Raiden Phantom toestrap and Binding sizing - Snowboarding Forum

lorcar · 02-01-2010, 05:56 PM

Just watching the pics of this model on their website.
If I compare the Phantom toestrap with Machine's toestrap, the former is closed. Does that mean it is not supposed to stay across the front of your foot (I mean, really on the fingertoe, pushing down and back)? Does the 'close toestrap' sit just on top of your toes in the more traditional way?

PS: if the binding comes in size M and L, and your boot size is just in the middle, which one is better to get? going smaller or bigger?

what boot & size do you have

difference between M and L for Raiden is quite large

the toestrap can be worn however you want it and works as both a cap and traditional

i still have to buy boots. Shortlisted: burton ruler, salomon f22, salomon f20, northwave legend, nitro teal, nitro select.
I am european size 43, 9 uk, 10 US.
The problem is that I have no clue how a M binding differs from an L one.

the salomons should have no problem fitting into an M, the others might have problems (it's not the length, it's the width)

the nitro boots should obviously fit fine

i could maybe get a size 9 K2 boot into my raidens
