Flow FL 5

Strengths:
The benefits of this bond are that it is fast and put on the board. But simple to me, it's probably the one.

Weaknesses:
The weaknesses are that the tie became so soft after two years so that the foot began to flicker. and another weakness was that it did not fit well in the holes so that the binding was flipping on the board. Tested with threadlock and such but it did not help the tie did not set properly at all.

Summary:
In the beginning, I was very pleased with the tie but after a while I was unhappy after two seasons. But I give the tie a three.

Run loctite on the screws that are in the graduation plate, then on the buckles! It's a must if you do not want to buy new dumps in the quarter. Nice bonding, I had difficulty getting used to them. But now they are like the hand in the glove! Do not expect the plastic that is over the wire to hold.
Once when I went in a puddernut, the binding loosened, it became onefoot straight into the nearest grain.
That's when I was above and did not want them to sit so hard, but mistakes are learned? : D
Run them for 2 years now, they look like new, besides the plastic over the wire. That's good quality, I think so.
If you want to lose the buckle that goes off, buckles that do not hold the cold or put down on the ass every time and buckle on - BUY FLOW!
But it is freeride binding, clearly. According to me.

Grammed good response when you swing but although I have boots that are custom-made for flow bindings, they make grim pain. Always get sick in the feet on the 2nd day when there are "metal grips" in the brackets in 4 places above the foot, these shoulders. Maybe I'm awake :)

Very nice bindings! Have been driving with them for two years now and there has never been any hassle ... You do not have to squeeze the binders for several minutes like others, just plug in the foot and pull up the buckle .... simply the cannon! buy them!

A good and stable bond. Quick to step in / out. Have lost 1 nut in 8 weeks. Loctite is the one that applies when tightening the bonds on the board. Is mostly on the cutting itself, so I can not comment on the characteristics of jumper. It may be good to be aware that the joints can open if you can extend further stretches with your head downwards;)

It's really nice if you combine them with flow shoes, but the fault I've found is that the tin can tear the buckle up and tear up a bit. By the way, their way of wire that stretches goes to the toe makes you pull up your toes a bit as you walk on a heel cut so that all the power is not just pushing the "heel" backwards.

The definitely the best tie I ever went on!
Works in good harmony with my K2 board. Recommend Flow 5 strongly!

I'm burning for Flow 5. It's the best bond I've ever gone. Completely different feel a pump bindings. Very affordable. Very clear top.

A very fat bond and it also suits better skiers

Has now been with this bond for almost a year. It will be about three weeks extreme and entertaining rides. Everything worked perfectly, no broken parts as far as the eye could see. There is only one thing that is not the way it should be. The screws that hold the tie released a little on their grip so that they had to stay for a few minutes and screw them back. This obviously stems from the valuable rally. If this was due to the binding or on my board (Duotone F1) I do not know. FL 5 is all model 2000 and it is different from the predecessor almost entirely made of plastic. This change meant that sustainability increased significantly. Flow binding is a "semi-step-in bond". The back cover can easily be folded out and makes the binding really easy and smooth to step in and out. FL 5 and FL 11 (2000) were almost identical, the only difference was (as I saw it) the color and the price. When FL 11 was a few hundred times more expensive, I chose FL 5.
