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 :-)

Watch the Angry Snowboarder review then go and buy the Nidecker ones (or the Burton ones).

As a more detailed reply, there should be red flags everywhere for this.

It's a prototype binding that's gone straight to production.

Literally the only reviews for months were paid for, influencer led reviews (to the point that you posting this makes me question whether you've been paid by them to).

They seem to shy away from open, impartial reviews that none of the major brands do.

I'd be very very wary having seen them up close. They look cheap and nasty but are very expensive.

Get the Nidecker ones in that case. I've got Step Ons for the same reasons but I'd probably do Nidecker now just for boot choices.

 After all it is free Go on u know u want to!

Also, all these systems really are game changers in terms of enjoyment if you've a bad back or anything. I'd struggle to be persuaded back to straps.

i wonder if you can hire any of these set ups out in the alps?

am going to VT at easter, my youngest will be swapping between skis and (rental) board that week, she has her own boots.

i used to board 20 odd years ago, and i had one of the original type of step in bindings, with the metal cleat under the boot, it sounded like i was tap dancing whilst walking down the street Toofy Grin Toofy Grin

i fancy giving it a go again with my daughter, but i really cannot be arsed to getting up and down strapping up the bindings

I’ve not tried the Clew bindings.
My opinion is they look weird.

I’m 2 seasons in on the Nidecker Supermatic and absolutely love them.
This season I have around 45 days riding with them and think they are awesome.

They are heavier than a conventional binding however I have come from using Flow bindings so use to the weight.

I'd be amazed if they do as the Nidecker ones are pretty high end compared to the usual rental sort of setup.

You might find one of the shops has stock they want to shift at Easter though that you might be able to demo for a few hours.

I don't know VT but there'll be decent local boardshops there for sure.

I’m currently in the 3V and have probably only seen five or six pairs of the Nidecker in the last two months.

Maybe two or three Clew and loads of burton step ins.

Maybe a email to Nidecker. Tell them where you will be in Easter and see if they have a dealer that can demo for you.

Personally. Just buy a pair. You will love them, and if you don’t, sell them on.

All of my mates use the flow binding.
They have all said they will upgrade to the Nidecker.
(Same company by the way)

Some places are renting the Burton step-on systems. ZeroG in Chamonix for sure and I think at least one place in Tignes.
