Buy Snowboard bindings

Do you already have a snowboard and are you looking for good snowboard bindings to mount on your board? You have come to the right place. We have a wide collection of snowboard bindings in our webshop and in our showroom in Nijverdal. Do you already know what the best snowboard bindings are for you? Then look further. Are you not quite sure which set of bindings fits you and your snowboard? Read on calmly.

The right size of snowboard bindings

With bindings that are too large, you will slide and have no good control over your snowboard. With a binding that is too small, your shoe will obviously not fit well, so you cannot properly close the binding. Each brand has separate women's and men's snowboard bindings. The sizing varies, so pay attention. But what is the right size? Each brand of snowboard binding has a different sizing. Make sure to check the size chart we have added for each snowboard binding in the webshop.

If you have doubts about the size of a snowboard binding, don't hesitate to contact us. Do you already have snowboard boots and want to buy snowboard bindings in our store? Then bring your boots with you. We can then immediately adjust the bindings to your snowboard shoe.

Strap or Flow bindings?

There are two different types of snowboard bindings. Traditional strap bindings and Flow bindings

Strap bindings

The strap bindings are the most common and widely used snowboard bindings. These bindings have two straps: an ankle and a cap strap. The latter you pull over the toe of your snowboard boot. The advantage of strap bindings is that you can adjust them very precisely with the two straps using the two ratchets, also known as ratchets. A small disadvantage is that some boarders among us have to sit down to fasten the bindings. This requires a lot of strength to get back up each time. In our collection, we have strap snowboard bindings from SP, Clew, Rome, Union, Arbor, Burton, Jones, Drake, Union, Nidecker, NOW and Bent Metal bindings

Flow bindings

Very popular are Flow bindings. With these snowboard bindings, you flip the highback (the rear cap of your binding) back so you can easily and quickly step in with your snowboard boot. It is often said that Flow bindings provide insufficient support, but that is not the case. It is crucial to adjust the snowboard binding properly to your boots. The big advantage of Flow bindings is that you can easily and quickly step in without having to sit on the ground.

Ordering Snowboard bindings? What to look for?

When buying snowboard bindings, there are several important factors to consider to make the best choice. First and foremost, it is essential to ensure that the bindings fit well with your snowboard boots and the size of your snowboard. Check whether the bindings are compatible with the snowboard by looking at the mounting plates. Furthermore, it is important to pay attention to the type of bindings you need, such as traditional strap-in bindings or quick entry systems like step-in or rear-entry bindings.
The flex level of the bindings is also crucial, as it affects the responsiveness and comfort while snowboarding. For beginners, bindings with a softer flex are often more suitable, while advanced riders may prefer stiffer bindings for more control at high speeds.
Another consideration is the type of straps and closure systems. Some bindings have traditional ankle and toe cap straps, while others feature special systems that provide extra convenience and support. Finally, don’t forget to consider the price-quality ratio and any extra features like adjustable hi-backs and damping technologies.
In short, when buying snowboard bindings, it is important to check the right size and compatibility with your snowboard, determine the flex level and type of straps, and look for the desired price-quality ratio and extra features. By taking these aspects into account, you can find the ideal bindings for a great snowboarding experience.

Adjusting and mounting Snowboard bindings

We often get asked how to best mount snowboard bindings on a snowboard. We have written a blog about that where we describe everything in detail. Before you start mounting, there are some things you should consider beforehand. For example: Are you left-footed or right-footed? Or in snowboarding terms, goofy or regular? What is your riding style and how far apart do you set the bindings? The most frequently asked question is "at what angle do you mount the bindings on the board?" We answer all these questions in the blog about How to mount bindings on your snowboard?

Mounting Snowboard bindings on your snowboard

We regularly get asked in the store how to screw the snowboard binding onto the snowboard. It’s not rocket science, but there are a few important things to pay close attention to.

How to determine the distance between the snowboard bindings

How far apart should you place the snowboard bindings? Good question! Each board has a “reference Stance” indicated. That’s great, but not everyone has the same anatomy, of course. You can find the correct distance by measuring the distance from the center of your kneecap straight down to the ground. This length is the minimum distance between both bindings. Do you have a freestyle snowboard? Then add about 4 cm. If you're more of an all-mountain snowboarder, then about 2 cm.

At what angle do you set the snowboard bindings?

The angle at which you screw the snowboard bindings onto the board is a personal preference. If you want to ride playfully and often ride switch, we recommend setting the bindings at +15 and -15. This Stance is also known as Duck. You can guess where the name comes from.

What is setback?

You might have heard the term setback before. But what does setback actually mean? A snowboard has multiple inserts/screw holes. These inserts allow you to position your bindings further forward or backward. This is especially interesting for riders with a freestyle snowboard or park snowboard. When you place the bindings further back, a short tail and a longer tip are created. The tail will sink in powder, raising the tip. This makes it easier to surf your snowboard. Just be careful to place both the rear and front snowboard bindings back so that the distance between both bindings remains equal.

Centering the snowboard binding

When you screw the snowboard binding onto your snowboard, it is important to center the binding. You want to prevent your heels or toes from protruding too far over the edge of the snowboard. Almost all discs, with which you screw the bindings onto the snowboard, have multiple adjustment options. Mount the binding so that your toes and heels extend equally far over the edge of the snowboard on both sides. This allows you to apply better pressure on the steel edge for more grip, and your toes and heels won't dig into the snow.

What does the flex say about a snowboard binding?

The flex of a snowboard binding refers to the degree of stiffness or softness of the material in the binding. It has a significant impact on performance and comfort while snowboarding. Bindings with different flex levels are suitable for various riding styles and skill levels.
Bindings with a stiffer flex offer more responsiveness and control, making them ideal for advanced snowboarders who enjoy high speeds, aggressive carving, and technical descents. The sturdier construction allows for direct power transfer from the rider to the snowboard, resulting in precise turns and a stable feeling on rough terrains.
On the other hand, bindings with a softer flex are more forgiving and comfortable, making them ideal for beginners and freestyle riders. A softer binding makes it easier to make turns, requires less effort, and offers more playfulness in the snowpark. This gives the rider a sense of freedom and helps in performing tricks and jumps.
It is essential to match the flex of the bindings to your riding style and skill level. A binding that is too stiff for a beginner can make learning difficult, while a binding that is too soft for an advanced rider may not provide enough responsiveness. Finding the right flex is a balance between control and comfort, allowing you to get the most out of your snowboarding experience.
