Snowboardbindung

The CLEW founders describe their motivation to develop a new type of step-in binding as follows: "Buckle on and out 40 times a day? Two times should be enough [...] We wanted to save ourselves the trouble of buckling and unbuckling after every lift ride, while still not giving up the unsurpassed riding experience of a buckle bindings. Until then, there was no snowboard step-in binding on the market that satisfied us". We have tested for you how close they've reached to their goal.

After some manufacturers launched the big "powder shape competition" last year, this trend is now entering its second season. In addition to well-known concepts (swallowtail), the trend among many manufacturers is towards short but wide boards, as K2 demonstrated last year.
