Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Which bindings for Rossignol Soul 7?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi folks — I'm thinking of getting a pair of Rossignol Soul 7 for next season, as I'm going to focus of off-piste:

http://www.rossignol.com/GB/GB/soul-7--2015--RAEQI01--product--alpine-men-skis.html

Whilst I understand (to some extent) about different ski types and qualities; I have zero understanding about bindings. To be honest, they all seem the same to me.

I'm just tempted to buy the Rossignol bindings they recommend for the Soul 7.

Could anyone enlighten me as to why I might consider other bindings and why they may be different and or better?

Many thanks in advance.

The Axial 3 is not a bad binding if you go that route, but personally I think the Salomon are the most user-friendly......

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@KenX, Thanks. What difference would I notice? In what way are the Salomon user friendly?

Thanks! Very Happy

@PeDaSp, Mine came with Axial 3 bindings but that was a package deal, I didn't have any old bindings with wide brakes.

Maybe check whether you get a longer warranty with bindings of the same brand.

Why would there be any degree of user friendliness? And why would brands affect guarantees?

@PeDaSp, I just find the Salomon easier to step into but have no real performance difference between the two. Fwiw I have the Axials mounted on K2 Pettitor 120mm and am perfectly happy with the retention/release. Just feel the Salomon are easier to step in and take off in deep snow.....

Are you considering doing some non lift accessed powder in which case you should consider a touring binding?

Agreed maybe a Touring binding, most bindings are fit for purpose but avoid Marker for off piste, they require more downward pressure making them harder to put on, especially in powder.
consider your weight and ability to ensure your din setting is comfortably in the specified range of your selected binding,

Thanks for your replies folks. I won't need at touring bindings, as I have no intention of walking-up any mountains thank you very much. What a strange habit Very Happy

I guess that for what I'm up to the Rossignol bindings will be fine. They come as a good package deal as well.

Thanks again.
