Straps and Highbacks

Drake’s Honey Straps are still pretty new to the game and take on a honeycomb pattern to really wrap around your boot. The malleable design stops pressure points building across the top of the foot, and once again, you guessed it- cuts down on weight.

Again the toe straps are quite minimalistic, but that’s A) to keep the weight down and B) to keep the cost down. They still do the job though, keeping your foot pulled back into the binding and allowing rapid heel to toe energy transfer. Both are adjustable without the need for a tool, so if you need to sort it out on the fly, it’s easy as pie.

The cutout highback features minimal padding around the top, with some traction by the backstay of your boot to allow for a seamless integration between the two. It’s forward lean adjustable, so whatever your thoughts on cranking down, you’ve got the opportunity to do so if you want.

Roundup

Drake claim these are one of their best-selling models to date, so they’re not drastically changing them year on year. And sure, they’re not the most high-tech binders in the game, but they do the job and leave you with a bit of cash for the beer fund.
