Switchback Bindings

Avatar

Any peeps have/used/demo’d any of the Switchback bindings?
More specifically the Halldor model.

Doing some research for next seasons gear, board is pretty much sorted. Just need bindings, boots and goggles/maybe a jacket and i am golden!

I personally haven’t. But I’ve heard mixed things. So I’m being no help at all LOL

But when I hear things like this it means one definite thing to me. DEMO FIRST.

Almost every time I have bought something that people argue over, I end up wishing I didn’t buy it. If you get the chance, rock your old bindings until you get to demo them and then decide for your self. It’s the best way unless everyone is agreed that they are amazing.

I have one friend who said they made his board feel lifeless and almost unusable. But some people like them. So I’m guessing they work well with a certain type of board.

Not much use here either, but I’ve read a lot about people that like the comfort and hold of the straps!!!!!

The first NOW Binders had terrible straps, so there was a lot that swapped body parts and used Switchbacks as a source!!!!!

As for the rest of the binding?????

The last time I looked they didn’t have forward lean adjustment. Deal breaker for me.
