Bon Hiver Snowboard Binding… We recognized that strap-ins provide the support, lateral flex, and responsiveness that riders demand, but we're fed up with strapping in for every run, walking flats, and being bound to our boards. We also recognized that other binding designs attempted to address these shortcomings, but did so at the expense of our riding experience. So, we created the FBS which provides performance riders need with the functionality we've been dying for. The FBS provides strap-in performance while enabling riders to disengage and remove the back binding from the board and either lock in on the fly while skating or lock in hands-free on the lift. Vowing to never compromise, we created a better binding that will be a catalyst for progression in snowboarding.
