System MTN Men's Rear Entry Step in Style Snowboard Bindings

2022 UPDATE TO BELOW: So I'm heading out to my third year with these next week. Have learned a lot. I now use my regular Burton binding for my front foot, which stays locked in. It has a higher back, and the back is canted towards the middle more in line with my front leg. (That said, the System on both would be just fine, too.) I use the System for my back foot. As noted below in 2019, I was struggling a bit with my heel catching on the binding back. I ground off the ridges on my boot heel, and ground a bit of the binding back-bottom arc opening to create more space. It still rubs, but moves in and out readily now--especially when it's cold and wet with show. Finally, I found some plastic shim sheets at True Value Hardware, I got some slightly longer bolts, applied bolt lock to them, and mounted both bindings with a 3 degree inward slant--like the expensive bindings these days have built into the footpad. It's hardly noticeable, as if looks mattered, and gets the bindings more in line with your legs. Bottom line, this makes a sweet, no-sit to strap, easy to use setup. Plus, the System is great on the lift. You can put your foot in instead of having the board hang twisting your ankle or sit on top of your boot with the edge fraying the laces. You're also more stable coming off the lift if you want to keep your foot in, even if the heel backing isn't up. ORIGINAL 2019 REVIEW: I've been riding a Switch setup for decades, and the old gear finally disintegrated. I had a pair of Flows, and didn't like them. Too hard to get into, and not tight enough. I tried the new Burton Step-On solution in a store, but I though they were hard to get into and out of. Plus, $700 seemed a bit extreme ... if you could even get your hands on them. I absolutely hated going back to strap-in after all these years. I usually boot up standing up, and it's still a pain. I ran across these, and gave them a try. These are super-clever in design. Set them up once, and forget it. The best feature is that when you lower the back, the ankle strap automatically loosens. This makes it easy to get into/out of. When you're back in, you just raise the heel lever, then click down the ankle lever. (You need to do it in that order.) It takes seconds. And you can do it standing up, no problem, without having to fight getting all the straps out of the way and inserted and ratcheted like with regular bindings. The plates have a ton of holes. They fit both my boards, and give you a lot of plate positioning options. The bindings seem well-made. They're light (31 oz), especially paired with my new-style boots. (The Switches were like walking around with lead weights on your legs.) Some things to consider: I have XL bindings with size 13 DC Scout Boa boots and size 12 Burton SLXs. As other reviewers have mentioned, my 13s catch a bit on the heel arc opening. The Burton soles are more angled front and back, and they go in/out just fine. The bindings sit lower on the board. I don't have any problem with heel/toe drag on my board (I got one wide enough), but I'm not a big carver. And I ride 6/0. There's not much padding in the footbed ... just some rubber inserts. So you'll feel it if you're jumping a lot. I don't feel it when riding. The boots/liners have plenty of padding. The binding footbeds are not canted. And on my model you can't adjust the heel back to slant left or right. (The newer models are supposed to have more adjustments.) There's a nifty cover for the baseplate, so it keeps snow/ice from forming in there and making it harder to insert your boot. In any conditions, you want to use your stomp pad to scrape the snow off the bottom of your boot. I love these. And all for $120 ... I bought a second pair just in case they quit making these.

Solid bindings! Lasted a whole 9 years before the ankle strap gave up! Love these bindings and will definitely get the same to replace them if I can't just get new straps for them. They're super convenient to lock into at the top of a run. And they worked very well for my size 13 boots. Highly recommend!

5 stars for these System rear entry bindings! I’ve been snowboarding for 30 years (yep, a very long time) and I’ve used all sorts of bindings. For the last 5 years I’ve ridden the Flow rear entry bindings and I have to say I thought they were great, easy in - easy out. Problem was I could only use a Flow binding for my rear foot. Since the flow bindings can’t be quickly adjusted my front foot was always ratcheted in tight, all day long, and that always made my front foot lose circulation and the pressure points would get quite painful. The rear foot was fine because you took it out of the binding at the end of each run. So when I saw these, I had to give them a try. So glad I did. These are so easy to loosen (and remove) at the end of the run. At the end of each run I would loosen both high backs, pull my rear foot out, and re-lock the front, but with the top strap still loose. Now total comfort all the way back up the chair lift and zero chance of my foot coming out. Once back on top, lock down the front and put my back foot back in. All good, quick and comfortable! The toe cap system is also a huge win, so much comfort and control without pressure points. One more thing. I have big feet. Size 13 boots. I grabbed the XL bindings and they fit great. The only thing is if you’ve got big feet, and need big bindings, make sure you have a Wide board. I ride a GNU Carbon 159W and these XL bindings reach all the way to the edge of the board for both feet front and back (see attached photos). I ride the front at 16 degrees and the back at 2 degrees. If I had a regular width board these XL bindings would hang over the edges. Lastly, I couldn’t get the high backs to adjust side to side at all. Not sure why not, I’ve never had an issue with any other binding ever. Good news is they were still plenty comfortable and I didn’t notice any issue with them while riding. Again... 5 stars. Totally exceeded my expectations and they have a 3 year warranty. Update: 5 rides in and still loving these bindings. I wanted to add a tip. If the clip on the high back that locks the binding is too difficult to close or unlatch, use the roller adjuster in the middle (see last photo). It makes a huge difference in the amount of pressure needed to open and close. The lowest level is the easiest, top is hardest. I found this out because on my last trip out the rear binding was next to impossible to lock and unlock. I muscled through it for the full day, only to notice this 10 second adjustment once I got home. I’m assuming one of my kids was playing with it between ski days. Glad I figured it out, and thought I better be pass it on to you.

I wear a size 14 boots and the XL bindings just barely fit. But they fit! My boots are also Burton boots which are known to be less bulky than most other brands, which is likely the only reason I was able to make it work. As far as the bindings go, I am a big fan. The only thing I will say, is they are a pain in the rear end to strap into when in powdery conditions or when standing on a slanted surface. They are definitely intended for flat grounds making it easy to step into. But if you are the type of person who only straps in on the top of the mountain, you will love them. They make it soooo much easier and way faster to bind in. I am an advanced snowboarded who has been riding for 14 years if that means anything to anyone. But nonetheless, I would definitely recommend these bindings! Especially for their insanely cheap price

These bindings are amazing. While they can damage your boots the damage is pretty negligible and you generally know you're damaging them from the force you have to exert. The bindings are very well designed to where I can get them on in a third of the time or less than I would with other bindings. They are virtually step on at a 6th of the price. The sturdiness leaves a bit to be desired and it would be good to provide a video on how to set them up but they really work out great for a fraction of the price. I have other much more pricey bindings that I never use after I bought these. Keep up the great work!

tried the bindings yesterday for first time and happy to says its a game changer. more runs in 2 hours than before. takes getting used to and make sure you are comfortable with taking and removing your boots before you get up. learn to wiggle your toetips into the bindings and learn to lift the heel up when taking off. there are numerous adjustments, make sure you try them all. it is tricky if you fall in the middle of the slope so not recommended for beginners. even for experts taking off or putting on boots on a slope is highly impossible without doing some physical gymnastics. learn how to make a simple flat area to put on else you will slide off. the bindings are more rugged than they look. but still, stress test them well. burton channel used on the disc works fine edit: so after 20km on these, they are great but i miss the sitting down and enjoying the view. its standing all the way and hard on the knees. maybe good for those in a hurry. on the other hand the butt doesn't get wet all day. guess we cant have it both ways! Go ahead and buy this gem anyways! overall very happy with this buy.

I’ve been boarding for around 10 years, always with traditional bindings. It used to really frustrate me having to faff around with straps when getting to a flat spot or on/off lifts. The benefit with these is you dial in your tension once at the beginning of the trip and then your set. One clip on the back and fold the leg down to Slide out. Foot in, leg up, clip on the back and side when you’re setting off again- easy. The only thing which was a bit of an issue is when you’re strapping in on a slope. You end up sliding down the hill so sit down and then it can be awks to get your foot in. Basically, it’s all about technique which soon comes. Fittings for burton channel and normal bolt in so very handy if you’re taking different boards as this set of bindings does both. Not quite burton step ins, but mucho cheapero!

My son was looking for step in bindings. Most brands are ridiculously priced. These are very well made, and very easy to use. Thanks for making an affordable yet effective product.

Le systeme est parfait , peut etre pas pour une utilisation agressive / snowpark . Je suis un skieur du dimanche et attacher les fix etait penible a chaque fois . Avec ce systeme plus besoin de se pencher . 30 sec , on clip et c’est regler ! Encore plus rapide pour les declippés.
