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...
