Pros: Lightweight, Comfortable, Well known brand, Easy installation

Other Thoughts: Bought these for my wife as she is just getting into snowboarding. Set them up on the new Palmer board, and she strapped in the boots. They hold VERY well, with no pressure points on her feet. We havent had the chance to take them to a mountain yet, but they look like they will hold up very well, just like all the rest of the Burton bindings.

Pros: Great value, Soft, Well known brand

Other Thoughts: So I bought this for my wife as she is getting into snowboarding. I used to have a Palmer board, and loved it. Unfortunatly, my taste changed for the riding I did, so I sold I sold it to get a bigger board. Big mistake. I read the other reviews, and I must say they are spot on. It is flexi enough for a beginner, as it will eb easy for her to turn. Plus, it is just plain white/black, which looks sweet. I set it up with some Burton bindings that i bought on here, and her feet fit PERFECTLY (Size 9 womens). For the 480, you can not---I repeat--NOT beat this board.
