Got these bindings at a discount which make them even sweeter. The first time I strapped into them, I was shocked by the comfort and support they provided. I use an XL and the high back gives me the perfect support and leverage for tight carves on my heel edge and the extending toe plate for my toes edge. The response is solid, but not too hard. The extra padding on the toe plate make landings enjoyable as I have had my knees reconstructed several times over the last 4 years. I rode hard for 4 days in a row on these bindings hitting the park, pipe, powder, and chord, and I have to say that my knees felt great with the extra padding. The only downfall that comes to mind regarding these bindings is that during 7ft+ landings the bindings did feel slightly too stiff. The straps distribute the pressure across your boots evenly for a snug fit and the convertible toe strap rivals Burton's toecap.

You are correct they are easy to tighten and release, but if you haven't rode them why would you rate them.

It works as described, soft at low speeds but when the speed picks up it really stiffens. Quite incredible actually! The edge really works for you during the turn so you don't have to. Nice mix between a park board, and a back country board. However, it must be noted that I rode this in some fresh pow for most of the day with a stint on the groomed stuff and in the park. It was only a stint because I felt guilty for separating this board from the pow as it performed with top marks in it. If you want a board that can do it all, salomon got it right with this one.
