Whether you"re looking to order some spare parts, or you just want to talk tech details at your local shop, it"s important to have a good understanding of the names and functions of the various snowboard binding parts. To make your life easier, we sat down with some of Burton"s seasoned binding engineers to build out this comprehensive overview of snowboard binding parts, with clear descriptions of why each part is important.

Snowboard bindings are the crucial link between you and your board, providing the control, response, and feel that allows you to power through turns and stomp landings with ease. But binding technology has evolved significantly since the 1980s - in fact, early snowboards (like the Burton Backhill) didn"t even really have bindings at all. It"s wild to think about: even as a skilled rider, falling meant that your snowboard could get away and finish the run without you. The good news is that this is no longer the case and modern snowboard bindings are engineered to keep your feet firmly attached to your board.

Burton snowboard bindings are made from a variety of materials, all of which deliver varying degrees of flex, weight, and performance, allowing every rider to find the perfect binding for their needs.

Short-glass/nylon composite: Short-glass/nylon composite binding parts deliver a spectrum of "response/personality" as we refer to it at Burton. We describe our bindings by their short-glass percentage (for example, 30%). If this sounds confusing, don"t worry. All you need to know is that just like Goldilocks, we"ve got a blend that"s juuuust right for you.

Aluminum: Aluminum binding parts have minimal flex with lightweight, durable construction, that"s ideal for finding your perfect line in the backcountry.

Injection-molded foam: Injection-molded foam binding parts provide reliable cushioning under your boots to maintain comfort and traction, even in wet, freezing conditions.

Carbon fiber: Carbon fiber hibacks, which can be found on Burton X EST snowboard bindings, provide the ultimate combination of control and strength in a feather-weight package.

Note: Burton Re:flex bindings are compatible with a variety of different brands of snowboards, but Burton EST bindings are only compatible with Burton snowboards featuring The Channel™ mounting system.

The baseplate and heelcup of a snowboard binding are often talked about together as one component, but if we"re being extremely technical (which we are, because we"re working with binding engineers here) these parts each perform different functions. Additionally, the footbed is a critical part of the baseplate.

Footbed/EST Bed: The binding footbed (or EST Bed on Burton EST bindings) is the cushioned portion of the binding that sits between the baseplate and the bottom of the boot. The footbed can be flat or feature a slight rise from heel to toe, providing additional support and response.

The snowboard binding hiback is the vertically oriented plastic, carbon fiber, or composite part of the binding that supports the back of the rider"s leg (calf). Hibacks come in different shapes and sizes and sometimes include special features (like the wings on the Burton Mission GTs) that allow riders to choose the level of support that fits their riding style.

The hiback connects to the baseplate/heelcup via hiback mounting hardware. In some bindings, the forward lean (the angle from perfectly vertical) of the hiback can be adjusted; this feature is called the FLAD (forward lean adjuster) on Burton snowboard bindings.

Note that many snowboard binding manufacturers use the term "highback", but at Burton, we call them “hibacks” due to proprietary materials and designs.

A snowboard binding typically has at least two straps: one that tightens across the toes and one that tightens across the ankle. These straps connect to the heelcup/baseplate on each side of the foot. Snowboard binding straps are usually made from plastic and are designed to be both flexible and durable. A complete binding strap is comprised of a few different parts, including the tongue, slider, buckle, and strap.

Burton Step On® bindings are the result of an ongoing quest to evolve snowboarding. The Step On system allows riders to drop into their next run hands-free, making the sport even more accessible and maintaining the high performance that people expect from Burton.

Because there are no straps, some binding parts of Step On bindings are different from traditional bindings. Step On utilizes spring-loaded toe and heel mechanisms that operate similarly to a modern ski binding. They clamp down on the corresponding heel and toe cleats found on Step On snowboard boots.

Note: We"ve tested the Step On system extensively and consider it bomb-proof. But in the event that replacement parts are needed, you may have to send your Step On bindings in for repairs. Check out the Burton warranty to see what is covered.

Whether you"re just getting started teaching kids to snowboard or your kiddos are already sending it harder than you in the park, it"s important to understand how kids" binding parts are different from adult binding parts. In general, kids’ snowboard bindings (like the Burton Grom Disc Binding) are simplified versions of classic adult bindings, with key features designed just for little hands.

If you"ve experienced the freedom of the backcountry on a splitboard, then you no doubt already understand why splitboard bindings are unique. The bottom line is that splitboard bindings are designed to operate in two modes: walk mode (for touring uphill) and ride mode (for downhill travel). And this dual-mode nature of splitboarding calls for some specialized splitboard binding parts.

As an example, Burton Hitchhiker splitboard bindings utilize Spark R&D"s Tesla T1 system baseplates, which feature a lightweight design that is specifically shaped to integrate with puck mounting systems. All Burton splitboards include mounting pucks for this purpose. Other unique splitboard binding parts include touring brackets, climbing bars, and crampons.

Pro tip: Setting up splitboard bindings requires a mounting system. Burton splitboards include mounting pucks that are compatible with the Hitchhiker binding. Binding mounting systems for other brands of splitboards are sometimes sold separately from the board and may include: pucks, touring brackets, heel rests, and climbing bars. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer to find out which binding parts are included with your board or bindings.

Obviously, there"s a lot of different things to remember when it comes to snowboard binding parts. But at the end of the day, all that matters is that you have as much fun as possible. So, if you want to learn all the details and geek out on the specs, you do you; if you never learn a single name of a binding part and still stack 100+ days a season, just remember the Burton Guides are there to help you get spare parts if you need them.
