This video was exactly all the information I needed to make my decision on buying 2 sets of Clew binding. My son(15 years old) got hooked on snowboarding and I got back into it again to spend time with him. Thank you for posting this! Ride safe!
Got my clews over 2years now and even when I had some issues how to step in and out at the beginning you get really fast used to it and it‘s game changer !!! Don‘t want to miss the clews forever !!! I agree with ur review and thank you for your hard work putting it on the screen.
Heck ya! Thats great to hear! Glad you’re loving them too!😁🙏🏻and thanks for the feedback and checking out my video! Greatly appreciate it! Once you get used to them you can’t go back!
I’m an advanced snowboarder, and using Clews for 3 months. I’m loving it. You lose a bit of comfort/shock absorption for easy step in/out. Indeed there are bindings with more shock absorption, but they are improving. In the beginning I still had a little issue to get out, but was me adapting to it. I really recommend to be really careful with that red screw that you showed on the toe strap, I almost lost one before slopes. Overall I really recommend, even after the Angrysnowboard review. I think that he missed some good points.
Nice! Glad to hear you’re enjoying them as well!! Ya they aren’t the most damp but I think they do pretty solid job and especially the newer foam makes them significantly better. I don’t want them too too damp anyway, I prefer to feel a little bit but that’s just my personal preference. Ya the first few days till I learned keeping the weight on my heel I thought something was wrong with them, but once I learned that I haven’t ever had any trouble. Dang, ya if you lost that you’d be potentially SOL but I’ve only ever adjusted them at home or in the car. Glad you didn’t lose it! That would make for a bad day for sure! Ya his review just felt too biased/one sided. He went into them already hating them and I feel like because of that he glossed over a lot and definitely didn’t touch on everything. It just felt like an excuse to make a video trashing a product without any solid input or anything to back up a lot of the claims he made.
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes I would say this review is also biased since you make more money if you get people to buy them. Why would you say anything negative if that affects your paycheck?
I had a problem with CLEW screws not reaching my board (only my right leg, I'm regular). I wasted almost 1 hour trying different positions, pressing the binding, etc. I just used my old Salomon binding screws, and it worked. CLEW is a game-changer for me. I have mobility issues, and every time all my friends need to wait for me because I was super slow to engage normal bindings. Now I'm faster like a skier, and my resort runs aren't the biggest ones. Also, My resort doesn't have super long runs, so I have to keep taking off and putting on the bindings frequently. I don't get as tired from constantly bending down to put on the bindings, and I can ride for at least 1 hour longer compared to before (I typically spend an average of 6 hours on the mountain with a break usually for lunch after 3 hours). Damp it's not very good (2024 version), but I like more live.. It's not perfect product but I liked.
That’s awesome! And great that they were able to help you out a lot! I’ve heard of a lot of people with mobility issues of different sorts and step in/on bindings have helped them out tremendously! Glad you’re able to get some extra laps and time on the mountain in because of it! I’m in the same boat. My local resort runs are only 1-2 min long so on a typical day you’re looking at 20ish laps so that’s 40 times you have to strap/unstrap (20 of each) so to have a way to speed that process up is a game changer for sure! I think a lot of people at bigger resorts or with access to longer runs don’t realize what it can be like on smaller hills. That’s weird that your screws didn’t reach though. No idea why that could be 🤷🏻♂️ I’m the same way, I don’t want a binding that’s overly damp, I like to feel a bit of what’s going on so for that I think they’re about in the sweet spot for me.😁🤙🏻
I had the same problem but finally figured it out. So if you go to 10:05 -10:10 of the video he shows you sliding the toe section of the foot pad. Make sure it’s set into position. If it’s not fully set into the grooves the screws won’t reach. It’s easy for it to be resting on the grooves so make sure it’s flush first. It drove me nuts for the first hour until I figured that out haha
@@woodmyster ahhhhhhh gotcha! That makes sense, since it’s not in the groove it probably would make it a tiny bit taller! Thanks for that, I had no idea how that could happen 🤣
@@lucasrocha633 not the toe strap part I’m talking about. The bottom plate part that the adjustment for the length of the binding. It needs to sit flush in the grooves and it will sit lower. Flip it upside down and you can see it better
After two seasons, I still love my Clews. I found it easier than my Nidecker Supermatics, GNU psycs, K2 Clickers and Burton Step ons. Gonna buy just the base set to attach it to my second board.
Nice!!!!! Glad to hear it! Thats awesome! I always wanted to get on a set of supermatics just to see how they compared! Glad to hear these do it better for you! Yes! The second base set makes life so much easier! I was so glad when I got it😁🤙🏻
Thanks for the thorough review . Been riding burton step ons for a few years and looking to get into Clews next season. I have two questions that you hopefully can answer. 1: I wear a size 14 boot. Do you know if the Large Clew binding accommodates that size? 2: Can i ride the Clews with my Burton photon boots or will the heel catch get in the way?
Thanks for checking it out! The Burtons are a great system as well, but I definitely prefer these out of the two😁 but both are great 1. I’m not 100% about the sizing question, but I can definitely reach out to somebody and get you an answer for sure. I’ll shoot them a message right after I answer this comment.😁 2. that was the only downside when I switched from the Burtons to these, I love my photon boots, but with the heel piece, they won’t fit in the binding. I wound up selling mine to buy some new boots. I have never done it, but I have seen people talk about taking the heel cleat off and riding without it. But I’m not sure what that does, in terms of keeping water out of getting into the boot. Since it does leave a screw hole in the back of the boot.
Alright I heard back from CLEW. This was their exact response “Hey Alex! It totally depends on the model of shoe. I always recommend to measure the boot and take a look into the sizing chart of our binding. We also have extension straps to make an L binding into an XL one. This might work with his size 14 🙏🏻”
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes Hey Alex, Ok. Thanks again for the info. Definitely helpful. Just for the record, I did measure my boot and referenced Clews sizing chart but still wasn't able to get the info needed. Greatly appreciate the response and your efforts. Keep on Shredding!!
Hey Alex, I used Clew bindings for 4 months, and there use to be a video on my channel about how much I loved them. But I have a question for you, have you ever tried strap in bindings AFTER spending a long time on step in bindings? I picked up a pair of strap in Union Ultras, deemed "the most comfortable binding?" by BoardArchive, Casey Willax rides them as well, and even the Angry Snowboarder had them in his top 5 park bindings of this year. When I got on the Union Ultras, I noticed my riding immediately progressed. It's almost like because they don't have to worry about a step in feature, they can focus all their effort into the quality of ride for the binding. For example, there's soooo much foam on these bindings. Like there's foam UNDERNEATH the binding while Clew has 0 foam underneath the binding. It became worth the time investment FOR ME PERSONALLY to strap in as opposed to step in. You think I should make a video on my experience? Trying to think of video ideas. I wrote this out cuz I'm script writing for it 😂Do you script write for your videos?
I definitely think you should make that video talking about your experience. I honestly haven’t but I will have to try. I’m on my way to Mt. Bachelor and plan on taking some laps on my buddies mind expander and his jones bindings. I came from riding union contact pros and burton malavitas and never felt like I’ve sacrificed anything but maybe I’ll see where I’ve been on them for so long now. Definitely something interesting to try
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes Thanks for the advice my guy! Yeah could be something cool to showcase on your channel too. Everyone different it could've just been because I needed a super soft binding to learn the tricks as I am still pretty new to park
@@MountainMitchYT no problem! Definitely do it! I think it’ll do well. Ya definitely bindings all come down to rider preference and style. There’s no “one size fits all” and everybody’s going to have different needs 😁👍🏼
To each their own, but I’ve been running these for two seasons now with no issues and no complaints. On top of doing laps on these back-to-back against other bindings and I still just prefer the ride I get with these.
@@coloradoruffneck4230 the bsod was my buddies and not mine. That was my first and only lap I took on his board and his stance is vastly different than mine so it took me a min to adjust. Also was end of season barely no snow conditions. Not to mention, I didn’t catch the edge and rode it out just fine soooooo🤫
Another review of a “PERFECT” binding!!! 👏🏻 It’s annoying how every reviewer fails to mention the negatives of this binding! Yes, its a massive step forward for snowboarding world! And I’m stoked about it, but for this price point that base plate is unacceptable for any serious rider! Having a good base plate (the only thing thats in direct contact with the board) is bare minimum these days for any good binding. Loved the easy in & out mechanism, straps and high back works well but 0 heel shock absorption, terrible board feel, bad for topsheet. You would hate the ride quality if you’re used to any good binding but love the innovation. I really hope they improve the baseplate (heel shock absorption & bushing) in upcoming season so I can finally get them!
I’m not saying that they’re perfect, I don’t think any product will ever be perfect, but for me they pretty much tick all the boxes and I don’t really have any complaints. I do agree tweaking the base and maybe adding in something to the bottom to allow it to flex, or go to a mini disk vs a standard disk size would improve them for sure and hope that’s something they adopt in the future. But I’m happy with how they ride as a whole and have had a very positive experience with them. They’re definitely not the most damp for sure but they do a solid enough job for me and I’ve got no complaints. I prefer a bit of the board feel underneath me anyway vs an overly damp binding. In the past I’ve ridden union forces, contact pros, burton malavitas, burton step ons, just for reference of other bindings I’ve been on. My buddy recently got some jones bindings I’d like to ride just to see how they compare ride quality wise since I’ve heard they’re supposed to be phenomenal
@@Ryy22 I can say the jones bindings dampening and straps were the most comfortable I’ve ever used. I still prefer the response/ride feel of my clews but the comfort of jones was top notch
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes have you had contact with clew about possible adjustments in future iterations? Improved dampening and maybe a mini disk or something?
Well said! I’m sure you’ll get some rant bollox from the big A… which will be fun. Great content for us average or even less than average snowboarders without a chip on our shoulders 👍 used them for a week and they worked faultlessly but I do think the straps could be better quality IMO. Other than that they were great.
Ya I’m sure they’ll show up haha ever since his review it’s been a barrage but they’ve slowed down for the moment 🤣what do ya do though🤷🏻♂️I enjoy a good snowboard equipment debate anyway haha. Maybe they aren’t for everyone but as a whole I’ve been perfectly happy with them, but to each their own! Glad to hear you liked them too. I haven’t had an issue with the straps but I know I talked to someone in the comments sometime last year who swapped out the straps with some from burton bindings and said he loved them that way. I’ve never looked into trying it though.
Haha thanks man! I have to say I think it may have been the most snow I’ve ever been in. It may have it beat! Truly possibly the best 2 days of riding I’ve ever had. I didn’t think Utah could ever be dethroned. It’s weird Utah had higher numbers but the way that snow was in Colorado it felt way deeper than what they were calling.
I’ve used my Burton step ons for the last 2 seasons. I love how quick I can get in and out of them but I don’t like the little heel lift I get with them. Do you experience any of that with the clew? I’m thinking about possibly getting something else for next season since I hate that little wiggle room heel lift I get with my step ons.
Nice! I liked the burton step ons a lot as well, they did have that little bit of heel lift but not enough to ever bother me. But as for the clew no they don’t have any. The highback is locked in, sturdy and doesn’t move. Then you don’t get any wiggle from the straps either since it’s just like a traditional binding
I know you mentioned that you didnt feel as much chatter on these, but for me i felt every single bump & somehow my back & legs were sore the days after riding it, but when i was using my union forces, i didnt have this issue... so not sure if it's just a user error thing or just not enough padding. wonder if you could apply foam somewhere on the bottom of these lol
Ya they definitely aren’t the MOST DAMP but with the newer foam it’s a significant improvement for me and even then I’d never say it was bad for me. I’ve always enjoyed the way they feel but I I like a little bit of board feel anyway, I don’t want them overly damp. So it’s hard to say, I know there was a guy who commented on one of my videos a few weeks ago saying he added in some foam and padded and even filled in the gap under the highback. He had said he was going to send me photos but never did🤷🏻♂️ you could also maybe try insoles and see if they helped enough, I’ve never ran snowboard insoles so I’m not sure. I’ve heard they’re game changers 🤣
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes true idk it was an experience for me for sure lol had a mammoth trip last month & at the top of the summit went down and i was hurting LOL felt everything which was little shocking ahhaha i gotta try that foam thing as for the insole, i've tried that before! but i have to size up on my boot which was a bummer.
@@KY-xv9oc dang, I hate to hear that. And I hope it didn’t put too much of a damper on your trip. I’m at work right now, I’ll try and comb through the comments tonight and see where that guy explained what he did and send it to you if I can find it. Hopefully you can get them riding how you like. Side note how was mammoth? I’ve always wanted to go
Just wondering, do youtuber promo codes stack? For example, am i able to use your link, and also another youtubers code to save more money? Like i think jonathan buckhous also has a code.
@@julieliu4889 nope, unfortunately they don’t stack. The best deal was the preorder price, but I believe if they do like they did last season, the first day or 2 they go on sale they’ll be discounted to that same price also.
I'm having some problems with my clews wondering if anyone here have the same issue. The screwa on the baseplate gets loosened very easily, like I have to check and tightened them up before every session. I never had this problem with other brands.
I had it the first time I tightened them down on my original set but never again after that. I’ve had it with a few bindings in the past the first time I’d use them. But a few things I would check would be to make sure the footbed is fully in the right position on the bottom, also make sure the to strap is pulled all the way up into the groove up underneath the binding and maybe it’s not sitting totally flush. Hopefully you’re able to fix it 🙏🏻
To be 100% honest I just hate these bindings, I can totaly understand everybody using these bindings, they are insanely easy to use, in the lift line clip in, clip out, super quicker. But the base plate is horrible, way to stiff! I ride minidisk bindings on every board I use, I use boots with a thin sole and stuff, the board feels way better, more feedback underfoot, better damped and asspecialy on jums, the landing just feels harsh. The feel underfoot isn't great in general. For intermediate riders thats not a problem, for me who rides at least 30 or more days every season it is. I'm not saying don't buy it youre wrong, I'm just saying there are some not to minor downsides to the bindings, which are not design flaws but just the way the bindings are build to be what they are.
What’s your take on all the hate these get? Aside from vloggers I see a bunch of negative stuff on forums, and the angry snowboarder tore these apart. Just curious since you say you don’t get paid to review these like other channels.
So I could be wrong but I’d wager to say the majority of the hate stems from 3 groups all of which who have never actually tried these bindings. And amongst that a lot of misinformation gets spread 1.) the online trolls who just jump on the hate bandwagon along with several other brands that get a lot of unnecessary hate 2.) the more “traditional” snowboarders who hate anything new or different. The same ones that 2-3 years ago gave burton step ons the same massive surge in hate till these came along, and once another method comes out, they’ll move on to hating the next trend. 3. The people who tried step ons in the 90s and had a bad experience (these I at least understand) so they have no desire to try the new ones. I’m not saying that covers all of the hate but I’d say that covers the majority. Of course they may not be for everybody but most people that I’ve talked in person or in comments that have actually tried riding them either love them or at least have some positive take away even if they still aren’t for them. Again everybody is different and has different rising styles/preferences
As for angrys “review” I’ve watched it twice because after it was posted, where I was one of the ones specifically called out, I woke up to more hate messages in one morning than I’ve ever received probably the entire time I’ve been posting and what I can say is this: it felt more biased and one sided than any review I’ve ever watched of any product ever. He’s done nothing but trash them, or any step in bindings, so of course he was going to completely hate them. But what I really didn’t like about it specifically was the fact that he makes all these claims but then gives 0 proof or evidence to back any of them up. He literally says “these screws look different…THEY MUST BE CHEAP”, and talking about buttering out of them or screws shearing off. I feel like if you’re going to make claims that bold, show some photo or video proof to back it up. Me personally I just can’t trust a product reviewer whom you never see actually use or test that product. To me it just felt like a cheap cash grab at Adsense because he knows the step in/step on bindings are a hot and trending topic. And no surprise it’s his best performing video he’s posted in years
Again they may not be for everyone but as a whole I’ve been happy with mine the whole time, and you can look through the comments here as well and anybody else on here that’s used them has a similar opinion 🤷🏻♂️ I just think people should give them a fair shot and test ride before totally knocking a product
@@BoardsBikesAndHikesright on, thanks for the thoughtful reply. I’m not trying to start shit, but I do think a lot of people seem to hate w/out real world experience. And it’s just a little ironic that they bash clews because they are backed by influencers, when they are getting that narrative from other influencers. 🤷🏻♂️
To each their own, but it’s really not that bad. And the new version is especially comfortable and I really really like it. It’s a significantly softer material as well as about double the thickness. They aren’t wiggling, they’re sliding on the table because it’s a super slick finish on that coffee table. That table is about as slick as an air hockey table.🤣
My bad, I’ve mentioned it in several other videos and just completely forgot to add it in to this one. The bindings themselves weigh 2.4lbs (2.8 with all the hardware) they’re about 2 oz heavier than a standard traditional binding. Then as for rigidity they’re a stiffer binding. Like a 8-9/10 in terms of flex 🙂🤙🏻
So many shills in this comment section! I really dig the idea and the engineering involved in designing these bindings but they are just plain terrible. If they didn’t have the step in/out function they would be really mediocre bindings. They’re like a set of bindings from 15 years ago with the step in function added on top. They need to go back to the drawing board. Don’t get me wrong I love that there are companies out there that are innovating and coming up with some interesting stuff. Clew just seems to be buying reviews and positive opinions through TH-camrs and other snowboarding “influencers”. If the bindings were good in the first place they wouldn’t need to send out every snowboarding TH-camr a free set plus some affiliate link cash…
@@stargazeification because if it’s a good review it has to be a shill right?😂 but have you ever actually ridden a set yourself? There’s so many people riding them now a days and anybody I’ve talked to with a set actually out on the mountain always have nothing but positive things to say about them. Last year every ski resort I went to I ran into at least 1-2 people running them and they were enjoying them just as much as myself
@@stargazeification also having an affiliate link doesn’t mean anything. You can create an affiliate link for literally any product or brand so why would you push a certain one if you didn’t like it? I could create one in 2 seconds for union, nidecker, Burton etc
@ hey I’m not gonna say they’re not enjoyable. You could go snowboarding on the crapiest rental board and still have fun. I got to try them for about 4 days and just found them super clunky and heavy. Not much flex if any and the base being a big chunk of plastic made the board feel super dead. Had some problems with the ratchets too and the straps coming loose, had a screw work loose then lost it. They were however my friends pair so they weren’t brand new which could definitely have something to do with the problems I encountered. Like I think the design is pretty cool and original, but walking around with the high back and having basically a stirrup under foot just felt a bit awkward. QC seems to be a bit lacking too. It seems very coincidental that every TH-camr and influencer has the same thing to say about the clews, that they’re amazing and they’d never go back to standard bindings. You would think there’d be a couple of people saying they weren’t the best or even that they just prefer standard bindings. But everyone who gets an affiliate link and a few sets of these all say they’re amazing. Seems extremely convenient. I really want to try the supermatics, they seem like a super interesting design too without having something extra strapped to your foot. Be interesting to know if you’ve tried them or the Burton step ons. Problem with the burtons is being limited to only Burton and dc boots. So the fact that the clews and the supermatics let you use any boot is a massive plus.
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes then why don’t you? I’m not intimately familiar with your channel but I’m guessing you don’t have an affiliate link to every product you use/review. Sorry I’m not trying to give you specifically a hard time or anything, it just seems like there’s a series of TH-cam snowboarding channels all pushing clew pretty hard.
@ nah no worries I totally get it and I appreciate you saying that. You get so many people that just jump on the troll bandwagon. They are pushed pretty heavy right now, I get that for sure, but they’ve gained so much popularity in the last 2 years so I think that’s why. I had mine before that big wave started. I do have affiliate links for most of my gear that I’ll post in my full videos of snowboarding. Anything I actually like/use I have links for. If I don’t like it I won’t make one. I’ve done a few reviews I wasn’t a fan of a product and didn’t make those links.
Riding whistler and the second day the latch on the foot bed blew up and rendered the bindings useless . Clew refunded my money right away . Absolute crap if you ride hard . Don’t buy !!!
@@jasonw820 dang that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Whistler of all places that would really suck. Hope you were able to get it sorted and on some new bindings quick where it didn’t mess up your trip. At least you got your money back quick
Fuck angry snowboarder! I believe this guy! Just wondering, burton step on 2025 looks better now. They say even faster in and out and more feeling whit your board because of EST. You gonna try them?
Dude, you’re young and fit and have no reason to use a quick in and out binding! Unlike this old boy with a bad back. You’re holding back your progression massively using a compromised product that you don’t need. Why would anyone use a step in/on bindings unless they really needed it. I’m happy to loose the 25% control these products take away because I’m On the back 9 after 35 years on a board and it’s the only real way I can get up the mountain and ride.
True. I don’t need them but enjoy them🤷🏻♂️ sorry about your back though. I even rode these back to back with my buddies jones bindings and I honestly didn’t feel much of a difference in terms of flex/control/dampening. I felt equally as comfortable on both 😁
Even Jonathan Buckhouse says what I'm about to say below. If you're getting both clicks every time, document that, make an unedited video showing you getting off the lift and getting both clicks in right away. Do that on a normal ski day with just a little bit of snow in the base. Even the tiniest bit of snow, any kind of snow: slush, fresh snow stuck in the base will prevent the bindings to secure to the base. One click, never 2 clicks.

This video was exactly all the information I needed to make my decision on buying 2 sets of Clew binding. My son(15 years old) got hooked on snowboarding and I got back into it again to spend time with him. Thank you for posting this! Ride safe!
Thanks for checking it out! I really appreciate it! I’m glad I could help and hope you have a blast getting back into it! I love these things!
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes I just ordered 2 sets. One for my son and one for me. He'll get his choice of color for his birthday. Lol
@@swizzcheezs that’s awesome haha! I need a white set too 😂
Got my clews over 2years now and even when I had some issues how to step in and out at the beginning you get really fast used to it and it‘s game changer !!! Don‘t want to miss the clews forever !!! I agree with ur review and thank you for your hard work putting it on the screen.
Heck ya! Thats great to hear! Glad you’re loving them too!😁🙏🏻and thanks for the feedback and checking out my video! Greatly appreciate it! Once you get used to them you can’t go back!
I’m an advanced snowboarder, and using Clews for 3 months. I’m loving it. You lose a bit of comfort/shock absorption for easy step in/out. Indeed there are bindings with more shock absorption, but they are improving. In the beginning I still had a little issue to get out, but was me adapting to it. I really recommend to be really careful with that red screw that you showed on the toe strap, I almost lost one before slopes. Overall I really recommend, even after the Angrysnowboard review. I think that he missed some good points.
Nice! Glad to hear you’re enjoying them as well!! Ya they aren’t the most damp but I think they do pretty solid job and especially the newer foam makes them significantly better. I don’t want them too too damp anyway, I prefer to feel a little bit but that’s just my personal preference. Ya the first few days till I learned keeping the weight on my heel I thought something was wrong with them, but once I learned that I haven’t ever had any trouble. Dang, ya if you lost that you’d be potentially SOL but I’ve only ever adjusted them at home or in the car. Glad you didn’t lose it! That would make for a bad day for sure!
Ya his review just felt too biased/one sided. He went into them already hating them and I feel like because of that he glossed over a lot and definitely didn’t touch on everything. It just felt like an excuse to make a video trashing a product without any solid input or anything to back up a lot of the claims he made.
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes I would say this review is also biased since you make more money if you get people to buy them. Why would you say anything negative if that affects your paycheck?
Totally agree! The Clews are such a big step forward and I love it 🎉
Thanks for checking it out! 😁🙏🏻Glad to hear it!!!!
ew
I had a problem with CLEW screws not reaching my board (only my right leg, I'm regular). I wasted almost 1 hour trying different positions, pressing the binding, etc. I just used my old Salomon binding screws, and it worked. CLEW is a game-changer for me. I have mobility issues, and every time all my friends need to wait for me because I was super slow to engage normal bindings. Now I'm faster like a skier, and my resort runs aren't the biggest ones.
Also, My resort doesn't have super long runs, so I have to keep taking off and putting on the bindings frequently. I don't get as tired from constantly bending down to put on the bindings, and I can ride for at least 1 hour longer compared to before (I typically spend an average of 6 hours on the mountain with a break usually for lunch after 3 hours). Damp it's not very good (2024 version), but I like more live.. It's not perfect product but I liked.
That’s awesome! And great that they were able to help you out a lot! I’ve heard of a lot of people with mobility issues of different sorts and step in/on bindings have helped them out tremendously! Glad you’re able to get some extra laps and time on the mountain in because of it! I’m in the same boat. My local resort runs are only 1-2 min long so on a typical day you’re looking at 20ish laps so that’s 40 times you have to strap/unstrap (20 of each) so to have a way to speed that process up is a game changer for sure! I think a lot of people at bigger resorts or with access to longer runs don’t realize what it can be like on smaller hills. That’s weird that your screws didn’t reach though. No idea why that could be 🤷🏻♂️ I’m the same way, I don’t want a binding that’s overly damp, I like to feel a bit of what’s going on so for that I think they’re about in the sweet spot for me.😁🤙🏻
I had the same problem but finally figured it out. So if you go to 10:05 -10:10 of the video he shows you sliding the toe section of the foot pad. Make sure it’s set into position. If it’s not fully set into the grooves the screws won’t reach. It’s easy for it to be resting on the grooves so make sure it’s flush first. It drove me nuts for the first hour until I figured that out haha
@@woodmyster ahhhhhhh gotcha! That makes sense, since it’s not in the groove it probably would make it a tiny bit taller! Thanks for that, I had no idea how that could happen 🤣
@@woodmyster do you mean the plastic at toe strap bottom? we can slide for two different positions? mine is in the second position..
@@lucasrocha633 not the toe strap part I’m talking about. The bottom plate part that the adjustment for the length of the binding. It needs to sit flush in the grooves and it will sit lower. Flip it upside down and you can see it better
After two seasons, I still love my Clews. I found it easier than my Nidecker Supermatics, GNU psycs, K2 Clickers and Burton Step ons. Gonna buy just the base set to attach it to my second board.
Nice!!!!! Glad to hear it! Thats awesome! I always wanted to get on a set of supermatics just to see how they compared! Glad to hear these do it better for you! Yes! The second base set makes life so much easier! I was so glad when I got it😁🤙🏻
Thats what i did , 2 x base plates👍
The best snowboard binding on the market🔥
Wooowoooo🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻I concur 👍🏼
Kook
Thanks for the thorough review . Been riding burton step ons for a few years and looking to get into Clews next season. I have two questions that you hopefully can answer.
1: I wear a size 14 boot. Do you know if the Large Clew binding accommodates that size?
2: Can i ride the Clews with my Burton photon boots or will the heel catch get in the way?
Thanks for checking it out! The Burtons are a great system as well, but I definitely prefer these out of the two😁 but both are great
1. I’m not 100% about the sizing question, but I can definitely reach out to somebody and get you an answer for sure. I’ll shoot them a message right after I answer this comment.😁
2. that was the only downside when I switched from the Burtons to these, I love my photon boots, but with the heel piece, they won’t fit in the binding. I wound up selling mine to buy some new boots. I have never done it, but I have seen people talk about taking the heel cleat off and riding without it. But I’m not sure what that does, in terms of keeping water out of getting into the boot. Since it does leave a screw hole in the back of the boot.
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes Great. Thanks for that boot info. pretty much as I suspected.
Alright I heard back from CLEW. This was their exact response
“Hey Alex!
It totally depends on the model of shoe. I always recommend to measure the boot and take a look into the sizing chart of our binding.
We also have extension straps to make an L binding into an XL one. This might work with his size 14 🙏🏻”
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes
Hey Alex,
Ok. Thanks again for the info. Definitely helpful.
Just for the record, I did measure my boot and referenced Clews sizing chart but still wasn't able to get the info needed. Greatly appreciate the response and your efforts.
Keep on Shredding!!
@@Ken-kd7ow dang. Sorry to hear that 😞hopefully you can figure it out. You too!🥶🤙🏻
Hey Alex, I used Clew bindings for 4 months, and there use to be a video on my channel about how much I loved them. But I have a question for you, have you ever tried strap in bindings AFTER spending a long time on step in bindings? I picked up a pair of strap in Union Ultras, deemed "the most comfortable binding?" by BoardArchive, Casey Willax rides them as well, and even the Angry Snowboarder had them in his top 5 park bindings of this year. When I got on the Union Ultras, I noticed my riding immediately progressed. It's almost like because they don't have to worry about a step in feature, they can focus all their effort into the quality of ride for the binding. For example, there's soooo much foam on these bindings. Like there's foam UNDERNEATH the binding while Clew has 0 foam underneath the binding. It became worth the time investment FOR ME PERSONALLY to strap in as opposed to step in.
You think I should make a video on my experience? Trying to think of video ideas. I wrote this out cuz I'm script writing for it 😂Do you script write for your videos?
I definitely think you should make that video talking about your experience. I honestly haven’t but I will have to try. I’m on my way to Mt. Bachelor and plan on taking some laps on my buddies mind expander and his jones bindings. I came from riding union contact pros and burton malavitas and never felt like I’ve sacrificed anything but maybe I’ll see where I’ve been on them for so long now. Definitely something interesting to try
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes Thanks for the advice my guy! Yeah could be something cool to showcase on your channel too. Everyone different it could've just been because I needed a super soft binding to learn the tricks as I am still pretty new to park
@@MountainMitchYT no problem! Definitely do it! I think it’ll do well. Ya definitely bindings all come down to rider preference and style. There’s no “one size fits all” and everybody’s going to have different needs 😁👍🏼
Who ever say these are the best bindings in the market are definitely dead brain 💀💀💀 big yiiiikes
To each their own, but I’ve been running these for two seasons now with no issues and no complaints. On top of doing laps on these back-to-back against other bindings and I still just prefer the ride I get with these.
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes you cant even ride. You almost caught edges trying to point a BSOD
@@coloradoruffneck4230 the bsod was my buddies and not mine. That was my first and only lap I took on his board and his stance is vastly different than mine so it took me a min to adjust. Also was end of season barely no snow conditions. Not to mention, I didn’t catch the edge and rode it out just fine soooooo🤫
Another review of a “PERFECT” binding!!! 👏🏻
It’s annoying how every reviewer fails to mention the negatives of this binding!
Yes, its a massive step forward for snowboarding world! And I’m stoked about it, but for this price point that base plate is unacceptable for any serious rider! Having a good base plate (the only thing thats in direct contact with the board) is bare minimum these days for any good binding.
Loved the easy in & out mechanism, straps and high back works well but 0 heel shock absorption, terrible board feel, bad for topsheet.
You would hate the ride quality if you’re used to any good binding but love the innovation.
I really hope they improve the baseplate (heel shock absorption & bushing) in upcoming season so I can finally get them!
I’m not saying that they’re perfect, I don’t think any product will ever be perfect, but for me they pretty much tick all the boxes and I don’t really have any complaints. I do agree tweaking the base and maybe adding in something to the bottom to allow it to flex, or go to a mini disk vs a standard disk size would improve them for sure and hope that’s something they adopt in the future. But I’m happy with how they ride as a whole and have had a very positive experience with them. They’re definitely not the most damp for sure but they do a solid enough job for me and I’ve got no complaints. I prefer a bit of the board feel underneath me anyway vs an overly damp binding.
In the past I’ve ridden union forces, contact pros, burton malavitas, burton step ons, just for reference of other bindings I’ve been on. My buddy recently got some jones bindings I’d like to ride just to see how they compare ride quality wise since I’ve heard they’re supposed to be phenomenal
@@BoardsBikesAndHikesso how were the Jones bindings?
@@Ryy22 I can say the jones bindings dampening and straps were the most comfortable I’ve ever used. I still prefer the response/ride feel of my clews but the comfort of jones was top notch
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes have you had contact with clew about possible adjustments in future iterations? Improved dampening and maybe a mini disk or something?
@@Ryy22 I have not. I mentioned it in one of my reviews last season, but I haven’t spoken with them specifically about it. They also haven’t asked 😁
Well said! I’m sure you’ll get some rant bollox from the big A… which will be fun. Great content for us average or even less than average snowboarders without a chip on our shoulders 👍 used them for a week and they worked faultlessly but I do think the straps could be better quality IMO. Other than that they were great.
Ya I’m sure they’ll show up haha ever since his review it’s been a barrage but they’ve slowed down for the moment 🤣what do ya do though🤷🏻♂️I enjoy a good snowboard equipment debate anyway haha. Maybe they aren’t for everyone but as a whole I’ve been perfectly happy with them, but to each their own!
Glad to hear you liked them too. I haven’t had an issue with the straps but I know I talked to someone in the comments sometime last year who swapped out the straps with some from burton bindings and said he loved them that way. I’ve never looked into trying it though.
Watching this while putting on ski boots 😂
Nice!!!! Have a sick day out there! So jealous! 13 days and I’ll be in Oregon🙌🏻ready to be back on snow!
Thanks for checking it out 🥶
Man... I feel like your POW footy from Winter Park is even more epic than the stuff you got from Brighton and Solitude last year!
Haha thanks man! I have to say I think it may have been the most snow I’ve ever been in. It may have it beat! Truly possibly the best 2 days of riding I’ve ever had. I didn’t think Utah could ever be dethroned. It’s weird Utah had higher numbers but the way that snow was in Colorado it felt way deeper than what they were calling.
I’ve used my Burton step ons for the last 2 seasons. I love how quick I can get in and out of them but I don’t like the little heel lift I get with them. Do you experience any of that with the clew? I’m thinking about possibly getting something else for next season since I hate that little wiggle room heel lift I get with my step ons.
Nice! I liked the burton step ons a lot as well, they did have that little bit of heel lift but not enough to ever bother me. But as for the clew no they don’t have any. The highback is locked in, sturdy and doesn’t move. Then you don’t get any wiggle from the straps either since it’s just like a traditional binding
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes That’s really helpful to know. Thanks so much for being so quick to reply. Keep up the good work! Great channel!
@@Frenchick no problem! I’m glad I could help 🙂thank you so much!
I know you mentioned that you didnt feel as much chatter on these, but for me i felt every single bump & somehow my back & legs were sore the days after riding it, but when i was using my union forces, i didnt have this issue... so not sure if it's just a user error thing or just not enough padding. wonder if you could apply foam somewhere on the bottom of these lol
Ya they definitely aren’t the MOST DAMP but with the newer foam it’s a significant improvement for me and even then I’d never say it was bad for me. I’ve always enjoyed the way they feel but I I like a little bit of board feel anyway, I don’t want them overly damp.
So it’s hard to say, I know there was a guy who commented on one of my videos a few weeks ago saying he added in some foam and padded and even filled in the gap under the highback. He had said he was going to send me photos but never did🤷🏻♂️ you could also maybe try insoles and see if they helped enough, I’ve never ran snowboard insoles so I’m not sure. I’ve heard they’re game changers 🤣
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes true idk it was an experience for me for sure lol had a mammoth trip last month & at the top of the summit went down and i was hurting LOL felt everything which was little shocking ahhaha i gotta try that foam thing as for the insole, i've tried that before! but i have to size up on my boot which was a bummer.
@@KY-xv9oc dang, I hate to hear that. And I hope it didn’t put too much of a damper on your trip. I’m at work right now, I’ll try and comb through the comments tonight and see where that guy explained what he did and send it to you if I can find it. Hopefully you can get them riding how you like.
Side note how was mammoth? I’ve always wanted to go
@@BoardsBikesAndHikesI did this actually. Was it a comment from me? I used a thin sheet of memory foam. In which video was the comment
@@Ryy22 ah! Yes! There was you and one other guy who used some sort of spray foam or something! I scrolled forever and couldn’t find the comments 🤣
Just wondering, do youtuber promo codes stack? For example, am i able to use your link, and also another youtubers code to save more money? Like i think jonathan buckhous also has a code.
@@julieliu4889 nope, unfortunately they don’t stack. The best deal was the preorder price, but I believe if they do like they did last season, the first day or 2 they go on sale they’ll be discounted to that same price also.
But codes won’t stack with that price but it will give you the lowest price you can get them for
Okay, thanks for the info. Love the vids btw, thinking about whether to buy it 👍
@@julieliu4889 no problem! Thanks for checking it out!😄🤙🏻I believe they go on sale early October. I’m a huge fan of them
Are these bindings compatible on a wakeboard?
I don’t think so but have no idea. That would be sick
I'm having some problems with my clews wondering if anyone here have the same issue. The screwa on the baseplate gets loosened very easily, like I have to check and tightened them up before every session. I never had this problem with other brands.
I had it the first time I tightened them down on my original set but never again after that. I’ve had it with a few bindings in the past the first time I’d use them. But a few things I would check would be to make sure the footbed is fully in the right position on the bottom, also make sure the to strap is pulled all the way up into the groove up underneath the binding and maybe it’s not sitting totally flush. Hopefully you’re able to fix it 🙏🏻
The best snowboard binding on the market
Wooooowooooo🥶🤙🏻
Your backpack link is a 404. Do you have a new one?
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll update it😁🙏🏻

My exact color is out of stock but they have one that’s close
When ordering, will it be shipped from Germany or from here in the US?
Germany🥶
To be 100% honest I just hate these bindings, I can totaly understand everybody using these bindings, they are insanely easy to use, in the lift line clip in, clip out, super quicker. But the base plate is horrible, way to stiff! I ride minidisk bindings on every board I use, I use boots with a thin sole and stuff, the board feels way better, more feedback underfoot, better damped and asspecialy on jums, the landing just feels harsh. The feel underfoot isn't great in general. For intermediate riders thats not a problem, for me who rides at least 30 or more days every season it is. I'm not saying don't buy it youre wrong, I'm just saying there are some not to minor downsides to the bindings, which are not design flaws but just the way the bindings are build to be what they are.
Gimmick. Wouldn’t waste my money trying these when there’s better products out there for less. Good luck with them.
To each their own, but I have tried a few options, not all of them, but out of the ones I have tried these do the best job for me personally
What’s your take on all the hate these get? Aside from vloggers I see a bunch of negative stuff on forums, and the angry snowboarder tore these apart. Just curious since you say you don’t get paid to review these like other channels.
Because they're shit bindings. Thats why there's hate..
So I could be wrong but I’d wager to say the majority of the hate stems from 3 groups all of which who have never actually tried these bindings. And amongst that a lot of misinformation gets spread
1.) the online trolls who just jump on the hate bandwagon along with several other brands that get a lot of unnecessary hate
2.) the more “traditional” snowboarders who hate anything new or different. The same ones that 2-3 years ago gave burton step ons the same massive surge in hate till these came along, and once another method comes out, they’ll move on to hating the next trend.
3. The people who tried step ons in the 90s and had a bad experience (these I at least understand) so they have no desire to try the new ones.
I’m not saying that covers all of the hate but I’d say that covers the majority. Of course they may not be for everybody but most people that I’ve talked in person or in comments that have actually tried riding them either love them or at least have some positive take away even if they still aren’t for them. Again everybody is different and has different rising styles/preferences
As for angrys “review” I’ve watched it twice because after it was posted, where I was one of the ones specifically called out, I woke up to more hate messages in one morning than I’ve ever received probably the entire time I’ve been posting and what I can say is this: it felt more biased and one sided than any review I’ve ever watched of any product ever. He’s done nothing but trash them, or any step in bindings, so of course he was going to completely hate them. But what I really didn’t like about it specifically was the fact that he makes all these claims but then gives 0 proof or evidence to back any of them up. He literally says “these screws look different…THEY MUST BE CHEAP”, and talking about buttering out of them or screws shearing off. I feel like if you’re going to make claims that bold, show some photo or video proof to back it up. Me personally I just can’t trust a product reviewer whom you never see actually use or test that product. To me it just felt like a cheap cash grab at Adsense because he knows the step in/step on bindings are a hot and trending topic. And no surprise it’s his best performing video he’s posted in years
Again they may not be for everyone but as a whole I’ve been happy with mine the whole time, and you can look through the comments here as well and anybody else on here that’s used them has a similar opinion 🤷🏻♂️ I just think people should give them a fair shot and test ride before totally knocking a product
@@BoardsBikesAndHikesright on, thanks for the thoughtful reply. I’m not trying to start shit, but I do think a lot of people seem to hate w/out real world experience. And it’s just a little ironic that they bash clews because they are backed by influencers, when they are getting that narrative from other influencers. 🤷🏻♂️
Over or under 15 the word "Super"
Over deez🫨
Id never ride a binding with that little dampening to be honest. and dude, at 17:23, every single disk is wiggleing as soon as you lift you hand
To each their own, but it’s really not that bad. And the new version is especially comfortable and I really really like it. It’s a significantly softer material as well as about double the thickness.
They aren’t wiggling, they’re sliding on the table because it’s a super slick finish on that coffee table. That table is about as slick as an air hockey table.🤣
Paid review lol
I'll take the word of the guy who rides 150+ days every year
Negative. I think I made that clear as possible🥶
Who’s that?
If this was a paid review, I would be riding that many days a year🤣
Rigidity, weight?
My bad, I’ve mentioned it in several other videos and just completely forgot to add it in to this one. The bindings themselves weigh 2.4lbs (2.8 with all the hardware) they’re about 2 oz heavier than a standard traditional binding. Then as for rigidity they’re a stiffer binding. Like a 8-9/10 in terms of flex 🙂🤙🏻
So many shills in this comment section! I really dig the idea and the engineering involved in designing these bindings but they are just plain terrible. If they didn’t have the step in/out function they would be really mediocre bindings. They’re like a set of bindings from 15 years ago with the step in function added on top. They need to go back to the drawing board. Don’t get me wrong I love that there are companies out there that are innovating and coming up with some interesting stuff. Clew just seems to be buying reviews and positive opinions through TH-camrs and other snowboarding “influencers”. If the bindings were good in the first place they wouldn’t need to send out every snowboarding TH-camr a free set plus some affiliate link cash…
@@stargazeification because if it’s a good review it has to be a shill right?😂 but have you ever actually ridden a set yourself? There’s so many people riding them now a days and anybody I’ve talked to with a set actually out on the mountain always have nothing but positive things to say about them. Last year every ski resort I went to I ran into at least 1-2 people running them and they were enjoying them just as much as myself
@@stargazeification also having an affiliate link doesn’t mean anything. You can create an affiliate link for literally any product or brand so why would you push a certain one if you didn’t like it? I could create one in 2 seconds for union, nidecker, Burton etc
@ hey I’m not gonna say they’re not enjoyable. You could go snowboarding on the crapiest rental board and still have fun. I got to try them for about 4 days and just found them super clunky and heavy. Not much flex if any and the base being a big chunk of plastic made the board feel super dead. Had some problems with the ratchets too and the straps coming loose, had a screw work loose then lost it. They were however my friends pair so they weren’t brand new which could definitely have something to do with the problems I encountered. Like I think the design is pretty cool and original, but walking around with the high back and having basically a stirrup under foot just felt a bit awkward. QC seems to be a bit lacking too. It seems very coincidental that every TH-camr and influencer has the same thing to say about the clews, that they’re amazing and they’d never go back to standard bindings. You would think there’d be a couple of people saying they weren’t the best or even that they just prefer standard bindings. But everyone who gets an affiliate link and a few sets of these all say they’re amazing. Seems extremely convenient.
I really want to try the supermatics, they seem like a super interesting design too without having something extra strapped to your foot. Be interesting to know if you’ve tried them or the Burton step ons. Problem with the burtons is being limited to only Burton and dc boots. So the fact that the clews and the supermatics let you use any boot is a massive plus.
@@BoardsBikesAndHikes then why don’t you? I’m not intimately familiar with your channel but I’m guessing you don’t have an affiliate link to every product you use/review. Sorry I’m not trying to give you specifically a hard time or anything, it just seems like there’s a series of TH-cam snowboarding channels all pushing clew pretty hard.
@ nah no worries I totally get it and I appreciate you saying that. You get so many people that just jump on the troll bandwagon. They are pushed pretty heavy right now, I get that for sure, but they’ve gained so much popularity in the last 2 years so I think that’s why. I had mine before that big wave started.
I do have affiliate links for most of my gear that I’ll post in my full videos of snowboarding. Anything I actually like/use I have links for. If I don’t like it I won’t make one. I’ve done a few reviews I wasn’t a fan of a product and didn’t make those links.
Riding whistler and the second day the latch on the foot bed blew up and rendered the bindings useless . Clew refunded my money right away .
Absolute crap if you ride hard .
Don’t buy !!!
@@jasonw820 dang that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Whistler of all places that would really suck. Hope you were able to get it sorted and on some new bindings quick where it didn’t mess up your trip. At least you got your money back quick

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s the calm before the storm
You have no idea how bad I wanted to use that picture of me that he had as the thumbnail, but I couldn’t find it anywhere
Fuck angry snowboarder! I believe this guy! Just wondering, burton step on 2025 looks better now. They say even faster in and out and more feeling whit your board because of EST. You gonna try them?
Dude, you’re young and fit and have no reason to use a quick in and out binding!
Unlike this old boy with a bad back.
You’re holding back your progression massively using a compromised product that you don’t need.
Why would anyone use a step in/on bindings unless they really needed it.
I’m happy to loose the 25% control these products take away because I’m On the back 9 after 35 years on a board and it’s the only real way I can get up the mountain and ride.
True. I don’t need them but enjoy them🤷🏻♂️ sorry about your back though.
I even rode these back to back with my buddies jones bindings and I honestly didn’t feel much of a difference in terms of flex/control/dampening. I felt equally as comfortable on both 😁
Regardless glad your still able to get out and rip with these 😁🤙🏻
They suck. You'll never get both clicks in.
I get both clicks everytime and have for 2 years. On powder days I just run the straps. Any other times I click in no problem
Even Jonathan Buckhouse says what I'm about to say below. If you're getting both clicks every time, document that, make an unedited video showing you getting off the lift and getting both clicks in right away. Do that on a normal ski day with just a little bit of snow in the base.
Even the tiniest bit of snow, any kind of snow: slush, fresh snow stuck in the base will prevent the bindings to secure to the base. One click, never 2 clicks.
@@slidehouse5I get fully clicked in every time as long as you just stomp down.
These bindings are garbage
Have you tried them?

Or just real snowboarders who call out a bullshit product

Looks like one found it 😂so it begins
