I hear the keys rattling over this thread.

there is no need or place for this kind of rhetoric on this site. If advice can`t be given without the inflammatory comments and insults, the post will be deleted. This site has remained friendly and helpful and we want everyone to feel at ease with asking for advice without fear of attack or ridicule. The great advice and experience is a welcome and valuable addition to the site, but this rhetoric will stop as of right now.

As to the topic about the 390`s....I own several pairs of these an couple sets of Arsenals based originally upon BA`s recommendation and I have never looked back. With every product, there can be an occasional defective part. I had one ladder strap break on the 390`s and it was really a fluke. I rode these bindings in Fairbanks, Alaska this winter at -38F and never broke a strap. Don`t give up on the 390`s; just order a couple of spares from Rome directly or your local dealer and chances are they will lay around the house for eternity and you will never need them.

So your saying you can ride normally with no knowledge that your top strap is broken?

giz us some hints please mr snowboardin avenger master pleeeeeeease

Yeah I'm saying just that. There's very little that hasn't happened to me in all the years I've been riding. Hence why I take the stand that gear breaks and you deal with it rather than piss and moan about it. Once people take into consideration that snowboard gear is expendible and go and jib rocks they'll be a lot happier.

i've covered this, all i did was state that it had broke easily and that i was pissed about it, that is not moaning. So if i manufacture something for you and you buy it for alot of money and it does not meet expectations, as in it breaks right away, are you going to shrug and go 'but stuff breaks owell'? No your not, your gonna demand your money back or a replacement, it doesn't matter what sport or activity the good is for.

Sorry but knowing how romes customer service is and the fact they'll ship me a part in 2 days if I did break something is no big deal to me. I stick to my guns you're one of them people that just pisses and moans. Don't step on your straps when you skate and they won't break.

duuuh, i never complained about their customer service. i complained about nothing. i STATED that my strap broke on the 4th day of riding!

Big deal to me. Theres a large difference in where we live.

The 390 is a Park biding right? And how about the Rome Targas, I heard pretty good stuff from them too, are they a park binding? My new binding should be mainly park but should also perform well on groomers, with a bit offpiste

Since I`m in desperate need of new bindings. Yesterday my plastic Burton Custom bindings broke after jumping off a kicker (3m high 6m long, personal record ).
