I heard from some insiders - boots are good, different than Diablo, they are taller, which may be better for ankles, laces instead of buckles, but - they are not available yet. Release should be the same as with Fogmans.

A for me as well...

A for me as well...

Anyone tried these out yet? How are the boots compared to old Fogmans? Any improvements in the release mechanism?

So when is the review coming? I've been impatient for at least a month now....

Or check out the new Gordon's place south of Acapulco - Puerto Escondido (Full info probably not yet available). Knowing Gordon, there will be no compromise when it comes to serious skiing.

ELITE 65.5 Red Fogmans + "new" black Fogmans on a G10 plate inter-locked to the ski EAGLE vest front zipper Masterline curves O'Neill Hyperfreak shorts - the best! Under Armour undershorts (when it gets chilly or just to keep things in place!) O'Neill Goory top, long and short sleeves O'Neill Thermo-X 13oz, PolarTec Powerstretch with DWR coating - Light and warm. Long and short sleeves. Unbeatable. Even in summer while waiting for your turn at a tournament! CAMARO long and short 1-1.5 mm wetsuits - the best! Accurate Limited ARS handle 12in, 0940 (used to it, hard to switch to anything else) H2Osmosis ski socks MASTERLINE large ski bag Under Armour baseball hat Calipers, tools, like the rest of us! Two identical sets of wing gauges - one on each side and preferably a spare fin & wing. And a spare ski.....yes, we are nuts!

Thanks guys! Reflex is obviously the choice for most tournament skiers who use RTP. But double Reflex I saw only twice so far with tournament skiers. The one I saw last was so much customized - you may as well go and build it from scratch. Why can't anyone give us something simple and solid? Snow ski bindings are so safe and reliable - you never hear that there are any issues about them. How complicated can it be? We don't need new skis - we need safe and reliable double hard-shell bindings urgently! At least HO tried. I hope they keep trying.

Well, what do you think? Do we want it? Hell yeah!

Chuck, what were you on before EXO's. What EXOs do you use. There is very little (positive) feedback on EXOs so it would be appreciated. Have you had any issues? Do you know any 39 off skiers that use them?

Whatever happened to EXOs? Any tournament skiers on those? Will Asher, except for advertising photos? Are EXOs already dead? Will there be a new version then or we should just stick to whatever we can hammer out in our garages if we want double hard shells w/o tinkering? Connely up to something perhaps? Or will it be Dave Goode again who will surprise us all with new, revolutionary (commercial) move?

The best bindings are those you are used to. And the safest are the ones that release when they should, either both feet in or both feet out. I prefer release both feet in. I think the harder the shells the harder they are to replace with different ones (see Jamie) because you get used to the specific way they flex. Nothing new, just my two cents. And yes, Dual Lock works (I use it), but not always as you want. I guess that's you can finally get GOODE with inserts now!
