Dumbed-down. That's how most snowboard companies design their entry-level and intermediate snowboard bindings. Burton's Mission EST snowboard binding is smarted-up. That means you can count on quality performance features that are durable, comfortable and responsive. While the Mission EST might cost a bit more than some entry-level offerings, the components are a step up from conventional recreational snowboard bindings and there's a fair chance that you'll still be using the Mission EST bindings long after you leave the green groomers and blue backbowls for the black-diamond terrain. Burton designed their Mission EST with comfort features like a padded, impact-absorbing EVA baseplate and Hi-Back cushioning. This season Burton's Mission binding features a new MicroFLAD adjustment dial on back of an ultra-minimized, single-component Mission Hi-Back for reduced weight and an array of adjustment options. The blended short-glass (30%) and nylon composite EST baseplate is ideal for all-mountain riding and won't warp like metal or feel too sloppy beneath your feet. Remember that unlike the more-traditional Mission binding, the Mission EST is developed exclusively for Burton snowboards with The Channel binding interface built in to the snowboard. Be sure that you pair this binding with The Channel system.

Sturday, a bit heavy.
Typical Burton mid-level binding. Nice fit, a bit heavy, I trust it will last several seasons unlike other brands.
