Burton C60 Snowboard Binding - 09/10 - 2009

These bindings kick ass. I like my setup to be stiff and responsive so if your looking for something to lay down butters in these are not your best choice. But if you like the deep stuff and charging steeps, these are what's up. The ratchets are smooth, the padding is cush and they are light light light... best binding I've ever had.

Any body who breaks the high backs on these bindings are complete morons. Humans can not break these binding while "snowboarding" unless in a wreak with a rock or catastrophic manufacture defect (highly rare). A chair lift on the other hand can snap them in two. Carbon Fiber is much stronger than plastic. That is why chairs can break them more easily. Carbon fiber high backs will break before they bend. Plastic highbacks will bend much more if a chair (and 1 or 2 adults) wrenches on it. If you are looking for a stiff responsive binding with no forgivness, look no further. I've brussed my tibia thru my driver Xs once (or twice) because I didnt see a ice chunck while riding at warp speed. I didnt wreck, the iertia traveled right through the binding. Be careful while loading on low chairs and dont step on the straps and these will last for years, even if you ride 70+ days a year. If your not one of the fastest riders on the hill you wont need these!
