Strengths: Nice bindings, somewhat weighty from all the aluminum and hardware. Speaking of the hardware, it`s nice, maybe a little too flashy and maybe unnecessarily complicated. The ratchet takes a while to get used to, especially on the release. The ankle strap is very comfortable and you can adjust the position without tools, which is good if you find that they`re loose. The bindings are stiff and very responsive. A solid pair.

Weaknesses: I broke one of the plastic ratchet straps, but it was no big deal. Some guy at Princeton Ski Shops hooked me up with one for free. Sometimes I wish the footbed had a little more cush for the landings, but in reality, it`s not bad.

Strengths: Nice padded strap. The convertible Toe strap is nice, although I can`t really tell a difference between having it on the top of the boot and on the front. Nice Ratchets. A good amount of padding on the base. Stiff binding that holds your boot really well. Easy adjustments on the mountain for the length of the heel and toe strap.

Weaknesses: Claims to be adjustable and has a bunch of different holes but none of them really line up well except the ones that the factory has put them on. The chrome on the ratchet chips off but it is only cosmetic.
