The little finger side of the foot is high.It has a good response in the nose and tail directions, and has the effect of standing in a natural shape when taking a stance.The knees are easy to get inside, the ankles, knees, and hip joints are easy to bend, and you can take a sufficient posture even in high speed riding.

On the toe side of the foot, the foot moves in the boot as if the toe grabs the ground.At that time, EVA is deployed so that the boots can increase the grip on the footbed.It is a structure that considers performance even in small parts.

The ankle strap maintains a secure hold, and the asymmetrical design and the structure with a space in the center do not interfere with the movement and demonstrate high performance. The SP Bindings ankle strap has a buckle on the inside of the foot.For users who slip while the knee is inside, hold in the required direction, strengthen the response, and have a hold that is unique to SP Bindinsg.

Rider / Atsushi Ishikawa

Atsushi Ishikawa, who likes high-speed, powder jumps, has chosen "SLAB.ONE". "SLAB.ONE" is most suitable for powder jumps over 20m and slips that wind up the spray violently.

For general powder cruising, we recommend the brotherhood and CORE multi-entry models.

How is it different from multi-entry?

The type with a buckle on the toe cup is a multi-entry model.Since it has a buckle, it can be finely adjusted according to the situation.Also, if you get off the powder area or course, you need to urgently remove the binding.In that case, the buckle of the toe cup can be removed and the buckle of the ankle strap can be removed without knocking down the high back, so escape is possible.The buckle of the ankle strap is attached to the little finger side of the foot unlike the normal type.The hold feeling is slightly different depending on the position of the ankle's Evo buckle.The normal type is recommended for users who slip with their knees inside.

If you mainly carve, multi-entry is not recommended.Since the toe cup has a buckle, there is a high possibility that it will come into contact with the snow surface.I want carving users to use the normal type.

Multi-entry is also recommended for indoor and outdoor practice facilities (indoor ski resorts and summer practice facilities that use brushes) and for users who mainly park and jib up.This is because the frequency of putting on and taking off is high, and when removing the binding on the air mat, multi-entry is easier to put on and take off.

A message to users who have used bindings such as BURTON, SALOMON, FLUX, and UNION, which are common 2 straps, for many years. The performance of SP Bindings has a personality that cannot be felt with other bindings.Try SP Bindings once in your snowboarding life.You should get a new feeling that you have never seen before.Inspire your snowboarding life!
