Buy Snowboard bindings

We have a large 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 still not sure which bindings are best for you and your snowboard? Then read on.

The right size of snowboard bindings

Snowboard bindings that are too big will cause you to slide and you won't have good control over your snowboard. In too small bindings, your boot won't fit properly, so you won't be able to close the binding properly. Every brand has separate women's and men's snowboard bindings. The sizes run differently here so pay attention. But what is the right size? Every brand of snowboard binding has a different size chart. Take a look at the size chart in our webshop.

Strap or Flow bindings?

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

Strap bindings

Strap bindings are the most common and widely used snowboard bindings. These bindings have two straps. An ankle strap and a cap strap. The latter pulls over the nose of your snowboard boot. The advantage of strap bindings is that you can adjust them very precisely with the two straps by means of the two ratchets, also called ratchets. A slight disadvantage is that some boarders among us have to sit down to fasten the bindings. This takes a lot of strength to get back up every time. In our collection, we have strap snowboard bindings from SP, Clew, Rome, Union, Arbor, Burton, Jones, Drake, Union, Nidecker, NOW and Bent Metal bonds

Flow bindings

Very popular are Flow bindings. With these snowboard bindings, you fold back the highback (the rear cap of your binding) so you can easily and quickly step into the binding with your snowboard boot. It is often said that Flow bindings do not provide enough support, but of course this is not true. It is very important that you adjust your snowboard binding correctly to your boots. The big advantage of Flow bindings is that you can step in easily and quickly without having to sit on the ground.

Ordering snowboard bindings? What to look out for.

When buying snowboard bindings, there are several important factors to consider in order to make the best choice. First of all, it is essential to make sure that the bindings fit well with your snowboard boots and the size of your snowboard. Check that the bindings are compatible with the snowboard by looking at the mounting plates. It is also important to pay attention to the type of bindings you need, such as traditional strap-in bindings or quick-entry systems such as step-in or rear-entry bindings.
The flex level of the bindings is also crucial, as it affects responsiveness and comfort while snowboarding. For beginners, bindings with a softer flex are often more appropriate, 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 offer added convenience and support. Finally, don't forget to also look at value for money and any additional features, such as adjustable hi-backs and cushioning 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 at the desired value for money and additional features. By considering these aspects, you can find the ideal bindings for a great snowboarding experience.

Snowboard bindings adjustment and mounting

We regularly get questions about how to best mount snowboard bindings on a snowboard. We wrote a blog about that, where we describe everything in detail. Before you start mounting, there are a number of things you should consider beforehand. Think about: Do you stand left front or right front. Or in snowboard language, 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 put the binding on the board?" We answer all these questions in the blog on How to mount bindings on your snowboard?

Mounting snowboard bindings on your snowboard

We regularly get questions in the store about how to mount your snowboard binding on your board. In itself, it's not high math, although there are some important things to pay attention to.

How do you determine the distance between the snowboard bindings?

How far apart do you place the snowboard bindings? Good question! A "reference stance" is indicated on every board. That's great, but not everyone has the same anatomy. You can find out the correct distance by measuring the distance from the middle of your kneecap straight down to the ground. This length is the minimum distance between the two bindings. If you have a freestyle snowboard, add about 4 cm. If you are more of an all-mountain snowboarder, add about 2 cm.

What is the angle of the bindings?

The angle at which you screw your snowboard binding onto the board is a personal preference. Do you want to ride playfully and do you switch regularly? Then we recommend setting the bindings at +15 and -15. This stance is also called Duck. You can guess where the name comes from.

What is setback?

You may have heard the term setback before. But what exactly does setback mean? A snowboard has multiple inserts / screw holes. These inserts allow you to place your bindings more forward or backward. Especially for riders with a freestyle or park snowboard, this is very interesting. When you place your bindings more to the back, you create a short tail and a longer tip. The tail will sink into the powder, raising the tip. This makes it take less power to surf your snowboard. Be sure to place both the rear and front snowboard bindings backwards so that the distance between them remains the same.

Centering the snowboard binding

When you screw the snowboard binding onto your snowboard, it is important that you center the binding. At all times, you want to prevent your heels or toes from sticking out too far over the snowboard. Almost all discs, with which you screw the bindings or the snowboard, have several adjustment options. Mount the binding so that your toes and heels protrude equally far over the edge of the snowboard on both sides. This allows better pressure on the steel side so you have more grip and your toes and heels won't bite into the snow.

What does 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 different riding styles and experience 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 stiffer construction provides direct power transfer from the rider to the snowboard, resulting in precise turns and a stable feel on rough terrain.
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 when performing tricks and jumps.
It is essential to match the flex of the bindings to your riding style and skill level. Too stiff a binding for a beginner can make learning difficult, while too soft a binding for an advanced rider may not offer enough response. Finding the right flex is a balance between control and comfort, allowing you to get the most out of your snowboarding experience.
