SPi

By rchronis Ranked #165 - Snowboard Bindings January 2, 2009

As with a previous poster, I'm a sturdy guy myself. Or I was last year. At about 260 pounds, I bought the SPi's. And they ratchet down tight and take a beating, I'll say that for them. Very little wiggle even with my hos physique hitting park jumps like I'm trying to tear them off the board.

Pros: convertible toe strap is nice; nice ratchet lock down; feel very heavy duty and bombproof

Cons: putting these on lockdown will create some pressure points; I've cramped circulation to my feet more than once because there is very little about the bindings that's cushy; little screw thingies for strap adjustment seem to slip sometimes

I'm in the process of replacing my SPi's. I ride a small 350' hill in the midWest and a lot of park now. I would like a little more flex and cushion as I've become a better rider. However, I'll keep my SPi's for trips to the big mountains when I know I'll want a little more stiffness and support.

Good bindings, especially if you like a firm ride.
