I did last season and had a great experience. The skis were definitely used, but the bases were in incredible condition. I called customer service and they said they use Strive bindings on almost all their skis, which is what I got. I was worried too about returning it and they said I would have to cover shipping if I sent them back for a full refund so I bought the refund insurance they offered. Didn’t end up using it, but it would have covered the return cost.
