So far, I've only ridden these once, so I can't speak to their longevity but I can speak to my initial impressions. Just so you know where I am coming from, I am no park kiddie. I'm 45 years old and am built like a Clydesdale. I suppose I would be classified as an "expert" rider, but I consider myself more as an advance intermediate. I have two main riding styles. Lots and lots of turns in the bumps and ungroomed. Like a bat out of hell on the steepest, twistiest groomers I can find. I love these bindings! They're light. They're not Burton Diode light expensive), or X-base light (likely to break if you look at them sternly). But they are quite light given what appears to be some pretty beefy construction. They are pretty stiff but have some flex which is just what I wanted. They pair great with my Burton Custom X board and Ion boots, which are also at the stiffer end of the scale. The combination gives lightning quick response and superior carving ability in typical NE conditions (boilerplate). The straps are incredibly easy to use. The ratchets work smoothly and grip really well. I noticed hardly any slippage. The new toe cap design grips my boots much better than my last pair of Burtons (which worked well, but not nearly as well as these). I love the EST design/footbeds. I can really feel the board flex under my feet. The highbacks on these bindings are...well...high. They are probably 3" higher than my last set of bindings. The extra height gives some nice mechanical advantage for cranking in that heel edge around a high speed turn. The so called FLAD adjustment (Forward Lean Assistance Device) works well to force the highbacks forward to your liking and comfort. Since they are tool-less they can be adjusted on the slope although it does take a fair amount of strength and may require unstrapping in order to get the proper leverage. The biggest knock I can give these bindings is that the style is incredibly boring. But I think that's just what you get with Burton's higher end offerings. One word of caution, if you are not familiar with the EST line: They only work with Burton boards with the Channel System. If you are planning to rock one of those, look elsewhere.

About Burton
At Burton they stand sideways, sleep on floors in cramped resort hotel rooms. They get up early and go to sleep late. Burton has been mocked. They've been turned away from resorts that won't have snowboarders. Burton is relentless. They dream snowboarding. They make it, break it and fix it. They create it. They destroy it. They wreck themselves day in and day out and yet they stomp that one trick or find that one line that keeps them coming back. They progress.
Burton has fueled the growth of adult and children's snowboarding worldwide through its groundbreaking product lines, its grassroots efforts to get the sport accepted at resorts and its team of top adult, child, and teen snowboarders. Always looking forward, Burton even has a team comprised of children ages seven to fourteen whose purpose is to push the sport and kid's snowboarding apparel to the next level. Burton dominates the adult and kids' snowboard industry worldwide with global headquarters in Burlington, Vermont and international offices in Innbruck, Austria and Tokyo, Japan.
Jake Burton Carpenter has dedicated 30 years of his life to snowboarding. He founded Burton in 1977 and has played a vital role in transforming snowboarding from a backyard hobby to a world-class sport. In the early years, the business was based out of Jake's Vermont barn and he delivered boards out of his station wagon. Jake is Burton's most avid product tester and rides over 100 days per year.
