KG Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 They were on display at HO's tent today at the worlds. They looked pretty sweet. Both boots attached to a bar with and adjustable tension release in the back. The liners are Velcro'd in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lkb Posted August 8, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 8, 2009 How rigid is the shell? It's hard to tell with that outer covering  that zips up. How does it cinch down on your feet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Wayne Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 The fit and finish seem rather prototype-ish.Looks like the back half of the shell is very rigid; I also wondered about just a simple zipper in front...TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Boody Posted August 9, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2009 Thanks for posting, I have been chomping at the bit to see this new set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KG Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 TW, yes they are "prototype-ish" and I expect that when they are available to the public they may look a bit different. The release device does look pretty sweet, but time will tell how well it works. I am glad to see some innovation in bindings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 10, 2009 Administrators Share Posted August 10, 2009 Before a major ski co puts out a new binding with Mech release, there has to be a lot of careful thinking. I think I heard the first rumors about this binding a year ago.

Baller lkb Posted August 10, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 10, 2009 KG, does the zip up outer layer cover up some laces or buckles that snug them down? Could you tell how rigid the outer shell is compared to something like a reflex shell? Thanks for posting the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KG Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 I think there was something under the zipper bu I am not 100% sure. I never actually touched them, so no idea on stiffness either, sorry. They looked like a lower cut than most hardshells. Maybe even lower than RS-1's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted August 10, 2009 Baller_ Share Posted August 10, 2009 Can't wait to try 'em. It's nice to be close to the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old MS Accout Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Will you need an HO to ride them or can you drill any ski to match the holes? The front and rear holes are spread out pretty far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck_Dickey Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 The S-1 comes with extra inserts, 3 in front and 4 rear to mount the system. I suppose you could drill another brand and mount these same way you attach Fogman's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted August 11, 2009 Baller_ Share Posted August 11, 2009 my A1 & S1 have inserts for both the original ho bindings, as well as the extra 3 in front/4 in rear of the new system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted August 11, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 11, 2009 New A1s have the inserts for the new bindings. The one I bought about a month ago does not. I guess I will stick with my Wiley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Stefan Posted August 12, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 12, 2009 Ad a swede I can confirm that it probably is cross country ski boots. that means that under the zipper there is a lace system to tighten the boot. The zipper is just to cover that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Boody Posted August 12, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 12, 2009 Not sure about these boots, they are so low cut. I wonder if they provide any ankle support, something I like in a hardshells. I like how the back is cut away so you can get the ski out in front of you without it rearing up. Excited to see how the release system works. But it looks like a bad fall can tweek an ankle pretty easy. We will know soon, hopefully I am wrong.

HO 410 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 The shells look kind of like Jordan's don't they? And to think I took crap from my RS-1 hiking boots. Speaking of RS-1s, I thought they were pretty low cut too. Well, the top of the liner is just as tall as the wraps on Wiley's. I guess looks can be a little deceiving. Speaking of looks. From the looks of things, it looks like yet another Look release is coming to the water. First is was the Silveretta in it's many iterations, now it is the PX. I'm sure I'll get to see these things up close much sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted August 18, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 18, 2009 The release looks like the Fogman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
