Chris's Review

February 23rd, 2003

Summary:
I stayed away from plastic and composite bindings for a long time because I didn't think they could handle the Alaskan cold. However, the ATPs have done very well, and from my experiences, I would recommend these bindings to most any rider.
Review:
Forum has been working on their tool free system for a few years, and it looks like it may be paying off. You can adjust these bindings to fit most boots within 10 minutes, much faster than a standard binding, plus you don't need any tools for most of the changes. You can quickly and easily adjust forward lean, strap length, and heel-cup size without tools. The adjustment system works well, but my one complaint is that you can't really fine tune them, the holes are spaced a little too far apart.

The straps are comfortable - the boot side is some kind of synthetic material that is very soft and grabby at the same time. The top is leather or synthetic, and there is just enough, but not too much padding in between. The result is that the binding allows for plenty of flex while keeping your feet securely strapped in. The ratchets are some of the most sturdy-feeling I have ever used, and while the heel-strap release can be a little hard at first, it does work fine once broken in a bit; the click is very satisfying and solid. The rubbery foam used for the areas where the boot contacts the base and backs is super sticky, even in colder temps, and hold your boot very firmly.
