    I have and love the Backlands with Phantom springs, which to me were a game changer (see threads here). Other choices exist.

    You can see what Phantom did with their slipper, and decide if that's what you want. I have not tried their conversion, but I suspect it may be more astute marketing to overcome the "I hate all ski related technology" feelings of many soft boot riders.

    The Backland ankle system - friction free - is common to both boots of course. It was obviously designed for skiers walking uphill, but it works great. I actually lock my springs into ride mode (with low temperature tie-wraps) as I never use the walk mode, but I use the springs every turn...

    As noted I expect most AT boots with friction-free ankles will work. I have wide feet but the Atomics fit great; although as noted they look narrow and skinny compared to most boots. 

    +1 on this.

    I love my backlands with the phantom lever. It's also, from my point of view, a better option than the slippers because you can easily put back the original lever (a couple of screws really).

    I loved the Raichle Concordia, but they are old and hard to find in good shape plus they don't have inserts for touring.

  2. Hi loopback, would a 170 rockered boarder cross board (fanatic) be eying to you? I have a 181 Tanker and the board I'm talking about kind of rides the same ( with shorter radius) on less than optimal conditions + decent float in pow + a great groomer carver. PM if interested.

  3. Atomic Backland Expert

     

    One of the best AT boots out there for hard boot riders.

    Can be ridden as is or with the Phantom Link lever (sold on their website) for increased forward flex. 

    This boot is just perfect for freeride/powder/splitboard riding on plates.

    Only 2 sessions on the snow. 

    260 USD + ship

  4. Are these Phiokka bindings a good option for skwal? Yes! Tests results below.

    Specs:

    for 1 binding

    weight 830g

    length 220mm

    max width 110mm

    Setup:

    As @Inkaholic and @*Ace* explained, contrary to the snowpros the center disk is inserted within the black baseplate and rotating fully. Of note, it has a small soft plastic shim underneath for damping.

    The heel and toe blocks are each screwed on the baseplate using M6 screws. Cant/lift pads can be added to toe/heel blocks using adequate screw length (a bit like snowpros). To adjust the blocks to fit the boots, I chose to remove the bindings from the board. I would also recommend doing it the same way for the cant /lift pads.

    Then I mounted the fully setup binding to the board.

    There is absolutely no issues with angles. You can ride in any stance, including 90/-90 (if you are very flexible 😉).

  7. Raichle 225 - size 260-265

    These were my goto hardboots before I switched to Deeluxes and Backlands.

    They have been used, but everything is in good working order. The heels are not worn and the buckles and zips work fine. They have not been punched. No alteration except inserts to attach a strap. Some binding marks on the toes.

    Original liners (size 265) are a bit worn (cf pictures) but do the job.

    I can replace them by a pair of Burton stock liners in size 270 for 10 bucks (you can have them both actually). 

    I also have Intec heels and BTS kit for sale on another post.

    120 USD + shipping
