Strength:
Hold up to the punishment of a 220lb beast such as me. Stiff. Comfy padded straps. Bonus gas pedal...
Weakness:
Ankle strap adjustment piece that snaps with little abuse... easily fixed with a T-nut, Machine screw and a drill. Minus a design flaw, these are pretty good bindings. Very comfortable, and strong once the proper mod is made. Similar Products Used: Burton, Rossignol, Drake |

Strength:
adjustable, has toe lift.
Weakness:
ankle strap, seems poorly made, is held together with a small plastic piece that is easily broken. Easily adjusted with tools, toe lift was a plus, found that the ankle and toe straps were poorly made. The pading on the staps was falling off in the middle on the first season and the ankle strap broke at the end of the season. (And I don't ride them very hard) Part was covered under warranty but seems to be taking a long time for Sims to replace. (All summer and I still haven't recieved the part) Might as well have bought a new strap. Similar Products Used: First binding I've owned. |

Strength:
Very well made. Durable, sturdy construction.
Weakness:
Lack of comfort. Terrible buckle release. I got these to replace a set of Santa Cruz bindings that tore on me. Unfortunately, I should have stuck with a rip in my ankle strap as I had two big problems with the Up Link bindings. No matter how I adjusted them to my feet, they caused a great deal of pain AND the buckles were near impossible to release. I just returned them today and hope that my next bindings will be MUCH better. |

At First, I thought that these bindings were an alright product, but the FIRST time i took them out on the hill, they broke. I was extremely bitter with this, and then became even more so when i found that the ratchet broke as well. Then which made this situation, all the more beautiful, on another run, the next day, the other binding had fallen apart as well. The ratchets were great (apart from breaking), as well as the "gas pedal" type thing. If there were a possible ZERO out of FIVE, it would definately take the ZERO. |

Strength:
Everything is adjustable. The toe ramp is excellent.
Weakness:
A small plastic piece holds the ankle strap together. It has broken on EVERY run that I have taken with these bindings!! The bolts loosen easily. These bindings are terrible. The both ankle straps broke on my first day. After repairng them both broke again on my second day. Garbage!!! Good bindings if you want to pay an extra $100 dollars on after market ankle straps. Sims website is useless for customer service! Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
1.Just like the Posi-LINK except not as expensive 2.colourways- i love the blue ones 3.really rare- u have to get a.s.a.p! 4.everything is adjustable 5.improved design e.g. wider POWER RAMP and higher and stiffer Control Back
Weakness:
None These bindings are D-O-P-E. Absolutely the best! It is a new model in the Sims LINK binding line which is exactly the same as the Posi-LINK minus the aluminum baseplate other than that everything is the same. I really like the binding because its adjustable everywhere and that its a nice and responsive binding...don''t let the plastic baseplate fool you, its stiffer and more responsive than you think. This year''s model far exceeds the LINK''s that SIMS has ever made Similar Products Used: Rental Crap |
