It is best suited for solid intermediate to expert riders. It will handle any terrain and still perform as a Pro binding should.
What the Pro title means to you is improved durability to handle big airs and aggressive riding, lightweight construction, solid feel, and again, durability. In our several years of snowboarding experience, we have found that snowboard bindings are the #1 cause of performance and breakage problems. We are pleased to report this binding, as well as the other Snowjam bindings, are the best we have seen yet, and by a huge margin.
Another of the big complaints of snowboard riders is the problem with the use of the buckles. These are super smooth, can get a snug fit, and pop off with minimal effort. This is the rental version of the binding, what does that mean? That mostly means that is has superior connection screws designed for more wear and tear and adjustment. What, you've never heard of Snowjam (Zuma/Spice/Freesport/Maxx) before? What planet are you from?
Ok, they aren't that popular yet, but Snowjam is on its way to becoming a truly respected force in the snowboard world. We have taken a close look at the quality and performance of all the Snowjam gear, and have been very surprised. For such inexpensive gear, one would expect construction flaws and breakage issues left and right. However, the Snowjam boards, boots, and bindings have been holding up just as good as the most expensive brands out there. In fact, The Snowjam bindings we sell haven't had any breakage issues whereas some name brand bindings (that we no longer sell) have close to a 50% failure rate. In other words, the Snowjam bindings are more durable and reliable than some mainstream brands.
As for the boards, we cut up a very popular board to figure out why everyone needed this brand. As we suspected, there wasn't anything different in the construction process or materials that would make this brand 5 times more expensive than Snowjam boards.
There is a similar pattern with the boots. Many of the Snowjam boots have the same lacing system that top end boots now feature, the Boa Lacing System, but at a fraction of the price. That being said, we are still trying to figure out why people are spending $800 or more for a snowboard setup when a quality Snowjam setup starts around $175, including board, boots, and bindings. Save the extra dough and buy your whole family a new setup, or splurge for the Season Pass at your local resort that you have been dreaming about. |
