Salomon injected new life into their boarding gear by innovating a new bindings system called shadowfit. The Salomon Hologram bindings are an intermediate and up freestyle binding that will also serve you well freeriding.
The Shadowfit system incorporates new support technologies that provide a great flexibility and support to give the soft freestyle profile as well as the stiffness and response for hard charging, freeriding.
It starts with the flexible heel cup that is one of the softest around. It Envelops your heel, transferring the movements ever so nicely. The EVA toe strap does the same, pushing your foot into the cup, assisted by a Kevlar wire like a vice, without any discomfort.
The ankle straps are comfortable and they stay locked. Nuff said.
With a rigid composite baseplate and asymmetric highback that twists with your calf, but pushes back too, it catches that sweet spot for intermediate riders that don’t have the cash or bother for more than one board and binding.
