A cheaper binding than the Missions and it shows in some respects. The highbacks don't clip onto the toe plate as with
the Missions but still fold down. As with the Stargates it can compromise the support that the highbacks give. Like all
bindings, the forward lean can be adjusted to push you forward in your stance, which can make carving easier (even though
it burns your quads for the first few hours while you get used to it). The plastic stiffened overnight, making it difficult
to do the bindings up on cold mornings, especially if you're wearing mittens and wrist guards. There are no toe plates on
these bindings so if you have big feet or the board is a little too narrow, toe drag is a possibility. I'm not sure if it
was just the bindings I had or if it was a general design flaw, but as the bindings aged everyday movement, particularly on
black runs snapped the bolts out of the bindings.
