Sierra Says: One of Burton's most revered models, the Mission fulfills a variety of duties and can be applied to many styles of riding. Freestyle riders will love its medium-soft flex and mobile design while taking laps through the park, while less experienced riders will appreciate that same forgiving feel when carving down groomed runs. When you think about it, it's pretty obvious why ...

Focused on simplicity, this binding is perfect for the progressing all-mountain rider that couldn't care less about fancy bells and whistles and just needs something tough and reliable.

Sierra Says: The P1.1 has been making an impact for quite a few years now, and for good reason. A two-part basetray combines a soft flex underneath the foot with a stiffer flex along the sides, creating a damp yet responsive feel. The highback is relatively soft when flexed torsionally, but very rigid when direct pressure is applied from the heel. This type of construction allows for great comfor...

Sierra Says: Freestyle snowboarders know that they need a responsive but forgiving binding. You might ask, “isn’t that two conflicting ideas?”, and usually the answer is yes, but Rome has somehow done both with the 390. Maybe its the SF Glass-filled base plate or the UnderWrap 2 Heel Loop. I don’t know, but what I do know is the 390’s are amazing. Rome Says: A merger of SDS technology and fr...

Sierra Says: The Targa really is the binding for the new age. A relatively stiff, customizable binding that really lets you ride it any condition. Adjust the flex and feel depending on the conditions. It’s like getting unlimited possibilities for the price of one binding. When it come time to choose a truly ALL mountain binding, the Rome Targa is the obvious choice. Rome Says: The Targa c...
