What are the advantages of Flow bindings?
Are you still unsure whether snowboard bindings from Flow are suitable for you? Below we list all the advantages of these snowboard bindings with the well-known rear entry.
- Quick entry with a Flow binding
The most well-known advantage of these popular bindings is that you can easily and quickly step in. Also known as 'Speed Entry bindings'. How does that work? Very simple. The high back of the Flow snowboard binding opens backwards through the snaplock. This creates enough space at the back to slide your snowboard boot into the binding. Never again sitting on your butt to strap your snowboard bindings tight! How nice is that?
- Powerful and comfortable Power Straps
Another advantage is that the Flow bindings fit comfortably. The large wide straps distribute the pressure well over the boot. This minimizes pressure points so that you hardly feel the bindings. You can barely feel the binding around your foot. With most models of Flow bindings, you can choose between two different straps:
Flow Fusion snowboard binding
This is the most traditional strap from Flow. This large and wide strap provides powerful response and directness.
Flow Hybrid snowboard binding
The Hybrid PowerStraps connect the ankle strap with a more conventional toe strap for the perfect mix of control and flexibility.
- Optimal energy transfer through the Power Triangle
Due to the steel cable between the high back and the baseplate, the Flow binding reacts super directly during a backside turn.
The most popular models of Flow bindings
Thanks to the Active Strap Technology, stepping in and out of a Flow binding has never been easier. When the high back opens, the strap moves slightly upwards, creating even more space for entry. For example, the Flow Omni, a good women's snowboard binding, is equipped with such a strap.
Flow NX2 bindings
The Flow NX2 is for every snowboarder looking for a strong, stiff, and direct snowboard binding that provides plenty of support. As the hiback is reinforced with fiberglass and equipped with asymmetrical support panels combined with the 'Active Strap Technology', the bindings are highly adjustable and ensure a super fast entry. If you want even more response, you can also look at the Flow NX2 GT
The latest models of Flow bindings
For the winter of 2021, Flow bindings introduced a whole new line of straps. The Fusion strap and the Hybrid strap have now been transformed into Powerstraps, both made from 3D-molded EVA. A Fusion powerstrap offers a one-piece powerstrap, allowing you to easily step in and out of the binding while maintaining control, grip, and comfort. The Hybrid powerstrap still features the toe strap for those seeking more control.
Flow Snowboards
Maybe you still have one lying around, a snowboard from Flow and after years of loyal service you are looking for a new board from this beautiful brand. Unfortunately, Flow no longer manufactures snowboards, but don't be disheartened, this line has been taken over by Nidecker snowboards. For instance, if you had a Flow Merc and are looking for a new version of it? Then the Nidecker Merc is the successor! The same applies to the snowboard boots from Flow. They are now also called Nidecker but are still made with the traditional Flow fit. For example, you used to have the Flow Helios and now it is the Nidecker Helios. Can't see the forest for the trees and would you like advice on this? We have been working with both snowboard brands for years, and we can tell you exactly which Nidecker board is the best successor to your Flow snowboard.
What are the best Flow bindings?
We often receive the question of what the best snowboard bindings are. A Flow binding or a traditional strap binding? We are very enthusiastic about the brand Flow, but we cannot say they are better or worse than the traditional strap binding. It remains a matter of personal preference. However, we can dismiss the notion that Flow bindings are not stable enough, or that you have play in Flow bindings. What is important when purchasing Flow bindings is that you adjust them well to your boot. Additionally, your snowboard boots must fit well. Experience shows that a large number of snowboarders stand on boots that are too large. They feel comfortable, but when you start snowboarding, you notice that you slide. With a strap binding, you can cheat a bit by tightening the binding too much. You actually do not want that since you will have pressure points in your shoe. When you step into a Flow binding with too large shoes, you will keep sliding in your shoe. When you then tighten the Flow binding too much, you will find it difficult to get in and out. You can adjust everything on the bindings. If you find this difficult, come to our snowboard shop and we will help you with it.
