I'm thinking about buying the Flow bindings for my snowboard, but i don't know anything about them? |
What are some of the cons? (specifically the flow team bindings) -Flow bindings combine the feel of a strap binding with the ease of a step-in binding. -Release the high back so it reclines, slide your foot in, then snap the high back into place. its that easy -A large "tongue" covers the entire top of your foot. for more comfort Flow bindings are the easiest snowboard bindings on the market to get in and out of - even easier than regular step-ins. Just recline the high-back, slide your foot in and snap the high-back up and into place. They are also compatible with any soft boot - a huge advantage because it lets you choose from a wide variety of boots to find the best fit. (Regular step-in boots and bindings must be purchased in tandem to be compatible with each other.) The downsides? Flow bindings are difficult to set up and adjust, and if you ever want to change your stance or transfer the bindings to another board it will take some time to get all your adjustments back in place. Also, they don't fold down so you can put them in a car roof rack. Pros -Very easy to get foot in and out -Similar feel to a strap binding -Compatible with any soft boot Cons -Can't fold down for placement in a car rack -Time-consuming to mount and adjust -Not anatomically shaped Source(s): hope this helps Flow Bindings are making their mark on the Snowboarding industry with their patented technology that you will ONLY find with Flow. This new technology is much easier at the top of the hill and at the bottom with their impressive step-in, step-out technology and gives you a tight secure hold all the way down the mountain. Flow binding is where snowboarding is headed...so dont be the last to be stuck ratcheting in and out. tightboards.com/flow For me FLOW is the easiest to use on the slopes. True is the fact that you might have difficulties set -up the straps. But once you done, you don't have to do it for the rest off the vacation. When you come out of the lifts,the FLOW-bindings are must faster. You are half way down, before a boarder with strap bindings is ready to go. They have to adjust their straps every time again! Use FLOW myself as the kymster said: " Cons -Can't fold down for placement in a car rack -Time-consuming to mount and adjust -Not anatomically shaped " for all the pros of the flows and non of its cons , you should check out the k2 cinch. It has the same sort of reclining back like the flows for easy entry, except instead of the patch that covers your boot, the k2 cinch has two ratchet straps like a traditional strap binding. This allows you to easily adjust your bindings on the mountain whenever you want, and also give you the option to strap in normally like normal bindings. this also lets you fold down the highback so you can put it on a roof rack. The k2 cinch also doesnt look ugly like the flows with the patch thing, they look like normal ratchet bindings. |
