I bought these bindings only because my original ones had given up on me half way down a mountain. It has been the best thing that has happened to my boarding. Both the baseplate and highback are fairly stiff so all movement is transferred direct to the board. The straps are wide and padded so they are super comfy. The bidings have a fully adjustable heel cup as well which means that you can tailor them completely to your size of boot and to your style of riding. I tend to be very aggresive and they have brought my riding on in leaps and bounds. They will not suit every rider though, if you are learning to ride they will be too stiff, and if you have a really chunky boot (ie Flow) the straps may not be long enough to go round.
Advantages: Solid performance, cheap price, great build quality, not yellow. Disadvantages: Should be called Drake GT? Ciao, do your research! ;-)

They are still going strong, and so when it came to kitting out my girlfriend there was only one place to start looking. Drakes "entry level" binding.
The design of these is identical to my old F60's, not surprisingly as this geometry has been proven by a wide selection of pro's over the years and... it works! The materials I guess have been downgraded, with plastic substituted for metal in some areas, but I have no worries with that, as technology has improved to the extent that the plastics ...
