Im gonna be buying 2 sets of bindings for the 2011 season. Ive had "rear entry" bindings like flows and k2 cinch's before. i hated the flows but the cinchs were good just too heavy. Im looking to get reg bindings but ones where i can get out of real quick. what i mean is theres a tab on the rachets that u hit and the ankle and toe straps come loose. A friend recomended union forces which i think look good but i dont see that quick release tab on the toe strap. Ride's have them on both ankle and top straps but the padding seems too thin. Rome bindings have it and look comfortable but are they good bindings?

Basically i want a strong but light binding that i can get out of quick. I have a board for just the park and another one for bombing the mountian.

That button is pretty difficult to depress. You have to give it the right pressure to unlock it. Its even more difficult to depress if the strap is on really tight. I found that out with use. I don't see how you could depress that button unless someone hit you and they happen to hit that exact spot on your binding.

that was a nice feature though for long trips up the mountain on chair lifts.

How is it that this post is looking dealing with ratchets mainly and NO ONE has mentionewd burton yet? In my opinion they have, hands down the smoothest binding systems out there. The ratchets never come loose unless you want them to, and they can be undone in no time flat. Check out the burton custom binding. You cant go wrong
