Fast, Simple, Solid I rode the Voile Light Speed bindings all winter paired with the Spartan Ascent 162 and Hyper Glide skins. I live in Maine and used them everywhere from dawn patrol laps at the resort to long days in the Whites. Ascent: They’re light on the climb, and feel locked in — no slop, no fuss. *I have walked my binding of my board on two occasions but I attribute this to my own haste. Care should be taken to ensure the nylon lever SNAPS into place. If it is not, you can feel some play and a quick double check prevents this from happening. Heel Lock is a useful feature for storage or transport, but I find them finicky to use it while touring. The climbing wires are solid. Transition: The pin-free system is a major upgrade from the light rail which I have experience with. Transitions are quick even when its cold, windy and icy. There is not a lot of material for ice buildup to accumulate and I can easily keep up with my friends on skis during the transition. Descent – Solid. They drive the board with authority, hold firm through icy, chattery conditions, and respond instantly when it’s time to open it up or pick your way through tight trees. Durability – Absolutely no issues. These are bombproof. After a season of abuse in crust, rock hits, and frozen transitions, nothing has loosened or worn down. Bottom line: They just work and that's what you want from a binding IMO

This is a very solid binding all around. Easy to use. Only thing I would say is they could make it lighter. It’s noticeably heavier than my other splitboard bindings.
