Bindings...2013 Strada vs. 2014 Vapor vs. 2015 Vapor

[PurdueSkier]

I am currently riding radar strada bindings and have been really happy with them. My liners are starting to wear out and I have been looking at either some new liners or new bindings. There are some pretty good deals on 2013 strada bindings available, but don't know much about the vapors. So, what is the difference between the 2013 stradas and the vapors? Also, were there any significant changes from 2014 vapors to the 2015 vapors (other than going blue)?

I have been on Stradas and have used a Vapor. They feel the same to me.

They feel totally different to me... The Vapor bindings are stiffer.

@roger how old were you Strata bindings?

I had the 2010 Strada bindings until last year when i switched to the 2014 vapor bindings. The only difference I notice is that the liner is a bit thicker and the rubber on the back of the heel is stiffer. Don't notice a difference when skiing. Only from looking at picture the 2013 2014 and 2015 boots like exactly the same besides color change of course.

Depending on your size, here's an awesome deal on new Strada liners...

@Zman‌ thanks. Great deal. Will the thicker liners work with the older boots. Mine have The thinner liners now.

If your a size 10.5+ wakehouse has size 12 bindings for $80. I was in the same boat a few weeks ago and decided the extra $40 for a whole new boot was too good a deal to pass up.

The deal on size 12 appear to be right foot only, and 2012 model (thinner liners). I am pretty certain the 2013 slightly thicker liners will work fine in your older Strada boots, just fit slightly snugger.
