These bindings have completely changed my snowboarding life! I have the System Flow Alpha bindings I got in 2022 - I got these for my 14yo daughter in 2023. These are slightly different than the Alpha's: they have a over-toe tip strap which offers better control/response than the Alpha's over-metatarsal strap. This is the only difference. I just got another pair for my 13yo daughter who is switching from skiing to snowboarding this year. That's three pairs that we LOVE and I tell EVERYONE who asks to just get these!!!Anyways - On the System brand rear entry/step in bindings: They are soooo much easier than having to sit on the ground and ratchet myself onto my board every time I get on/off the lift. Quality & manufacture is great. They are secure, stable & responsive and work as desired every run. I have been snowboarding since I was 14 (waayyyy back in 1994). I am 44 now and a bit out of shape w/ a non-boarding related L. knee & R. ankle chronic injury/limitation so getting up and down every time to ratchet in is annoying. I also hurt my knee 2021 season so only have about 2/3 the flexion as normal and in 2022 broke w/surgical repair to my R. tib/fib - so secure supportive boots & bindings are a MUST for me to be able to do what I love. I looked into the Burton clip in bindings but at +$500 for bindings & boots they were just too much for something I use 3-4 trips a year, plus I just got new boots last year. I came across these and they had good reviews and looked like just what I needed.They are AMAZING - So so so great!!! Install was super easy - the hardest part was prying my old bindings off. It came with a super cool dial to set the degree of 'pivot' - IDK the tech word for it - the angle that you want your feet pointed. I like to stand with my front foot externally rotated about 15 degrees. Anyway - you'll see what I mean when you install yours, cause you should totally get these. They fit my board & boots perfectly. I wear a 9 women's and the bindings were listed as medium/large. Once I got the bindings on my board I dropped the back hatch and slid my boot in then adjusted the ratchet bindings over the foot/toe area. It does take a bit of practice getting in & out of them while on the slopes so don't get frustrated. Once you get the hang of it & figure out your method you will be clipping in so fast all the other boarders will be green with envy. Some wiggling and loosening of the ratchet is needed but I never had to actually sit down. Also make sure that you swipe out any snow pack out from the foot bed when trying to slide your boot in. They perform great too - perfect level of pitch forward for me and super stable/sturdy feeling. I felt like I had a much better connection to my board and better maneuverability. I LOVE them sooo much. My daughter loves hers & it took her about 2 runs to get them completely dialed in and she is so fast off the lift now I can hardly keep up with her. Just bought a set for my youngest. OH - These are an amazing price too! Forget the whole rear entrance easy peasy on/off thing - they are just great stable bindings with super easy ratchet mechanisms for only $130ish. Way better than many binding sets at higher price points. Plus you get the super easy on/off feature. Get these. If you need new bindings or just want an upgrade these are the ones!

2022 UPDATE TO BELOW:So I'm heading out to my third year with these next week. Have learned a lot. I now use my regular Burton binding for my front foot, which stays locked in. It has a higher back, and the back is canted towards the middle more in line with my front leg. (That said, the System on both would be just fine, too.)I use the System for my back foot. As noted below in 2019, I was struggling a bit with my heel catching on the binding back. I ground off the ridges on my boot heel, and ground a bit of the binding back-bottom arc opening to create more space. It still rubs, but moves in and out readily now--especially when it's cold and wet with show.Finally, I found some plastic shim sheets at True Value Hardware, I got some slightly longer bolts, applied bolt lock to them, and mounted both bindings with a 3 degree inward slant--like the expensive bindings these days have built into the footpad. It's hardly noticeable, as if looks mattered, and gets the bindings more in line with your legs.Bottom line, this makes a sweet, no-sit to strap, easy to use setup.Plus, the System is great on the lift. You can put your foot in instead of having the board hang twisting your ankle or sit on top of your boot with the edge fraying the laces. You're also more stable coming off the lift if you want to keep your foot in, even if the heel backing isn't up.ORIGINAL 2019 REVIEW:I've been riding a Switch setup for decades, and the old gear finally disintegrated.I had a pair of Flows, and didn't like them. Too hard to get into, and not tight enough.I tried the new Burton Step-On solution in a store, but I though they were hard to get into and out of. Plus, $700 seemed a bit extreme ... if you could even get your hands on them.I absolutely hated going back to strap-in after all these years. I usually boot up standing up, and it's still a pain.I ran across these, and gave them a try. These are super-clever in design. Set them up once, and forget it.The best feature is that when you lower the back, the ankle strap automatically loosens. This makes it easy to get into/out of. When you're back in, you just raise the heel lever, then click down the ankle lever. (You need to do it in that order.) It takes seconds. And you can do it standing up, no problem, without having to fight getting all the straps out of the way and inserted and ratcheted like with regular bindings.The plates have a ton of holes. They fit both my boards, and give you a lot of plate positioning options.The bindings seem well-made.They're light (31 oz), especially paired with my new-style boots. (The Switches were like walking around with lead weights on your legs.)Some things to consider:I have XL bindings with size 13 DC Scout Boa boots and size 12 Burton SLXs. As other reviewers have mentioned, my 13s catch a bit on the heel arc opening. The Burton soles are more angled front and back, and they go in/out just fine.The bindings sit lower on the board. I don't have any problem with heel/toe drag on my board (I got one wide enough), but I'm not a big carver. And I ride 6/0.There's not much padding in the footbed ... just some rubber inserts. So you'll feel it if you're jumping a lot. I don't feel it when riding. The boots/liners have plenty of padding.The binding footbeds are not canted. And on my model you can't adjust the heel back to slant left or right. (The newer models are supposed to have more adjustments.)There's a nifty cover for the baseplate, so it keeps snow/ice from forming in there and making it harder to insert your boot.In any conditions, you want to use your stomp pad to scrape the snow off the bottom of your boot.I love these. And all for $120 ...I bought a second pair just in case they quit making these.

I wanted to try out this type of binding coming from your standard ratchet style binding set. It did well on beginners and advance trails. It made the boot entry more efficient compared to the ratchet style set. The low cost was worth the purchase and I am satisfied with this product, it will continue to be on my snowboard.

Update: 11/26/2024 They are actually really solid bindings. Took them to Tahoe this past weekend and although only the greens and section of the park were open, really tested them out. They are fantastic after getting them dialed in. Wasted no energy getting in/out. Got off lift, strapped in, and ready to hit the trail. I wasn’t liking the storm-trooper white look so i took them apart to give it a custom look. I was really impressed with the build quality. For sub $150, these are worth it. Purchased with my own funds and my honest unbiased review.—————-Just got these a few weeks ago and wanted to try rear entry bindings without breaking the bank. Coming from traditional Union bindings. These are a little heavier than my Unions. Easy install on my Capita board. Seems well made and sturdy. Will be using these in Tahoe this season, we will see how they hold up! Updates to follow.

I’ve been boarding for around 10 years, always with traditional bindings. It used to really frustrate me having to faff around with straps when getting to a flat spot or on/off lifts. The benefit with these is you dial in your tension once at the beginning of the trip and then your set.One clip on the back and fold the leg down to Slide out. Foot in, leg up, clip on the back and side when you’re setting off again- easy.The only thing which was a bit of an issue is when you’re strapping in on a slope. You end up sliding down the hill so sit down and then it can be awks to get your foot in. Basically, it’s all about technique which soon comes.Fittings for burton channel and normal bolt in so very handy if you’re taking different boards as this set of bindings does both.Not quite burton step ins, but mucho cheapero!

My son was looking for step in bindings. Most brands are ridiculously priced. These are very well made, and very easy to use. Thanks for making an affordable yet effective product.

Le systeme est parfait , peut etre pas pour une utilisation agressive / snowpark . Je suis un skieur du dimanche et attacher les fix etait penible a chaque fois . Avec ce systeme plus besoin de se pencher . 30 sec , on clip et c’est regler ! Encore plus rapide pour les declippés.

I used it twice and it is very good so far
