Another Hardshell Thread

[NickD]

Been tossing around the idea of hardhsell bindings for awhile now, just haven't been able to pull the trigger. But after an injury this collegiate season I feel a change is in order. I've been looking into a few different brands. I haven't been able to find much on either the syndicate hardshells vs the Edge Hardshells. Ive heard from a few sources that they are pretty similar, I was hoping someone who knows more about this than me could shed some light on these two binders for me.

 

Thanks in advance

Those two are exactly the same boot and both use the Reflex release system which only releases in a heel up forward direction. What type of injury did you have?

@NickD I have and use both the Syndicate and the Edge System. They are exactly the same except for the liner.

How does the Syndicate compare with Reflex or Goode boots? What boots do you perfer and why?

[OldboyII]

For achilles protection - HO/Edge/Reflex.

For both achilles and knee - MOB.

IMO

Powershells are very comfortable. After 10 yrs just made a switch to reflex supershell 3.0 and they are almost identical in feel of the foot inside the boot. I use intuition liners in both cases. I did choose to go with a R-style rear and its allowing me to get more up on the front of the ski with releasing my heel more then the powershells did. I do think reflex has done a lot of research on its release mechanism and is consistent.

Thanks everyone for the input.

 

@mmosley899 it was heel up type fall/injury but I would not say I went OTF (if that makes a difference) . Resulted in a pretty gnarly sprained ankle.
