Nitro got together with Spark R&D to craft the 2024 Vertical Splitboard Binding. Pulling the best of binding tech from each of their respective crafts, they machined the Vertical for premiere lightweight performance when on the long haul to big backcountry bowls. Its light aluminum design is cut to ensure no strength is lost. The FLAD allows multiple settings for the perfect lean going up or down, and we really like how snugly the Vibram rubber on the toe strap locks us in before descending down dreamy lines. Plus, the padded First Track Ankle Strap with Flex Window technology secures a natural, pressure point-free fit and feel while eliminating the bulky weight of excess materials.
Price: $370.96 from Backcountry
