Good for split board

By Eddie Ranked #446 - Snowboard Bindings February 4, 2009

I got these to replace a pair of FLOW bindings on my Voile split board. The Flow bindings are a terrible choice for splits as they have inner ankle ratchet straps that will hit each other and break apart as you are skinning up. They might be good for the hill but don't even think about it for touring. FORUMS REPUBLIC, on the other hand, are fairly clean on the inner ankles and so far no problems with bashing the bindings together while skinning. I find that the FORUM is very stiff (good thing for me) and the straps are comfortable. The wrap-over toe strap has lifted off of the end of my boot a few times, still securing my foot above the toe like a traditional strap, but I didn't even notice it until I looked down, so not a big deal. There are tonnes of adjustments with this binding so they should be able to fit many different boots and sizes. Over all this is a well made, high end binding at a not so high end price. I own two pairs now, the other for my Arbor Crossbow. Highly recommended and at the SAC price it's a steal.
