Halldor designed his pro model bindings to suit his ‘all in’ riding style. They feature his very own Wingbacks. These highbacks have a very asymmetric shape, with the wings that wrap around the outside of your calf providing ultimate support for riding fast and dangerous.

BASEPLATEA solid base to build your binding on. So solid it’s virtually indestructable. Straps, Footpads, Noback inserts and Highbacks all fit to the Baseplate without using tools. No hardware means less hassles and less weight than your average binding. No hardware means less hassles and less weight than your average binding.

The Switchback baseplate comes in small, medium and large for different foot sizes but all the other components (Footpads, Highbacks and straps) come in one size only and are hence fully interchangeable regardless of the size of your base plate.

Page 34: Switchback Bindings 14

BASEPLATE

DIRECT STEERINGIn the critical areas along the front and back edges of the binding this padding is thinner to allow a smooth and even power transfer from your feet to your edge and give you a more precise feeling for the terrain underfoot. This makes Switchbacks super responsive.

BUMPER CORNERSThe rubber dampening pad sits between the Baseplate and the board to reducing scrape damage to the top sheet and provide a more natural flex pattern under your feet. Extra dampening in the corners of your base padding protects your board from wear and impact damage.

LESS IS MORELess plastic to the board means a more natural flex pattern under your boot. We also removed all solid material from under your heel to reduce the potential for dreaded ‘heel bruise’ on heavy, flat or heel edge landings.

OFFSET DISC OPTIONFor those that want to adjust the binding position vertically while keeping horizontal fine tuning options there is the offset disc (Offset discs are sold seperatly).

Our baseplates look simple and work really well. They are built from super tough and lightweight composite materials and include several key design features for better shredding.

Page 35: Switchback Bindings 14

STRAPSProbably one of the most crucial parts of any binding system. We designed our strap to be very responsive, super comfortable, highly adjustable and totally toolless.

STRAPS

HEEL- AND TOESTRAPS

Switchback straps are some of the best! Constructed from super soft EVA covered with neoprene, they mold to any boot shape as the ratchet is tightened. The ratchets themselves are made from strong and light aluminium and the ladders are super tough to minimize wear, even from constant use.

Page 37: Switchback Bindings 14

STRAPS

STRAP POSITIONThe heel straps can be fitted to the baseplates in two positions: One is lifted higher off the topsheet this pushes your boot more backwards, towards the heel cup for better response. The other attachment point is lower, meaning that your boot is pushed more downwards towards the topsheet for a better feeling of the terrain under your board and allowing more sideways boot flex.

MULTI FUNCTIONAL TOE STRAPThe toe straps can be worn in two positions: One is more suitable if you prefer the toe strap to sit like a cap over the front of your boots and the other is better if you prefer the classic position of the toe strap over the top of your toes.

TOTALLY TOOLLESS LADDERSIf you want to switch heelstrap positions when you remove their Highbacks or just to try a different riding experience this is no problem with Switchback because the strap position can be changed without needing tools.

EASY ACCES HEEL LADDERSThe length adjustment ladders are molded and contoured so that the straps naturally fall open and the unfastened straps lie outside the baseplate. This makes Switchbacks easier to get on at the top of the lift.

TUNE IT BOTH WAYSBoth the heel and toe straps have their lengths set using a second ladder and clip on the opposite side from the closure ratchet. This makes fitting the straps to your exact foot size and boot shape even easier.

Probably one of the most crucial parts of any binding system. We designed our strap to be very responsive, super comfortable, highly adjustable and totally toolless.

Page 38: Switchback Bindings 14

FOOTPADSwitchback Footpads slot into the baseplates without any screws and cover the insert disks. They provide protection on heavy landings and facilitate great responsiveness by providing a snug fit for your boots.

Page 39: Switchback Bindings 14

FOOTPADChoose the ST Pad for maximum board feel and direct steering. If you want more cushioning go for the Jib Pad. Are you rocking super wide stances? – then try out a pair of canted C Pads to make things more mellow on the knees.

C PADNew for this season! Canted Pads make riding more comfortable by improving the anatomical alignment of your knee and ankle joints for stances that are as wide as the riders shoulders or wider. This keeps the angles made by your lower body joints more natural and reduces fatigue and stress in them. As well as improving comfort, canted foot pads also help with pop by improving the transfer of energy towards the nose and tail of your board.

JIB PADExtra thick EVA padding under the ball of your feet and your toes gives extra protection against the flat and heavy landings that are to be expected when riding street rails and crazy jibs.

ST PADRegular thickness EVA padding under the ball of your foot and your toes gives all the cushioning you could ever need for regular riding.

Pick the Footpad that fits your style best. Made from EVA to absorb and dampen forces that would be otherwise transferred to your leg, all of our footpads include a very thick EVA pad under your heel. This largely eliminates the potential for heel bruises.

HIGHBACKHighbacks provide support for you ankles and knees and assist power delivery to the heel edge of your board. But you might not always need them...

NOBACK INSERT

Try this for a more skate-like jib / mini-shred session or a more surf-like powder experience.

We have a highback for every kind of riding style. And if you don’t like highbacks, that’s also no problem – just pop in the Noback insert and find out just how much fun it is to ride without.

TOTALLY TOOLLESSClick in your highback in just seconds without using tools.

3 CLICK!

WHY NOT NOBACK?Now you can switch from highback to noback in seconds, without using tools. Nobacks slot into the baseplates like regular high backs so that your heel is not positioned further back in the binding when riding without high backs. Like our highbacks the nobacks are coated in EVA to give a snug fit and minimize boot wear from rubbing.

FORWARD LEAN ADJUSTMENT

Forward lean pushes the top of the highback towards the toe edge of the board. This automatically causes the rider to bend their knees and adds power and precision to their heel side turns. Adjust your forward lean using the adjustment screws. Our forward lean system keep your highback always in contact with your heelcup – no gaps.

A HOLE LOT OF FLEX

The hole in our highbacks is there for a reason. This hole allows the highback to be torsionally flexible yet longtitudinally stiff, meaning that you get all the support you could ever need on your heel edge without sacrificing tweakability on grabs and presses.

While some riders prefer the skate and surf like feel of riding without high backs, many still prefer to use them. Switchback offers a range of highbacks and nobacks to suit just about anyone.
