The Team choice taken to the 4th dimension. Looking for the ultimate combination of board feel, cushioning, mobility, and drive? Then run with the Cartel EST and be as nasty as you wanna' be. This is the future of binding tech. Feel the difference.
Ryan Says:EST is where its at. Burton has always made great bindings. Unfortunately my small boot size (men's: 8.5-9)always seemed to get crushed by them. I would have to take the board off every couple runs to give my feet a break. With EST I am able to ride all day w/o discomfort.
The EST system takes it all to another level of comfort and performance. Awsome boot-to-binding interface. Board feel is vastly improved. Don't knock it before you try it. Demo, Rent, or borrow a friends for a run and you'll understand. I wonder why they didn't perfect this system and get it to us sooner.
