With the NX2-TM Hybrid Snowboard binding, we're able to charge rampantly in and out of carves or off those massive sidehits on our favorite trails. It keeps us locked and secure by the use of expandable straps, a sturdy aluminum chassis, and a glass-filled nylon highback. We really like that when we drop the highback, the ActiveStrap ankle strap moves out of the way for easier entry and comes back down when we pop the highback up again. That gets us to the trail almost as fast as the skiers.
