What do you think of Burton Stilettos?

Question

I need bindings. I have been riding for 4 years and I usually go about 5 times a year. I'm a freerider. I have the Rome Blue board. Would you recommend the Burton Stilettos?

Answer 1

they arent bad. i would because they are burton and burton normally has really good bindings and boards. they should last you a while if you only go 5 times a year too.

Answer 2

Yeah they'd be good if you can get them on sale because Burton pricing doesn't run cheap. Also check out these k2 bindings because k2 makes solid stuff and I'm sure you can find these cheaper than the Burton's. There is no sense in spending more than you have to if you are only riding 5 times a year.

Answer 3

I have them. They are good for 5 times per year, but the buckle on the capstrap seems a little cheap.  I like the capstrap though.  The escapades are better, but the stilettos are good if you don't go that much. they are a lot cheaper. Since you don;t snowboard often, i would recommend them.  If you plan to snowboard more, get the escapades.  I ski 2 to 3 times per week, and usually snowboard on Friday nights after skiing when they have night skiing, so I don't snowboard very often, and the stilettos are good for me.

Because of the capstrap, they are probably one of the best bindings in their price/level range. They are onsale at dogfunk.com for $97.96 with free shipping.

dogfunk usually doesn't have the best prices, but they have the best return policy.  If you don't like it, you can return for a full refund it at anytime, even if it is years later or if  you break them, if you you just don't like them.

If you are concerned about size, they say that medium fits 5-8 and large fits 8+.  My old Salomon Ivy  Autofit size 8 boots were too big for the mediums, but my Burton sapphires size 7 fit perfectly.  If you have a non-burton size 8 boot, get the large.  I heard that Ride boots are smaller on the outside than other brands, so that would be an exception.
