Advanced
Strength:
solid, uncompromised performance. Easy in easy out even in deep powpow.
Weakness:
expensive but worth every penny. Must be coupled with flow boots(another $200+). Can get packed with ice like all other bindings requiring time to clean. Hard to get it to fit just right, but when it is set it stays right where it is for you next time, every time. This is my sixth year riding and I''ve tried everything from clickers to strap-ins. These bindings put the rest to shame! They provide every bit of support I need for high speed crusing without the foot pain I got from my previous bindings. These bindings coupled with the Domain boots (which are also of superior quality)and a K2 Eldorado(Pow Shredder) make for a coalescense of pure harmony (or flow as it were). When you''ve tried the rest get on the flow bandwagon. Similar Products Used: K2 Clickers, a variety of strapins |

Intermediate
Strength:
Ease of use (faster on/off = more runs) Excellent control (feels solid as straps) Accepts most any boot Backcountry situations (hiking) Customized foot pads
Weakness:
Someone else can ride off with your board in 2 seconds. Lower end models used to break--supposedly problems fixed now. Costs more (gets 1 ding for price) Gotta love these bindings. Have tried step-ins and straps. These just leave others in the dust! Insert foot, fkip the buckle and you''re off. 4 years and have not broken them yet. Been riding 6 years, pipe, park and trees if there''s powder. I am buying the same again (carbon model) with my new board this year. Similar Products Used: K2 step-ins, straps, don''t even come close |

Beginner
Strength:
No pressure points like strap-ins. Don''t have to sit on my butt to get into them. Very comfortable.
Weakness:
None I am a 25 year skier who decided on getting into snowboarding. Because I know the value of good equipment, I dedided to get the best right away. I read and talked to many people and decided to go with Flow Carbons and forget the experimental stage trying straps and step-ins. The bindings are great. They provide the best of both worlds. Great support and ease of entry. No sitting on my butt when I get off the chair. Just slip my foot in before I exit the chair an go. The riders on their butts look in envy and can''t believe it. Although I am a beginner I have already gone 20 plus time this year. So I have taken these binding from wrecking and crashing a lot to carving and jumping. I am so lucky I decided to get the bindings upfront. Everyone on the slopes love em and want a pair. In the end I am very satisfied and happy with my bindings and Flow Domain boots. I purchased the corresponding boot and it fits great. I would by the boot a half size or so smaller though because mine did pack out quite a bit and I had to purchase a smaller pair. Take care and thanks to all those who read this post and write their own post regarding equipment. I know this helped me out a lot. Mark |
