AHilshey Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 This is my first year on an Alpine board. I just bought a 173 Volkl from PCDenver, and a set of last years Head Stratos Pro boots. Now i need bindings. I like the set it and forget it reputation of the TD series bindings, and i was thinking about picking up a set of TD3s. I just don't know if i should get the standards or step ins. And if i go step ins, do I need so get anything else to make them compatable with my boot? I'd love some oppinions and info.

Loc Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 You'll need Intec or Fin-Tec heels if you go with the step-ins. I went with the step-in bindings because it's a little bit more convenient. A little, but not a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colintkemp Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Oh boy, "step-in vs. standard" ought to get this group going... AHilshey, I ride standard (TD2 and OS2). I love them. But, I have never ridden step-ins. Folks say step-ins are much more stiff (laterally). That this is your first year on plates could be important - step-ins could seem extremely stiff. To folks who have ridden both: What do you think and why? Next question: Anyone start on standard, go to step-in and go back to standard? If so, why? That, AHilshey, is an opinion I would want to hear. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
