Snow buildup has been an issue with step in bindings from the very beginning but a lot of times, you could just slap the tail a couple times and it would clear out. I love the fact you can simply unstrap the ankle strap if it's a pow day. This is the first binding I've ever seen that does that but I've been out of the game for a few years.
Great video! I preordered mine and this video just reassured my purchase 🙌🏽. I liked when you said “When in deep snow simply use it as a normal binding” that was gold. People always complicated that this burning wouldn’t be great in deep snow 😂. This binding is so versatile and get the best of everything. Still uses straps, quick entry, and it can be used as a normal binding. 🔥
Something that wasn’t touched in the video is sometimes when you have the high back on and am walking through the snow there is a possibility that you’ll hit the ratchet and loosen it all the way and it’ll just fall off. The solution for that is if you’re walking back to the lodge or anything more then a few steps away from the slope to just take off the binding like normal ones.
I imagine anything is possible, but the ratchet locks. Also, what would you hit them on exactly? But good advice at the end, that should be the case regardless imo.
I do just normal Riding nothing Freestyly, nothing too hard on the binding. I love the CLEWs. Just two "Downsides": After long days in deep snow I sometimes gather ice under the Highback, that is no problem, but it feels insecure? I exchanged all the Straps to Burton straps as I find them easier to use. I can really highly recommend the clews. It just works and makes the boarder life much more convenient.
I rode the same set of union bindings for the three years I lived in between two skiing resorts and I never had a ladder break on me. I sold the board with the bindings on it to someone I know who was learning to ride but they had to swap out the rear foot binding upper ladder after 3 more weeks using that board. but getting about 250 full days of riding out of a set of bindings without having to change out a single part is pretty damn good if you ask me. but I have a feeling that my next binding will be the Clew and my next board will be the Gnu Riders Choice.
What I don't understand is that they're priced higher than most other top shelf traditional bindings. If you want to gain mainstream traction, price them more competitively.
Buckhouse was indeed rocking these last year on the mountains. So were half of his crew. It’s one thing to be sponsored, it’s another thing to actually use the equipment.
appreciate the review… but if you are like me and live in the mountains, I am picking powder days the most. not being able to fully click in is a deal breaker- i’ll stick to my regular bindings.
my friends bought these bindings this winter and it was 3 week challenge to step into them fully (with 2 clicks), their leg was always going a bit on a side so one side strapped in and another not fully and it wasn't working for them at all. after 3 weeks of trying to get into these bindings they abandoned it, I mean it was taking x3 time or even more for them to step into these, than for us into regular bindings. maybe you could show what is the learning curve on stepping into clew, so people would realize through what challenge they will have to go.
Definitely have to have your feet at the correct angle to match up the connection. If I were you though, I would ask your friend to give you their CLEWs if they don’t like them. Well worth it from my experience.
@@jasonhotchkiss well I tried it as well for 1 day, to be honest they weight like 2 times more than my union atlas, and I still was unable to step into them (with 2 clicks), neither on flat ground near the chairlift, nor on top of the mountain, so I wonder how it's better to learn to step into them...
Honestly, no offense but it sounds like they were idiots lmao, it took legitimately a day before I could step out while coming up to the lift and step back in as I’m coming off without stopping
Basically with step in or step on bindings you should be able to strap in while standing. I personally never had a problem stepping in while standing, but it took me like a few days until I comfortably stepped in while sliding.
I've used K2 Clickers (20yrs), Flows (2 yrs) and the Clews (1yr). I still use Clickers on one board since K2 still makes new boots and heck, it works great on groomers. I tried Flows for a bit but my boots were too wide and didn't easily slide in... I ended up re strapping most of the time so they are not for me. The Clews, so far I am able to snap in without stopping off the lift (on groomers) which is better than the Flows and slightly better than the K2s. Regarding durability, my K2 Clickers never ever broke, they're all metal and will last 20+ years. The Flows I never regularly enjoyed so they are ready for eBay. The Clews, I also had the toe strap crack issue last year, but the free new one has been fine this year. Clews are best all around since you can just old school strap them in the pow. K2 Clickers are hard in deep pow. Flows just suck... So 1 Clew, 2 K2 Clickers, 3 Flow. If Burton could fix the powder issue with their step ins then they could be 1 or 2 but that's tbd...
The one negative I see and that only a few people have talked about is that their current iterations all have a hard plastic bottom so lots of chatter and not friendly to your snowboards top sheet.
I feel like any bindings is to preference of the rider and if youre crusing around just hitting a few jumps here and their you would get the step ons but if youre a pro in the park all the time you shoudl get regular for safety but i feel clew is perfect befuase they have safety of a regular binding and the easyness of the burton step ons im saving up to get one keep grinding i love youte content 🎉
how do you put them on the first time of the day? like "normal": strap in Front and back or do you use the the Clew handle: for example Strap in the back, relase, strap in the front, step in with back foot
I mean, you could do that with Burton step-ons also. One full set of Clews + 2 additional baseplates would run $900 USD. 3 sets of Burton Re:Flex step-ons would run $900 USD.
Take a look at the "Angry Snowboarder" review of the Clews. Seems like he has some valid points. I'm not an expert, have some substantial snowboarding experience though, and to my eyes they seem super cheap.
Very cool technologies but I can strap in without sitting down and then go. What i always wanted was to be able to strap in on the lift which is very difficult to do.
I bought the clew... My only problem is that I find it hard to get to that second click when you go on and I have to jump on the board to get that second click...
Lol broke a strap in less than a year. My 10 year bindings have held together fine. Granted I don’t get to go every single day of the season and don’t hit the parks like he does. Maybe they’re one click too tight
That can happen though. The toe strap of my Union Force bindings (which I find very overrated anyways) ripped after around 25 days (over the span of several years) on the slopes.
Great review on the bindings. Has anyone ever had their high backs stolen when you just fully eject from the bindings and just leave them attached to the board..
Do you take them with you everywhere you go? Can just imagine them being insanely easy to just rob them off your board if you are chilling for lunch lol
@@JohnathanBuckhouse ha yeah I get that but was meaning they’re so easy to just release and walk off with 😂 at least normal bindings are fixed to the board 😆
I personally just enjoy regular bindings too much. I don’t feel a need to have an easy in/out binding because I’ll still never beat a skier to first tracks lol
Your comment at 4:00 is interesting. I'm the opposite and I have never had a ladder break. I've been ridding 4 times a week every season for 20 years. I have had many clips break however, and the occasional strap itself.
Yeah, and the 3rd part of the strap is the ladder. All 3 of those parts take the most wear and tear. I also ride very hard in every month of the year so a ladder failing is bound to happen on every binding.
Like I want the exact set as yours. And I think the burton custom is a EST type binding and do you have to buy something for the CLEW bindings or does it come with EST compatible things?
it comes with discs that support 4x4 2x4 and the channel (what u call ESTt type) only if u have an old 3D burton board u would need to order other discs
You mentioned in the video that clew offers replacement ladders, I looked on their website and I cannot find it, do you have a link for where I can get some? Mine are starting to wear out too.
My toe ladder broke, and I emailed CLEW to ask for a replacement. Within 5 minutes they apologized and sent out replacement straps. They arrived three days later at no cost. It was a much more traditional design, as I think they found out their innovative "channel" like adjustment is really weak.
Can you put them on a scale at home and tell us the weight of these bindings? I wouldn’t want to spend my $ on heavy bindings for the sake of convenience
@@117gilgamesh thanks for the reply. I think these and the Nidecker Supermatics need to evolve a little and figure out the weight problem. Great concept, but as it is with my Flows, weight makes a difference.
I don't think i can tell the difference for 100-200 grams difference in my bindings. For riding a snowboard, just some snow on your snowboard already weighed more than 200 grams.
@@garyfan143 big difference for me between Flow Fuse G-T and Rome Boss 390 in the weight department. Leg fatigue occurs faster when I use my Flows. I think it's the extra weight of all those moving parts.
I emailed them and within 5 minutes they emailed back saying they were sending replacements on their dime. Arrived three days later and working fine. A much more traditional design with screw holes, rather than the "channel" in the middle.
Last week I asked in the comments how the Clew bindings were holding up. I didn't know you'd answer questions with an actual video. Most awesome TH-camr ever ;)
I hope with the 2.0 they will offer maybe a softer binding option? Also I seems like in most reviews people don’t like having to reach around the back for the handle to get out vs reaching forward for the level on the burtons or nidecker supermatics. Is it really that big of a deal or awkward to do? Or is it just a movement people are not accustomed to and just takes time to used to it? I’d love to see a vid over the nidecker supermatics to see what you think compared to the clews.
I don’t own any of them, but I’m really struggling with choice. I think Clew might be better solutions of realising the foot. It’s way easier to reach it. Try it even on your carpet.
I find it almost comical that people give credit to a "reviewer" that has a link to save 10% on the product they are reviewing. What is that I smell? Is it roasted bias?
It’s almost as bad as doing a review, not saying your links are affiliate and never riding the products in your video 😂 I least there is ride footage for you to make your own opinion in this video! Your guys take gear tips from a green run rider lol Why do you think he never shows him snowboarding 🤣😂
Are they really heavier ? Are they making a better version soon ? How are they so damn expensive ? Also - How is the carving or buttering with it ? How does it compare to a traditional biding ? In term of feel ( i know the step in reacts faster) ?
Research I’ve done say they weigh about 2.4lbs while the average union or Rome binding is 2.2 so not much heavier the burton step on are 1.8 but u have a heavier boot
Holy crap you went to the liberty snowplex? That's crazy cause I'm in VA and I've been there a few times cause it's supposed to be the closest simulation of snow out there
Yes, in this video he's using the CLEW bindings on a Burton Custom board with that channel system. CLEW also sells a separate mounting plate for older 3D-mounting system on older boards.
I moved to Clews from Union flights and can still pop/Ollie with plenty of air. My friends Capita/Burton Step-On setup is noticeably easier to pickup and carry around than my GNU/Clew setup though. It might make a small difference for freestyle tricks. Snowboard boots are already pretty heavy to begin with
As a new boarder I really want these bindings but can't afford the $400 price tag :( really hope they find a way to cut the manufacturing costs in the future
Im also new but i will say $400 for bindings isnt that bad. That seems to be the avarage price for most good quality bindings. The reason im not doing the burtonsstep is the bindings are 400 plus 500 boots. These alow u to use any boots
Save up for them if possible or if you have a gig Econ job work more to get them. They are the best bindings I’ve used so far and I’m a new boarder that absolutely hates strapping in with all the bulky jackets and crap.
Practice shifties on flat snow. For a backside boardslide, start with your arms towards your nose and then rotate them to your side so that your torso counter rotates. Getting a snappy shifty will clean up the trick. Leaning down the feature will prevent from edging out.
@JohnathanBuckhouse the only good thing about clew bindings is being able to get them on easier. Everything else is a negative compared to any regular binding.
They sound awesome, but even on preorder when you convert to canadian dollars and put tax over it... It's awefully expensive. Almost worth buing boots+step on bidings.
I'm not TH-camr but I did buy a shitload of specialty bindings. I bought the Clews, Nidecker Supermatics, Burton Step Ons, K2 Clicker X HB and Clicker Step On, and the GNU Psych rear entry bindings. I've road all of them for 2 seasons now including this season and I decided to keep the Clews, Nideckers and Burtons and K2. The GNU was sold to a friend as I did not like reaching behind my to push down on the lever. If it was a pull down lever, I may have kept it. All in all, all these binding work well but for me and my stiff back, I prefer the Clews the most followed by the Nideckers then K2s then Burtons.
You uploaded this video in such a perfect time, thank you🥹 I put this binding on chart for about a month? But not sure whether to checkout or no 😅 do you think is it good for beginners too?
wouldn't recommend, they are to stiff and responsive for beginners, also u need a bit of balance in the board first if u want to be able to step in quick

I agree with your assessment sir! I have had my clew bindings for two years and they have been nothing but amazing! Keep the Clew revolution alive
How often do you ride and where ? Are they still holding up ?

Doesnt snow interfere?
If you place the left high back into the right base plate and vice versa this happens but if you keep them in the right place they stay on your feet.
2 little ropes or cables and problem is solved
I wonder if they will add a locking ratchet with the next generation, kinda like Nidecker’s supermatics
I do just normal Riding nothing Freestyly, nothing too hard on the binding. I love the CLEWs.

Yes dude let’s go! On deep powder days I just run them like normal bindings.
do the burton toe and heel strap just works on Clew as well? like you can just install without making customizations?
@@Fran_ku Yeah. I added some cable binder to adjust the space for the toecap... but yeah I always customize and do things my way. It all works fine.

Yeah welcome to 2024 bro LOL
Just goes to show how much Buckhouse cares about snowboarding lol.

I have a black pair and a white pair. love mix and matching them i.e left white base with black highback and tight black base with white highback

Can you adjust the highback angle pretty far forward? I like a high angle and the adjustment on the Clew highback looks kind of minimal.
what size did you buy? M or L (boot size)
i am looking forward to buying these!
I have size small
The one negative I see and that only a few people have talked about is that their current iterations all have a hard plastic bottom so lots of chatter and not friendly to your snowboards top sheet.
And of course their price.

I'm buying my first pair of new bindings and I think I'm gonna go for standard straps. Some unions. For me, strapping in isn't a big deal
Right. Standard mounts are much lighter.
They are shit, want good advise go to "The Angry Snowboarder".
Why so you can hear an old many talk about gear he has never snowboarded LOL
He just bought a pair and snowboarded on, absolutely tore them to shreds on how shit they are 😂.
Rode for 2 seasons and sold them! They had multiple malfunctions, shitty / cheap hardware, and they are heavy and rough ride.
Can you change the highbacks from left to right side and vice versa to minimize wear and tear?
how are they dealing with snow build up.
yay another keystone vid 👍🏻🏂🏻
🙌🏼
Spot on review! My experience 100%
What's your shoe size and what size binding did you have
How did you choose sz I’m a 11 boot
They have a size chart on the site
Are they a stiff binding, I ride aluminum bindings for stiff quick response, I hate bindings that don’t respond when carving
how do you put them on the first time of the day?
like "normal": strap in Front and back
or do you use the the Clew handle: for example Strap in the back, relase, strap in the front, step in with back foot
I just ordered a pair for son hope he'll like them.
He will love them 🙌🏼
I don't think so :(
are you able to put your foot in while on the lift
Do you find you have to constantly adjust the toe strap? Or does your boot just go in easy once adjusted if the base is clear of snow.
Personally I adjust them a lot but I ride really tight and have to loosen them so I my feet don’t go numb. But that’s ever binding for me

I find it almost comical that people give credit to a "reviewer" that has a link to save 10% on the product they are reviewing. What is that I smell? Is it roasted bias?
It’s almost as bad as doing a review, not saying your links are affiliate and never riding the products in your video 😂 I least there is ride footage for you to make your own opinion in this video! Your guys take gear tips from a green run rider lol Why do you think he never shows him snowboarding 🤣😂
Are they really heavier ? Are they making a better version soon ? How are they so damn expensive ? Also - How is the carving or buttering with it ? How does it compare to a traditional biding ? In term of feel ( i know the step in reacts faster) ?
Research I’ve done say they weigh about 2.4lbs while the average union or Rome binding is 2.2 so not much heavier the burton step on are 1.8 but u have a heavier boot
I’ve worn my burton bindings for 4 years and never have they broke 😂😂😂😂
I am on 3 years with them not breaking. Ladders snapping doesn’t count as a break. Also I ride 160+ days a year.
Holy crap you went to the liberty snowplex? That's crazy cause I'm in VA and I've been there a few times cause it's supposed to be the closest simulation of snow out there
My biggest issue with these bindings is the only reviews I can find about them are from “sponsored “ riders like Juan cabroncasa
Look up the video from Angry Snowboarder, and thank me later 😎
whats the age gap like smallest size?
I’ll stick to my Burton Cartels
To each their own 🤘🏼
Do these bindings work on burton boards?
Yes, in this video he's using the CLEW bindings on a Burton Custom board with that channel system. CLEW also sells a separate mounting plate for older 3D-mounting system on older boards.
As a skier, sometimes you just eject. Get over it if it happens lol
It does happen on skis
I prefer Clew than Burton's
I know these are heavy AF. Have you felt a difference going between traditional bindings and these?
I haven’t. They are on the heavier end of bindings but I transitioned with no problems.
I moved to Clews from Union flights and can still pop/Ollie with plenty of air.
My friends Capita/Burton Step-On setup is noticeably easier to pickup and carry around than my GNU/Clew setup though.
It might make a small difference for freestyle tricks.
Snowboard boots are already pretty heavy to begin with
The fact that you can say that you've been on clews for only a year yet already hundreds of days is crazy
Right 🤣
hundreds of days in a year, impressive!
🙏🏼
"clew does sponsor me"
💯
As a new boarder I really want these bindings but can't afford the $400 price tag :( really hope they find a way to cut the manufacturing costs in the future
Im also new but i will say $400 for bindings isnt that bad. That seems to be the avarage price for most good quality bindings. The reason im not doing the burtonsstep is the bindings are 400 plus 500 boots. These alow u to use any boots
Save up for them if possible or if you have a gig Econ job work more to get them. They are the best bindings I’ve used so far and I’m a new boarder that absolutely hates strapping in with all the bulky jackets and crap.
To be fair they are half the price of the burton step ins
Can somebody tell the best tip for the boardslide? Its scary😀
Practice shifties on flat snow.
For a backside boardslide, start with your arms towards your nose and then rotate them to your side so that your torso counter rotates.
Getting a snappy shifty will clean up the trick.
Leaning down the feature will prevent from edging out.
@@leighcapili6703 appreciate it🙏
ive been using my nitro bindings for 4 years now and not a single thing has broken, ever. Guess im doing something wrong, right? (clew sucks)
How do you put them on a channel snowboard
They have the perfect screw holes. Super easy!
You haven't tried enough bindings if you think clew bindings are good.
What 🙃
@JohnathanBuckhouse the only good thing about clew bindings is being able to get them on easier. Everything else is a negative compared to any regular binding.
Can we see some reviews on the gear like pants jackets and backpacks?
Yes!
I need to get some of those
Yes you do!
Love my CLEW Bindings!
Yes 🙌🏼
They sound awesome, but even on preorder when you convert to canadian dollars and put tax over it... It's awefully expensive. Almost worth buing boots+step on bidings.
Yo john, send me a pair maybe? Thanks dude!
We do giveaways a lot!
Have to get myself a pair, I usually rent but these things are awesome.
They really are 🙌🏼
And they are still sold out
I can’t even pre order bc I move states in September
Clew are the worst bindings. Avoid with your life!!
You haven't road them so you don't know LOL
@@JohnathanBuckhouse I tried them and my foot ejected mid jump 🥲
I smell the cap@@treehugger420
The bindings are total crap. If you didn't get them for free, you wouldn't be saying any of this.
THEY ARE GARBAGE. They aren't quality at all
who in their right mind would purchase these shits... but hey here a 10% code on my affiliate link!
You haven't road them so you don't know LOL
Ok now let's watch an honest review from someone that wasn't paid to say nice things about their product lol
Do it 😂
I'm not TH-camr but I did buy a shitload of specialty bindings. I bought the Clews, Nidecker Supermatics, Burton Step Ons, K2 Clicker X HB and Clicker Step On, and the GNU Psych rear entry bindings. I've road all of them for 2 seasons now including this season and I decided to keep the Clews, Nideckers and Burtons and K2. The GNU was sold to a friend as I did not like reaching behind my to push down on the lever. If it was a pull down lever, I may have kept it. All in all, all these binding work well but for me and my stiff back, I prefer the Clews the most followed by the Nideckers then K2s then Burtons.
This dude is the perfect reviewer because his like 150 days of boarding is like 5 years of riding for a dedicated boarder
You uploaded this video in such a perfect time, thank you🥹 I put this binding on chart for about a month? But not sure whether to checkout or no 😅 do you think is it good for beginners too?
wouldn't recommend, they are to stiff and responsive for beginners, also u need a bit of balance in the board first if u want to be able to step in quick
@@yoerivandervliet2607 thank you for your answer!!! I’m not “beginner” beginner, but I’m tired to strap my bindings on every single ride 🤣🤣🤣
@@kwonji92 yeah than give them a try, I like them really much, wouldn't go back to others
Watch AngrySnowboarder review. :]
