It always seems like the bindings with the most customization options are always the most complicated to use. The K2 Women's Cinch Vette simplifies the process so once you make the initial adjustments; it's all about ratcheting the strap buckles and nothing else. K2 Cinch bindings are different by design to optimize ease of entry. The cabled configuration folds back the highback and lifts up the ankle strap in unison, so all you do is step in. Once properly sized, you don't have to sit down and attach the ankle straps or tweak the toe strap closures--just fine-tune the ratchets and locking forward lean and you're ready to ride. This season K2 added a new seamless EVA padding along the footbed for added cushion after landing impacts. We noticed quite a bit of cush when we combined the padded Cinch Vette with the new Harshmellow padding in the K2 Women's Haven Boa Coiler snowboard boots, but not in a way that would muddle the energy transmission between your boots and your bindings. K2 keeps the Cinch Vette light with a cored Ergo Highback that's specifically designed to accommodate women's' snowboard boots. The Cored Ergo Highback helps optimize heelside power and response with a center spine and comfortable, thermo-formed EVA calfpad. K2 also cored the side rails on the Cinch C2 chassis to reduce the weight without undermining the binding's durability.

Best things i've seen in a while
What can I say about this binding? The convenience of a flow binding with the removable hi-back, and the comfort and ease of a burton binding with a cap strap. The best of both worlds! Fits my boots like a dream, and they are even adjustable to get it just right! So stoked for this season can't wait to ride!
