Got last year's model off WhiskeyMilitia and love them dearly, but IF YOU HAVE LAST YEAR'S BINDINGS ('07/'08) BE WARNED: Technine's manufacturer included DEFECTIVE screws with the bindings. It only took one adjustment of the highbacks with a generic philips screwdriver to strip the screw heads to the point of being unusable. I talked to the warranty guys and they said (1) the screws were supposed to come with Locktite to prevent the threads and heads from being stripped, but the manufacturer f*ked up and sent the bindings out with bunk screws, and (2) it's only safe to use a #3 phillips-head screwdriver so they don't get stripped. In spite of this they were very accommodating and offered to ship all kinds of stuff to fix them for free. So, if you have last year's model, the ONLY screwdriver to use to adjust the bindings is a #3 Phillips-head screwdriver.

That being said, the warranty guy told me they don't use those screws anymore for the latest '08/'09 model and the problem has been fixed. So rock on and buy these bindings, they're straight gangster. Super responsive on ice or powder and infinite adjustments mean they'll fit any boot like a glove.

i bought these binding and the front toe strap broke off on the 1st day i rode them, then i got replacements and the leather on them tear right away, overall they look good but are horrible quality i suggest DONT buy these unless you are looking to sit in the lodge with broken bindings while your boys are out shreddin it up

I bought last years model on whiskey militia and to be blunt i was not impressed. I returned them before i even bothered to take them to the mountain. the ratchet system slips - the adjustment on the highback looks flimsy - and the adjustment on the straps (for larger or smaller boots) is made of plastic. overall these seem to be a low grade binding. - sure they have many adjustments - but those will do you little good if the binding breaks when you are ripping down the mtn.
