Review by sierracrew Good Features The Cartel is the most versatile and most popular binding on the market. Reason being is that they offer a super smooth comfortable ride without giving up any response. They have a nice and tall highback for added power, a jelly feeling ankle strap, the well known cap strap over the toes and quite a bit of vibration dampening features Bad Features Some say forward lean is a bit drastic. Recommended Alternatives The Burton mission will save you a couple bucks, very similar binding just not as comfortable. The C02 would be your next step up with a lighter weight.

Canted Hi-Back Design Do you know the difference between your left and right? Of course you do, but most hi-backs don`t. Our canted hi-backs feature an ergonomic design that follows the natural contours of your left and right legs to maximize power and increase comfort so you can ride harder for longer with less fatigue. Smooth Glide Buckle Technology Buttery smooth entry and release, and unmatched strength are the trademarks of our Smooth Glide buckle technology.

Gapless Baseplate Padding Cushioning that covers the entire baseplate and Gas Pedal to absorb impact and reduce high-speed vibrations. Pre-Curved 3D Strap Shape We believe that the most effective strap is the one you hardly even notice. That`s why every strap we make is based on the same Pringle-shaped, pre-curved spine that is 3D molded to perfectly match the shape of your feet and ankles. Superstrap
