Default Binding options for 09 Connelly Concept

Hi everyone,

Need some advise I currently have double fastback bindings on my 09 concept love the ski but not crazy about the bindings and would like to change them out for a different pair. I am not sure what to go with. Does anyone have an opinion regarding Wiley bindings or can I put HO or D3 type binds on my ski..

Thanks

Default RE:

Inserts for the front are universal, any binding will fit. Inserts for the back boot are not. Radar, D3 and of course Connelly should fit right away. HO and Obrien will not fit right out of the box. You can contact Wiley's Ski Shop (wileyski.com) and they should be able to help you get the correct plate for the boot you want to use.


I currently ski with RS-1s, but happily used Wiley's before that. Because the front boot is closed toe, the wrap doesn't have to be super tight to keep your foot in place. I like that
and there are no laces that you can accidentally get too tight. In fact, I still have the pair I'm not using anymore, with both an HO and D3 plate for the rear boot, that I would be willing to sell.

Thank you for that information it is very helpful,

My issue also is I have a size 14 foot so it can be hard to find shoes never mind Ski bindings. I will call Wiley's and see what they say. Wiley's do look stronger than say the Connelly Stokers.

Mine are size large, so they are no help to you.

I know that size XXL in HO goes from 12-14 and the open toe gives you a little more leeway. Wiley's you have to hit right on the nose because of that closed toe. They make up to a 13 with the closed toe (although that might be a little cramped for a 14). Apparently they can build them even larger, but you have to go to an open toe design.

Thanks for the information I am going to call Wiley's and look into them and D3's and even the HO for possible front boot option. I would like to try a rubber type binding instead of the lace type..
