Do you want a new pair of bindings? Do you not know what to buy? Well, you came to the right(ish) place, because I (kind of) know about it! Without further delay here are three tips about what bindings to buy!

1. Stiffness

When buying bindings, you must make sure that they are not to flimsy for your board. For example, if your board is 175+mm wide, flexible bindings will make the board feel sluggish with poor edge control. Here is a great video.

2. Straps

bindings have all sorts of straps, and these can make a large impact on your riding experience massively. First, it is best to have a toe cup. A toe cup is a type of strap that rests on the front/top of your boot, rather than just the top. 

For example, in this picture, the toe strap cups the toe,

 

 

 

 

 

and in this picture, the strap goes on top of the toe

 

 

 

Toe cups are great because they hold your foot in much tighter and in turn make the binding stiffer.

3. Locking method

different bindings have different ways of locking your boot in, and some are better for some things than others. For example, Burton step-ins are great for almost everything, but aren’t as robust in deep snow (and cost a fortune). In-depth binding guide here.

thats all for today, but here are some credible websites if you need more information.
