small bindings???!!

By Ranked #951 - Alpine Fat Skis September 3, 2009

Guys guys guys, to avoid customer disappointment, like this, please consider revising the sales pitch to include the fact that the bindings provided are size SMALL. I just got this package and was thrilled until I realized that the bindings will only fit a nine year old’s boot. Now I’ve got to hassle with sending all of this back and I really just want to hit the slopes.

These small bindings which come on these Answers fit boot sole lengths 265-320mm large fits through 305-370. The reason they come with small bindings is because they fit mondo sizes 22(BSL 265+) through 27. Most skiers require the small size and sold separately, Dukes sell out in the small sizes first. (Large dukes fit 26[BSL 305+] through 32.

most ski boots up to size 9 (27.5) fit into the SMALL size of this binding. Most good skiers with a size 11 shoe or smaller wear a size 9 or smaller boot..this binding fits most skiers.

The FR 16 IQ bindings fit boots from 265mm to 365mm. They do not come in two sizes like Dukes, just one size that has an adjustment to make it equate to size small or large dukes. Should fit boots from 22.5 to 32.5 or so.
