i have personally seen this binding explode. they suck so bad, my friend has these on his thrusters and every time he lands it seems he pops out. he has em cranked up as far as they go and they still suck. youd be much better off with next years salomon z40 bindings. they havent come out yet but word on the street is that they use a duct tape toe piece and velcro heel piece to make sure you always release!

it may be the cheapest salomon binding, but its tight. im not a begginer and i ski all over the mountain and these things hold me in. i dont have these things maxed out and theyve never popped when i didnt want them 2... really solid really light realitivly inexpensive. gotem mounted on salomon suspects and its a pretty sick setup.

I can tell a huge difference in weight on my feet. I use to have issues with my old gear of weighing down my feet to the point it tired me out. The combination of these bindings and my new skis have help greatly. I'm skiing 8-10 straight hours with little fatigue. I also like that these bindings will hold me in but come off every time they are supposed to (ex. amateur skiers running into you).

If your a progressive skier who is interested in park or back country these are not the bindings for you. They hold up ok but i've had plenty of times when they've ejected when they shouldn't. There's a reason that pros don't use the Z series. pay 50 bucks extra for the S12 and get a fantastic binding, lighter, and a higher din.

I have a set of these bindings. I would recommend them only if you are planning to ski groomers with them. I broke the base plate on my heel piece and I still haven't replaced the part. The bindings will preform well if you don't plan on pushing the envelope in freestyle skiing. and at that price i would recommend

I have these bindings and i have never skied on anything lighter. They adjust around your boot for a more nateral feeling. These bindings never pop out when you dont nee them to and always pop out when your on your way to breaking your leg.
