25/26 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A women's binding that surprised the reviewer by being far stiffer than expected and taking aggressive riding well, while also having board feel and low-speed agility. Carving control is good, impact absorption is excellent and it's stable at speed, yet it still moves easily at low speed.
Big-feature freestyle is its home ground, but it's plenty for all-mountain and freeride too.

23/24 · 22/23 · 21/22 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A women's freestyle binding at 5/10 flex that gives you a full 360-degree sense of movement when you flex and butter. It's comfortable to wear and its impact absorption is outstanding, so it worked well on both all-mountain and freestyle boards.
There is a real long-term durability issue reported, though: after 1.5 seasons the plastic cover on the left footbed kept working loose and eventually fell off (the ankle strap hinge held up fine).
