Air Flow Highback + Dual Ride-Stride

Dupont Zytel is a high-performance nylon plastic known for its exceptional strength, durability, and lightweight properties. In snowboard gear, particularly in highbacks, it provides the necessary support and responsiveness while remaining flexible. This means your gear can withstand harsh conditions without adding extra weight, enhancing your overall riding experience.

The highback is a crucial component of your snowboard binding that supports your calf and helps transfer energy from your legs to the board. A well-designed highback improves control and responsiveness, allowing for better maneuverability on the slopes. Lightweight highbacks, in particular, enhance comfort and performance, especially during long rides or backcountry tours.

Forward lean adjustment allows you to change the angle of the highback relative to your snowboard. This adjustment affects weight distribution and can enhance your control. A more aggressive forward lean is beneficial for dynamic riding, while a more upright position offers comfort for casual rides or touring. This feature helps you customize your setup to match your riding style.

The Dual Ride Stride feature provides two different settings for forward lean on the highback. This design is particularly useful for backcountry touring, as it allows for a more natural and efficient stride. By enabling longer strides and easier gliding, this feature helps reduce fatigue, making your uphill climbs more manageable and enjoyable.

"Cored-out" refers to a design technique where material is strategically removed from the highback to reduce weight while maintaining strength and flexibility. This lightweight design is especially advantageous for backcountry snowboarding, where minimizing weight can significantly enhance your performance and endurance on the slopes.

Features like Dupont Zytel construction, lightweight highbacks, forward lean adjustment, Dual Ride Stride, and cored-out designs all work together to enhance your backcountry experience. They provide the necessary support, control, and comfort, allowing you to navigate challenging terrains with ease and confidence, ultimately making your snowboarding adventures more enjoyable.
