Terrain Use: Speed, Powder, Carving, Backcountry, Groomers, All Mountain

Pros: Adjustability, Easy in & out, Boot hold, Durable, Good construction quality, Comfortable, Popular model, Easy installation

Other Thoughts: I jumped on the bandwagon with these forces and I was not disappointed. I got the L/XL bindings and had to mess around with it to adjust to my size 10 boot, but these bindings are super comfy. Most of the time, I don't even feel the bindings. These are fairly soft, but responsive enough at higher speeds, so its a good mix. One thing I've noticed is that the screws holding the straps tend to come loose pretty easily, but they are long enough so not much worry about them falling out. Gotta keep playing around with the binding adjustments to find what I like best, but I would definitely recommend these.

Pros: Warm, wicks sweat, light

Other Thoughts: I sweat a lot so I need a good layer that wicks sweat. I am happy with Burton's thermal layers that wick the sweat away and keep you warm and dry. I have a tshirt that does this as well and both function great. Its also nice because it isn't so bulky and doesn't bunch up in the arms too much like heavier layers do.

Terrain Use: Powder, Carving, Backcountry, Groomers, All Mountain

Pros: Adjustability, Easy in & out, Boot hold, Durable, Comfortable, Well known brand, Popular model, Easy installation

Other Thoughts: Its a decent beginners binding. However, rather than going with the customs I would just opt and get one of the better bindings to start out. However, with that said, these bindings still do the job great. They are durable, comfortable, etc.
