Rome 390 Snowboard Binding - 2010

You could put them on however I would really recommend getting an burton EST binding to go with a Burton ICS board. The Rome bindings will fit although the baseplates from the conversion kit probably won't be a perfect fit. The whole thought process between the ICS and EST is you get extra sensory feeling because the EST bindings have a soft EVA foam and B3 gel padding between your feet and the board which gives you great dampening as well as allowing you to be more connected with your board.

Def go for the Contacts bro, I own them and they are sick. With only 18% of the binding actually making contact with the board, it allows your board to flex more naturally. Just Like Ben said, they are lighter, stronger, comfier and just better built. Plus they are cheeper in price and not in durability!! I love Rome seeing as I ride one, but I LOVE Union for bindings. If you just pretty much jib, then def grab the Contacts. Super comfy straps, nice flexy high-back but doesnt sacrafice stability or feel 'too lose'(ie you feel like your still in control). Just get them and I promise you will not be dissapointed. Hope this helps bro :)

I havnt rode the 390's yet, but i have the contacts now and i love them. they are super light and have a nice flex to them. the straps are very comfy and stay on your boots nicely, and overall your feet just feel very secure and comfortable in the contacts. They also have this foam in the baseplate which allows your board to flex more naturally, which is great for park. The contacts are great, and as an added bonus, they're about 30 bucks cheaper than the 390s, so i would go with the contacts.

I think you have judged contrabands to early. I have used contra's for two seasons now and can't get enough of them. If you really can't get them to fit right, you either have the wrong size or you are setting them up wrong. I don't think I will be going back to normal two strappers any time soon.

First off, thank you for taking your time to answer both. Today, I left to go to the shop, and I still couldn't decide, so I chose to buy both, then return one. I currently have both, and the 390s are going to have to be my choice. If I want the contraband's to fit properly, I'm going to have to cut part of the adjustment strap, which I don't plan to do since I may be returning it. The 390s have the ultra soft ankle strap, smoother than butter ratchets, that strap to get the ankle strap out of the way and everything. I am being too quick to judge the contraband's, but to be honest, I'm really nervous about them.

Well id still go with the 390's...... and this is why i don't know if you liked your EX's or not but yes they would have have a little smiler feel but the major difference is the special toe cup on the contrabands make a a lot of pressure points... but on the bright side for the contabands they are a vary light binding and a vary convenient but they have soo many set backs like i said in my first answer..... and as far as the look goes if you have last years society any of the 390's would look great on it because it is such a plain board.... and if you have this years the white and black ones would look sick on the black of that board..... hoped that helped

Definately go for the 390's. But to be honest, you can get a better made binding for cheeper if you went with Union. Nothing against Rome, seeing as I ride a Rome Machine. But a company that is specific to one thing usually makes better product. In this case, Union does. Union is built stronger, are comfier, and are just a sick company to rock. Trust me, for $20-$50 less, you can have a pair of Unions that will last you twice as long as anything out.

The 390's for sure i have used a lot of bindings and these are my favorites because they are super comfy and Romes "no screw technology" is awesome and vary convenient for on the hill quick changes to the binding and the only other bindings i have ever used that even come close to them are any pair of Unions.... but any way back to the Ride Contrabands they are not vary good they do have some nice qualities like that you only have to tighten one binding at the top but they are vary uncomfortable and they are prone to break. And the Toe strap presses against your boot and makes pursuer points witch just makes for a bad ride....... Hoped that helped

Hey Dave,

With these bindings you would require the L/XL size.

the 390's for sure

Yes you shouldn't have any compatibility problems with the Rome 390 binders and a Sierra deck.

id go 390s they are a little heavier but they are super comfy and their construction is solid good for everything from park to pow its all good.

no way dude! union makes a great binding especially the contacts; but ive been riding exclusively backcountry and park on the 390's and couldn't be happier. also the price on the 390's might be a little bit more but the cap strap is well worth it

definitely contacts if you're into park, ligher, stronger, and more durable than 390's
