What Robert S. said above is about right. ... Either way, they require preliminary setup & adjustment, which is pretty much ignored by everyone I've met that owns them. If you take the time to get them right, they are the best attachment system on the market. I'll pipe in again and say this works for some, but not all. I gave these bindings the definite "college try." Tried several different adjustments. Even took them back to the shop (which sells a lot of Flows) and had them adjust the bindings with me standing in them. Also read everything I could find in this forum about adjustments. So, this is just a correction that for some, even if you know about all the adjustments...they still suck. Even knowing that Flows can be person specific, I quickly dismissed the idea of purchasing a pair for my girlfriend who would not want to adjust or tweek anything. I don't mind f*cking with things a bit, but most people want to get something set up once, when first installed, and the just forgot about it. This is true for most traditional straps and every other step-in system. Yeah, you may have to adjust the highback position for your foot size, but then it works, everytime. Flow supporters always say how great they are "once you take the time to get them right"...well, you shouldn't have to! I know, i'm jaded and biased, but these bindings also robbed me of many powder runs last season while I f*cked around with them to get rid of severe foot pain. Sorry to those of you that love 'em. I used to deal with the same thing when I'd rave about my old Clicker HBs and everyone else would bitch about them. Before you purchase a pair, see if you can rent/demo them for the day. Flow is at most demo days and shops that sell Flows often have them on their rental boards. |
