Terrain Use: Jumps, Boxes and Rails, Speed, Powder, Carving, Backcountry, Groomers, All Mountain

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

Other Thoughts: Well, this is one of the few items that I didn't buy from Sierra. Unfortunately, they were out of stock and unable to feed the need. However, this binding is awesome. I have a regular pair of CO2's as well, but needed EST's for a new Hero I purchased. Note: IF you have boot slippage in this binding, YOU have not adjusted your bindings correctly or cinched them tight enough or, face it you bought a size that was too large. The padding and straps on this binding are superior to any I've had. The highbacks are more durable that that of the Triad (the threadding between the frame was not durable at all and had other structural problems as well).

Pros: Adjustability, Easy in & out

Cons: Boot slippage, Uncomfortable

Other Thoughts: Granted, the price is cheap, but I would definitely recommend spending the extra $60 to purchase the Mission bindings. The straps are padded, the toe is a cap-strap instead of over the top of your foot and they look much better. These bindings allow for way too much boot slippage IMO. The straps are not very comfortable as well.

Other Thoughts: The murderous rampage continues. These are an excellent binding; one of the best beginner's bindings on the market. The highbacks aren't as rigid and don't have as much forward lean as the more pricey bindings (meant for more advanced riders). The Mission's are solid, soft and very comfortable, adding great boot hold as well as excellent durability. $ for $ one of the best bindings out.
