I've skied mine 30+ days and I had no problems with them. I would be nice if they were a little lighter, but you only really notice the weight when you're carryin the skis.

I like mine, and haven't broken them yet after 25 or more days.
The amount of flex that they allow is very nice, but they are heavy when you have to walk very far with them.

mine were really cool to look at. they were also cool in the 10 seconds they were on snow before they broke, but after that not so much
And get this, on the news the other day they did a big story about old people dropping dead from heat exhaustion. They urged my community to donate fans to keep them alive!!

i like mine a lot! and the warranty is basically..if anything goes wrong youll get it replaced so you dont even need to worry about breaking them

i'll bet most of the poeple who broke theirs set them up themselves and didn't do it quite right

thats exactly what i was getting at. if you break themn 3 times obviously you are doing something wrong, like setting the bindings yourself

i dont want one more thing to worry about when im trying something new on a big jump, as if i dont have enough with worring about getting my 8th concussion. i need all the help i can get, and i ski rossis because i know they wont blow up unless i do something stupid. heck, they felll off the top of a car at 30 mph and were perfectly fine

you guys need to face it, the problem is not the people riding them, the binding is just shitty. i feel sorry for anyone who paid for those things.

The problem isnt the people riding them, alot of the problem is how they are set, alot of the problem is just lack of durability...not to the point of not trusting them on a big landing though, I actualy trust them more than p12s. As for being suckered into buying them, i was starting to believe all the hype about these bindings sucking so i went out and bought some to test them for myself, turns out for me all that hype was bullshit because they are holding up pretty damn good so far. Set them right, blow them up, then bitch about them. Don't bitch about them because someone doesn't like them or because a friend broke them. Try them for yourself, when set properly, for more than 30 seconds (like ive heard some people do, and then come on this board and complain about them) then come and bitch about them with something that makes them seem worse than p12s to me, until then ill continue to ride and trust my reactors.

i havent had any problems with the brakes and the weight isnt a big deal at all. it feels just like any other binding when you ski them but with no swing weight

o jesus christ, just give it up people
if even 20 percent of them break they are faulty. U trust them more than look bindings?? your a fuckin idiot. U can blame it on consumer error all you want, but the fact of the matter is, the durability just isn't their. Just look at them, do they look strong? If you answered yes to the previous question, take your thumb out of your ass and answer again.
Better luck next year line

Well the thing is you (U) are wrong. 20 percent of them dont break. The return on them for warranty was something alot lower, although i forget the exacty percentage, below 5 though. Ive seen looks break, ive seen salomons break, ice seen markers break, ive seen lines break. Yes the durability of the bindind is not quite up to snuff in the big picture, but something else that is included in the big picture is the fact that they can release when other bindings can't. I have yet to hear of someone getting injured because of their lines breaking on them, i could come up with hundreds of names of people who have been injured on other companies bindings.

i've been on mine over 60 days so far this year. powder to ice switching between 4 different skis. no problems, no breakage, definitly scratches but they have held up longer than some of my salomon and look bindings ever did.
Just Huck It.

you got your rossis replaced in 10 days while my friend got his replaced in 2 months, I think it is all subjective. My markers got replaced on wauruntee in 4 days while I've heard other people having big problems, a lot that affects wauruntees is the shop you bought them at. And I hate all these people bashing reactors who havn't tried them.

3ski6guy0 and elgato, have you noticed that youre the only two defending this binding? its pointless
just because you two havegotten lucky with your pairs, does NOT mean its a good binding

what do you mean ive gotten lucky? ive had the same problems as everyone else but im still loyal to reactors.
and what do you mean rossi has the best warranty??? are you serious???? you got your bindings replaced in 10 days..i got my reactors warrantied in 5 minutes, i wonder which warranty is better now.

i have never once popped out when i didnt need to. and im so glad i have reactors. already twice this year i have been in situations when my knee was slowly twisted but i popped out before it got really bad...like when i was skiing trees and my skis got caught between 2 trees. im pretty sure if i didnt have the toe and heel pivot i wouldve been fucked

^markers are almost as bad as lines. i hate markers. i started skiing on them one day, and stopped that same day. i was also demoing, but that was probly the biggest reason why i didnt like the seths.
