A FKS series for the masses with a 90mm brake
Pros: Lighter than it's big brother the FKS180
Cons: Still a bit more $$ than other 14 DIN bindings, but worth it.

“ After buying a new pair of earphones to listen to my favorite tunes while skiing, running, working out or just chilling, I was disappointed. These new earbuds, that came with 3 different sizes of replaceable silicon ear canal ......had an issue. I am not sure if the composition of the materials had changed or if my ear canals had changed since my last purchase. While doing almost anything but...” --JHoback
“ Included:Hard CaseMicrofiber bagI/O FrameSensor Lens (70%)Ignitor Lens (35%)Suggested Retail: $160.00Over the past 10 years I have had many of goggles such as Spy, Marker, and Zeal. In that time I was never blown away by any of them, some didn’t fit the helmet well, some were too dark and some didn’t do what I expected them to do what they advertised. Smith is a brand that I have seen around...” --Philpug
“ I'm a ski instructor who doesn't use the locker room. I change into my boots from the car. The most important accessory that I have had for the last 7 years in all my ski equipment is the Hot Gear Bag. Here's why. The bag is heated both by plugging into my car or my outlet at home. The bag dries the boots out overnight. And the gloves. And the goggles. ...” --weems
“I am an expert skier and have skied the past 19 of my 33 ski days so far this 2008/9 season on Kneebindings in NH (mostly WV). I have had NO pre-releases skiing all terrain in all conditions at normal DIN settings. I did have one bad collision on steep terrain (hit from behind) in which I was very briefly knocked unconscious, and both of my skis released properly and the brakes worked very well...” --CHRISfromRI
“ I spied this beauty in a shop last year and had to have one. I'm now into my second season with the Variant and am very pleased. The cosmetics are killer, the feature list long and the fit outstanding. Although I didn't notice this last year, RDB33 is right about the adjusters snagging jackets. I found to have this problem only when the helmet wasn't cinched down tightly though. I...” --GearGuide
“These poles made a big difference for me as they don't drag in the wind, which helps the swing of the pole. The carbon poles don't bend and give more shock relief for the wrist and elbow. Pole comes with removeable straps, powder and racing baskets and length can be adjusted by unlocking the grip and twisting. The straps will release if caught on a lift, tree or fence, or if you need to...” --Cirquerider
“I got a big head, about 24 inches a round. these fit my head, and that is all I needed. I used ebay to get them that cheap. Rock on you fat headed fools. had fog for maybe 30 seconds total in course of 3 days.” --wallawalla
“ This helmet is awesome, I'm not sure what else I can say The vent system is well thought out and the levers allow some to be open while others are closed. With the vents closed and ear flaps on, the helmet is warm enough on the super cold days, yet hasn't overheated me on the day it was 45+. I also enjoy the elastic goggle clip over the older snap on ones, although I do see...” --Bielz
“ I've used these for a week now and have no qualms. I'm a firm believer in smith's spherical lenses after using these. The spherical lens get rid of any distortion you may notice in cheaper goggles, and the sensor mirror lens provides plenty of light for the low light days. They fit seemlessly with my smith helmet, like you would expect, and the strap stays secure. Not sure the little fog ...” --Bielz
“ Fantastic helmet. Very lightweight, extremely comfortable and adjustable to fit just about any melon out there, fully adjustable venting, and very stylish. You won't look like a bowling ball in this thing! One nice subtle, but important, thing is there is little wind noise into the earflaps when moving at higher speeds on the slopes. Some helmets are brutal with wind...” --Gunnerbob
