All the other bits and pieces of a Switchback binding can be changed, but the Eames straps that the Halldor Pro comes with have been designed to eliminate pressure points, so you won’t be in any rush to get rid of them.

So far, so Switchback – what about new developments? Well, the baseplate is massively different to previous models; the AERON is the product of three years’ graft, and is a lighter, more powerful binding thanks to the use of forged aluminium.

“Whether it’s the position of your ankle strap or the angle of your forward lean, you can fine-tune this binder to your exact specifications”

As well as the options to change parts entirely, the Switchback Halldor Pro has all the customisation you could ask for. Whether it’s the position of your ankle strap or the angle of your forward lean, you can fine-tune this binder to your exact specifications – and if you get new boots, tweaking the Halldor Pro to fit them is quick and easy.

Obviously you should have freestyle in mind if you’re going to make the most out of this, and its relative stiffness means that bigger tricks might be called for. If you’ve got the gusto, the Switchback Halldor Pro could unlock your inner Icelander.

The black-and-white design will go with just about any stick, but for maximum matching points you can grab the Lobster Halldor Pro snowboard too.

I’m so damn pumped on my updated Switchback bindings!

The graphics, the wing highback, they’re lighter, you can adjust the sizes, don’t have to take the bindings off the board to swap toe straps.

You will be pumped! Thankyouthankyou.
