Where to buy:
The Mercury bindings from Jones snowboards are a stiff iteration that is a middle ground product for advanced riders. It’s stiff but has so much shock absorption that only snowboarders who are relaxed will be able to run with it without feeling sleepy. But for those who do, it’s somewhere between a Mustang and a Coupe de Ville.
With snowboard boots that have a harder sole, riding with these will give a Cadillac Seville experience. That will be super nice on powder and long, luscious carving runs.
At the same time the slight twistiness in the heelback will cater to more flexible boards and ultimately allow for a wider spectrum of terrain. The straps can switch up to change support profiles to customize the flex you need for different styles too.
