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 :-)

Just had a pair through the shop, made me think about my future son and changing nappys.

I had a play about with a pair on Sunday and it seems as if there is a whole lot of unnecessary plastic Confused

Expensive too.

Slow, unnatural toe piece. This year they have "improved" the climbing bar, it's no longer made of papier-mâché, some 're-cycled' plastic parts - hey it's green man.

You see quite a few of them here in BC, obviously. I've spoken to lots of owners and I can't work out if they just bought the "emperors' ", virtually no "koolaid drinkers" - unlike Dynafit, all the owners here love to was lyrical about the joys of light is right.

It's a shame really, on paper it sounds great: easy swap out between ski sets w/ plates, some funky think which "boosts" the DIN (whatever), "easy-to-enage-even-easier-to-break" climbing bar.

I think the over built it on purpose to give fat North Americans a "burly binding" experience. It looks like they over spent in R&D and skimped in materials, and still over charged. I predict an improved version in the next year or two if they can re-coupe enough money to machine it.

Unlike the classy Italians which just rip off the exact same designs as Dynafit, only sometimes they charge even more money for them! Puzzled Plums look sweet...
