and twin board. The only negative thing seems to be the aluminium buckles seems already a little bit loose, but they still hold super tight.
Highly recommended for those that are looking for a medium plus stiff binding with all-mountain focus. Riders over 80kg would have the most use for this since when you are going on in the park, quick turns in the pow or just carving on grooms, you will enjoy this ones. If you are a size EU 45, try medium size.
