definitely give us a review, love my coats but $200 is a lot for gloves
They retail for 179.00. I picked them up for 154.00 on sale from Toolnut. They work great! heated at the finger tips, thumb and backside of hand. I'm a makita man myself so I have their heated jacket. But I couldn't pass up the gloves on those bitter days riding.

I just bought the Milwaukee heated gloves.

3-4 feet at turner in sept.? in 2 days? I don't think so, not in this century, We got that in mid feb. last year from an "epic" dump with a base on the frozen ground already.
maybe not but never say never.

what do you like more for carving
3rd strap binding or clicker
definitely clickers.
-
I do. Went kwickers last year and absolutely love them. Still has plenty of flex in powder but also supportive when carving. No play in boot to binding connection. No more strap fatigue. I would expect boots would wear out like anything else eventually. I make a habit of cleaning boot out on the chair. I had to file rough casting edges on boot to get a consistent step and lock in. Even a hair of filing on binding back hook. It takes some practice but you can step in as you ride off the lift. Pisses off the skiers thinking they can get past me on powder days. Boots have the BOA lace system which rocks! Make the investment you wont be sorry

I like the vibration absorption. Less rider fatigue

Just remember there is no refund on broken legs.
I've never broken a bone and don't plan on it either. Knock on wood

Yes, I do. I broke the hardware on the first half day of riding it.
Daveo, what kind of warranty came with donek plate? Did they refund you?

@slapos
How does the FG plate differ from apex X plate? I'm most interested in a plate to absorb the choppy groomers.

The change from softboots to hardboots is already a big one, compounded by the change in binding angles.
I always rode steep angles. And with either 3 strap bindings or K2 clickers which is essentially a hard boot. There pretty stiff and I just love them. I can carve decent with them right now. My riding style has always been top to bottom as fast as I could through all conditions including deep powder. That being said I think my transition should go fairly quick. Now I would like to lay it down!

I remember my mate (video below) remarked at how much the plate had eliminated bumps to the extent that it allowed him to carve in conditions that he wouldn't even think is possible...
I took 1 video that day and it's below, just a few seconds. This is him during his 4th hour on hardboots. Oxess SXR182 + Vistflex plate. Sure you can spot a lot of flaws, but after just 4 hours... that's pretty damn solid.
I used to think the same as @Jack M, until I had first hand feedback from riders on plates after just a few hours. That changed my entire perspective.
Not bad!

I like the Apex X plate more but it’s a lot more money.
Yeah the price is up there for sure. It might prevent me from taking the plunge on that for now. Besides like you said I was thinking I would try it without so I could have a baseline for comparison.
54 minutes ago, daveo said:(provided you have a snowboarding background and understand carving).
Definitely do.

Riding on chopped up groomers for half a day does it make sense to invest in a plate system? My board has the UPM mounts. Does anyone have experience with the Donek AF plate https://www.donek.com/product/af-plate/ or preference to other systems?

On my Oxess, I've used 2.
Don't worry, my aim ain't good either, well at least that's what the puddles engulfing the surrounds of my toilet tell me.
Hahahaha...

Just cut them..
Can do that too with 2 of them. Sometimes my aim ain't so good and I end up half on the pad. So I figured 2 would be better

I have the Race Titanium intec. Never tried Bomber's. Any opinions on the TD3 Sidewinders verses standard? Does Upz boots work with Bombers?
