I had the opportunity to sample these fine bindings in a few different conditions, while they were mounted on Black Diamond Helio Carbon 95s. Overall, my impressions were really positive, considering I had expected to struggle with thinner skis than I'm accustomed to. Downhill ski performance gave me all the stability and power transfer needed to carve mash... Read more

The Fritschi Tecton 13 is an excellent option for skiers looking for something that will get them into the backcountry but still have a consistent ejection in the event of a crash. For those of you who have skied in traditional pin bindings, you know that under hard turns or in choppy terrain, you can experience faulty ejections. This commonality... Read more

Good combo of safety and performance, but at a price
Originally posted at www.blackdiamondequipment.com on Aug 5, 2024I've been skiing on these bindings for three or four seasons now and I really like them. I went this direction to get the additional safety of a well-designed release system. It definitely allows me to come out of my bindings when needed, but be clamped in securely the rest of the time. Great for touring and outstanding for the down. There is some snow buildup that happens in the heel piece while touring that I sometimes need to bang out by turning the ski upside down and running the heel lever through its range of movement. I still find getting into the toe a bit finicky. The technique that's worked best for me is to 'roll' the toe of my boot in one pin at a time rather than trying to step into both pins at the same time. These are pricey bindings, but the extra confidence of the release capability and the build quality make them worth the investment in my opinion.

Kay was Awesome!

Working with Kat was great! She made the decision process super easy. She made videos of her recommendations and explained the reason behind each recommendation. It was clear that she has the experience to back up her recommendations, and this made me feel comfortable knowing that I was getting the right equipment. we were able to select a new snowboard, bindings and boots that my wife will be getting for Christmas… Thank you, Kat!

Jared was an amazing help in helping me find the perfect setup for me. It was the first brand new setup I purchased and he guided me to some great clearance items and other good deals to save me money. Very knowledgeable about all the different gear. Truly a tremendous help. Will be using him next time I’m in the market for some new gear

Leo was fantastic!
5 /5
Leo curated the appropriate gear for my needs. He provided 2-4 options of skis, boots, bindings, and poles, which allowed me to choose. He was knowledgeable in comparisons and answering my many questions. He made purchasing gear easy, no pressure, and stress free, which buying the right gear for the right price usually is overwhelming for me. Curated was affordable and better priced then other online competitors, I like the return policy, and Leo's willingness to work with me throughout the process to ensure the best set up of gear. I would definitely recommend Leo and curated! I can't wait for some pow to test out the gear.

Kat was so much fun to talk to, and offered amazing advice. She even gave a video explaining everything she selected and why. Answered my questions, and even watched the items I wanted until I could decide I really wanted them! This was a great experience and I will definitely come back to Kat if I need help in the future.

Better than shopping in a store!
5 /5
I have been looking for skis for this upcoming winter, but honestly, i'm a rookie & had some (alot) of questions. I wanted to learn a little about what gear was recommended to me, and why it was selected- not because I didn't trust it- but, because I like to understand the thought process that goes into it! It's just the way I process things. But, Thomas was patient & happily explained everything to me. I also am horribly inconsistent with my response times, and regardless of when I messaged, he always responded in a matter of minutes. I feel like sometimes when I go shopping in person and someone is helping me, I feel pressured to take their recommendation, and like I have to buy something- so using curated was a lot more appealing to me, and I cannot recommend it enough!

5 /5
Mad respect for Chris who went the extra mile to find me the perfect fit. Every recommendation was followed up with a thorough comparison of all my options and what made them stand out from each other. He even recorded videos, dude. Really, what more could you ask for. And still he’s not the type to try to convince you that somethings great. He just offers up all the facts to let you sit back and feel things out for yourself. Super friendly, reassuring, and will never leave you hanging. I came back to Chris for new recommendations after ghosting him for an entire season and it felt like picking up where you left off with an old friend. Super knowledgeable about the sport and how certain brands will cater to your riding style. Really appreciated that he didn’t recommend the same style of board over and over from different brands. Since he tossed up boards that had a lot of differing features he helped me find something I hadn’t considered before and taught me so much about snowboarding along the way. So if you’re looking for something that will set you apart from the rest, Chris has your back. I ended up going with his top choice for me and I couldn’t be more jacked. Will definitely be coming back for advice down the line, and can’t wait to let him know how much his pick shreds this winter. Cheers mate!

Tyler made it easy…
5 /5
I’m so busy fighting fire and just haven’t had the time to really get into the details on the zillions of snowboards available. I did have time to share what I needed with Tyler and he was quickly responding with some recommendations. He seemed pretty dialed with his reasoning and helped finalize my choice. So less stressful having the help!

I knew I wanted skiing gear for the season, but didn’t know anything about the ski gear. Leo walked me through some great options and explained the differences. I really appreciate that he found sales items. On an aesthetic level he made sure things looked like they went together instead of just a random assortment of colors.

Leif was very patient with my picky nature for choosing my first board. He kept sending me really great options!
