Although it is not a product that has been decided to be sold in Japan yet, such an interesting item has appeared at the world's largest sports trade fair "ISPO" held in Munich, Germany, and it is epoch-making among new products gathered from all over the world. It is said that he received the ISPO Award, which is given to various things.
As you can see, the step-in binding.Align your toes with the toe straps and step on the heel side to complete the set.I see, but this step-in, what is said to be very innovative is not to choose boots.A general step-in system is developed by combining the binding and the boot, and the parts to be fixed to the binding are also embedded on the boot side.In other words, you have to use boots that match the binding, and even if you have your favorite boots, you have to change to a new one, and the weight is attached to the interface parts that work with the binding. Or a special shape.Also, because new boots are needed, the user's purchase budget will be reasonably high with binding + boots.
However, this step-in does not use special boots.Anything is fine.The step-in binding is divided into two parts, the base part and the ankle strap + high back part, and you can fix the ankle strap + high back parts so that you can put them on your boots.Even though it is fixed, fixing is completed by tightening only the ankle strap like when attaching a binding normally.
Pull up on the red lever on the top of the highback to smoothly unlock your heels and remove your foot from the binding.
When you put it on, put your toes together and step on your heels to snap it into the base.Moreover, since it is a three-stage locking mechanism, it is easy to get hooked, and if you are hooked even one step, it will be completely locked as it is during gliding.There is a system that is difficult to put on and take off if you can't master a little trick, but this system is very easy, fast, and reliable.
Moreover, it is easy to release in deep powder.Surprisingly, this is an important place, and it's a deep powder that you can't step on, so you won't get rushed because the step-in doesn't come off easily.You should pull the lever and it will come off immediately.It's still in the first model stage, so it's a little stiff, but you can fully enjoy this performance in the powder, carving, and free riding scenes.
By the way, it is said that this product was invented by a German university student.It's a gear that was born from the start from the user's point of view, a little "I wish this was the case".
With that in mind, I think there are still many scenes around you that make you think "I wish my gear was like this" on this snowboard.
I'm a little worried about the CLEW binding of this new system and how it will go in the future.I'm looking forward to the evolution of snowboarding!
