We’ve unearthed one more reason why snowboarding is the most fashionable winter sport on earth.
Flux Bindings, a.k.a. the hottest thing to come down a mountain since Vesuvius erupted, have just arrived at Royal Board Shop. Until now, Vancouver was the only city in Canada to carry the exclusive brand.
Their famous (and pioneered) Japanese ‘Toe Mask Binding System’ is completely adjustable, and contours to the shape of our boots so we can crank down without cutting off blood flow. Translation: We wiggled our toes even though we were strapped in.
Engineering aside, these super-hot bindings come in pretty colours and patterns. We’re partial to the feminine design of the Rainbow Titans ($289) and the Corey Smith Exp. ($279).
Designed for beginner to expert riders, the bindings lend themselves to a totally smooth ride, with toe and heel cushion pedals for more power and transfer on our turns.
Which pretty much means we’ll be rocking the slopes, and looking great doing so.
