Burton Seems To Be Going Chineese

By Ranked #25 - Bindings October 26, 2009

I have owned a pair of Burton Customs as my first binders and were pleased with them. After switching around a few times, I finally decided to drop the money on these assuming it would be worth it. When i got them, all I had to do was pull back on the highback and I heard the plastic creek like they were about to snap. Everywhere I flexed these, they made me worried they would not handle more than 3 days on the mountain. Other reviewers say they have ridden 70+ days on these, so I may be wrong, but I felt like I didn't even trust them for one day. The straps were top notch though. Check out Forum Republics that come in almost all the same colors and are cheaper. If you aren't getting these on sale, then you would be extremely stupid not to at least look into Union Force-SL first.
