Approach bindings
I have been thinking of triing the HO approach binding because of the forward tilt they are designed to have. I have also heard that people aren't coming completely out of the binding when they fall and getting ankle injuries. My questions are, is the approach worth the forward tilt design? and could you used the Goode interloc system with the approach bindings to prevent the ankle injury?

Re: Approach bindings
My experience with the Approach binding was short lived! I liked the support, but the release was less than stellar! I had the front foot release on me twice leaving my rear foot in. That was the last I time I used them! I do know several people that swear by them though.

Re: Approach bindings
I just got rid of my approachs and went to the RS-1. The Approach had good support and the forward lean took some getting used to, but they are very narrow at the forefoot. i have a wide foot and I could only get through maybe 3 passes before the pain was too much to take. I never came out of my Approaches on a fall.

Re: Approach bindings
There have been several threads on Approach bindings on this site over the past 12-months. Not sure if you have searched for them yet, but if you are considering purchasing them, I'd recommend reading up on all of those posts.
For myself, I used the Approaches for one year. My experience is similar to the previous two comments. I converted to the RS-1's and have been happy. If you are looking for a recommendation, I'd recommend looking at the various hardshell options.
