Overall a great binding and I'd definitely recommend them to someone else looking for a pair of bindings. Right at the get-go I felt more secure in them (compared to my Cartels and Missions), and I was just sitting down! The response on them is great as well. Having these paired with my Park Rocker is great because not only do they actually MATCH something finally (these come in a really off color compared to most bindings), the board did everything I told it to. Only flaws I have with them are that the toe caps slip up, so you just have to use them as over-the-top straps. Still felt really secure after that. Also, they left brownish-orange marks from rubbing on my brand new white Hails all day! Looks like it'll all come off easily, so whatever. Not too bad! The release was also smooth actually having them on as opposed to them unmounted and me just messing around with them. The highback wasn't too high or too short. So yeah, GREAT binding. Probably going to be my permanent bindings on my Park Rocker.
They have a tricky installation because there are more screws involved compared to other bindings and fine adjusting them took me awhile to do. Still, after it's done, it's still a great binding.
