The Curated Take
By the Expert Community
I really enjoyed riding these bindings! Pairing them with the new Assassin Pro, and they were a great match. Straight-lining through the chop or charging moguls, they felt plenty stable and responsive. I was impressed with how strong and stable they felt, without that feeling of aggressive rigidness I have experienced with other 'stiff' bindings. The balance of stability and control, while still flexing in the right spots to inspire freestyle maneuvers, was spot on in my book.
I would not choose these bindings if I was solely looking to keep it loose and surfy, butter, or jib around small to medium features. These are a great choice for all-mountain rippers or freestyle riders looking for something more stable and responsive than a typical soft park binding.
Ideal for
- Strong, comfortable, and responsive
- All-mountain freestyle chargers
- Confidence building stability and control
Not ideal for

I’m an all mountain freestyle snowboarder with 10 years of experience. I enjoy finding side hits, carving groomers, and hitting the park. I paired these bindings in a size small with my 147 Salomon Dancehaul and size 8 Vans boots. The Highlanders are responsive for carving and riding aggressively. The Shadow Fit heel cup is uniquely flexible. It flexes laterally... Read more

Top binding
Originally posted at www.salomon.com on Jan 31, 2023Been using it for a month in any kind of terrain - park, pow, slope. It works well everywhere, can't complain! With Salomon Malamute boot it is also a very nice match, but on a stiffer side. I feel a lot of control when using this binding

Not durable
Originally posted at www.salomon.com on Nov 29, 2022Foam pad on the heel of baseplate came off after 1 season. I was surprised to see that it was only held by an adhesive and not mounted by screws. Poor design by Salomon in my opinion. Besides this issue, I enjoyed the stiff ride of these bindings. Hopefully the warranty process will be quick...

The Best of the Best
5 /5
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kyle and my experience with him on Curated. I’m a pretty hard headed individual and I went into the curation wanting a very specific GNU board. Kyle talked me off that ledge (was far outside my budget) and steered me in the direction of something similar that fit my budget a lot better. I’m stoked about my purchase and am so excited to get out on the slopes!
Kyle was knowledgeable without being arrogant, which is extremely hard to find in the skiing industry. I don’t like to feel pressured into purchasing something without doing my research, and there was no point during our multiple day conversation that he made me feel pressured or rushed. He was patient, kind, and friendly in a way that felt above and beyond for the given task.
If my rave review doesn’t say enough, Kyle seems like a gem of a human. Wishing him and his family all the best!

Super knowledgeable, great experience, tons of options, no pressure… Leo gets it!
5 /5
Skied a fair bit as a kid in the Northeast, then switched to snowboarding when I moved out west 15 years ago, and just getting back into skiing somewhat seriously as my kids are pretty self-sufficient and competent on most runs these days.
We usually rent, but after skiing about 20 days last year, I decided that buying new boots at a minimum was an absolute must. Some days were pure torture… But, I had no idea where to start and was instantly overwhelmed beginning my search on my own.
Enter Leo and Curated. Leo took the time to understand my situation, my skill level, my goals, my preferences, etc. In short order, after I sent back my boot measurements, I received a personalized video with several different options and tons of rationale for my expanded search for skis, bindings, and poles as well. I felt very comfortable that I had a good set of options to choose from for each piece of equipment - with an accompanying wealth of Leo’s deep knowledge and experience to consider as I pondered this large, potential purchase.
I decided to hold off at that point, and Leo made sure I knew he was available to text or chat live as needed - he is super responsive. No pressure at all. I came back to it later the next day, chatted a bit back and forth with Leo, and felt really confident about making the purchase. That’s really saying something given how little I knew about modern ski gear just a night or two earlier.
I highly recommend Leo and will be reaching out to him directly for any future purchases. I won’t hesitate to direct friends and family to him either, and have a hunch my wife will be looking for his help right around the time my new gear hits our doorstep.
Thanks, Leo!

Ryan is very knowledgeable about the tech of snowboards and the areas I frequently snowboard at. He helped me understand the fundamentals about snowboards which helped me in my own independent research. He is super patient and responsive. Additionally, he worked with my budget and snowboarding wants/needs.

I have been wanting to get my own gear since I can remember, having borrowed stuff from my dad and buddies as long as I can remember. However, I waited so long because although I have been boarding for a while, I didn’t know any of the terminology or what brands were good, etc. Kim made this process SO easy, and I am more than confident I will like my gear! 10/10 recommend and if I need to get more stuff I know where I am going

Vincent done did it again! Had a friend refer me and boy was it the best decision ever. Vincent was very knowledgeable and definitely catered to my needs. He didn’t send the most expensive bindings and hoped for the best. I told what I was looking for and delivered. Not one or two options but many options. I definitely recommend him as your expert!

I had insomnia that night and found the Curated for the first time. I was curious about contacting an expert who turned out to be Andrew at 4 AM PST. I expected to get an answer a few hours later since it was in the middle of the night. I turned off my computer and went into bed he responded a few minutes later. Hopefully, I didn't wake him up, or maybe he's on EST time but either way, he's on his game.

I had many questions, and after a few days we finally got stuff figured out. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful and knowledgeable which is defiantly better then going to facebook marketplace. I tried that, but the information from an expert just helps much more. I would defiantly recommend Ryan to other customers.
