25% Fiberglass Highback/Baseplate: The least rigid of Atomic's snowboard bindings, this is a lightweight and easy to use choice for junior or very lightweight riders. Infusing the molded plastic with fiberglass adds strength without adding weight, so even though these are the lightest and most flexy of Atomic's bindings, they are still high quality and durable. Plastic ratchets: Lightweight and pretty strong, these are usually found on the price point bindings and for beginner/junior riders. Adjustable heel cup: The position of the heel cup can be adjusted by loosening or removing the two screws on both sides of the baseplate. Sliding the cup forward will help with the fit of boots on the small size of the range, and sliding it back will fit the larger boots. It also helps position the weight of the rider over the heel edge of the board to get better control when sliding and in heelside turns. 4 Hole Disc: This binding has the standard 4 hole pattern to fit any snowboard, except Burton. EVA Foam Ankle strap: Ethylene vinyl acetate foam on the ankle strap that conforms to the shape of the boot in this critical area. EVA foam is used for its softness and flexibility, but is a tough plastic and is especially tough in low temperatures. EVA Toe strap: Ethylene vinyl acetate on the toe strap that conforms to the shape of the boot in this critical area. EVA is used for its softness and flexibility, but is a tough material and is especially tough in low temperatures. |
