Burton Cartels 2012 restricted vs normal - Snowboarding Forum

Kaelan2011 · 10-25-2011, 12:29 PM

Hey lads,

I'm planning to buy the 2012 Burton Cartels, but looking for some experiences with the phat asymmetrical anklestrap. Since prices seem to be exactly the same I was wondering how people have experienced the restricted version. They look nice and comfy, but would they restrict

your movement significantly? Or is it a no-brainer and should I go for the Restricted version without a doubt?

Background:
Intermediate rider, mainly all-mountain riding, bit of jumping etc. NS proto CT is on its way. 5'7' and 130 lbs.

Cheers

I LOVE the asym strap... find them much more comfortable than the regular cartel straps... which actually gave my flat feet pain after a an hour.
