FLOW BINDINGSĪre called Flow bindings because the Flow Company invented them and is as far as we know the only company that makes them. So to stop complaining, the step in binding is great for beginners as they can really step in quickly as they get of the lift and do not wipe out in front of you… if the binding isn’t clogged with snow at the moment, which makes it impossible to step in… great, here we go complaining again. Then there is a psychological issue, with no straps and sometimes even no highback (some step in systems have highback integrated into the boot) your foot looks and feels kind of loose and naked on the snowboard. That kind of limits you boot choice to the boot of the same company that made the bindings and then that’s it.

Oh, did we mention that you need a special snowboard boot for the step in bindings? One that is compatible with the step in system of the selected step in bindings manufacturer. There is special mechanism in the binding that locks the snowboard boot in place. But as HC snowboarders like to say: “I do not need to strap into my bindings any faster than I already do! Hough!” STEP IN SNOWBOARD BINDINGSĪs the name step in bindings tells you, there are no straps to secure, you just step into the binding and ride away. As you will see, the advantage of other two systems is ease of use and faster strap in time. You have a highback at the back of your foot so you can press on the heel edge with more power. The strap-in binding has two or sometimes three straps that secure your boot into the binding.
