Snowboard Binding System

摘要

There is disclosed a snowboard binding system for soft snowboard boots. The binding system is unique in that it connects the snowboard boot (and the snowboard rider) to the snowboard base by means of a circumferential leg strap joined to the snowboard base by means of vertical straps. All soft boot snowboard binding systems in the prior art utilize one or more straps that cover the instep area of the boot. This system provides manufacturing efficiencies, increased user comfort and performance advantages over prior art.
