SICK!!! 

What is there to say about the Cartel that hasn't been said before? This binding does it all at only a fraction of the cost of other higher end bindings. Burton steps things up every year with all their products and just when you think things are perfect, they push further. This year's Cartels come with tool-free adjustments, and super cushy bases along with everything else the previous Cartels came with.

I love the colors this year as well. I picked up a pair of the kelly green and I could not be any happier. They are soo responsive and comfy. I look forward to riding these bindings for years to come. The only drawbacks I noticed was the backs tend to wiggle side to side a bit. Other than that… these bindings are perfect.
