Burton Triad Snowboard Binding

Not for those who break things...

By Backcountry.com Employee October 17, 2008

After an initial recommendation from a Burton rep., I decided to rock these bindings during the '07-'08 season. As a rider who tends to break lots of equipment, I must say that I was pretty disappointed with the Triads' construction. Although way light, and seemingly responsive, these bindings fell way short of my expectations and I broke the brittle highbacks within a week of riding them at The Bird. When my finances told me that a new set of bindings wasn't in the cards for the rest of the season, I rigged them with a set of old P1 backs and now they are sufficient, but certainly not worthy of sending solid big mountain lines with confidence. If you like to take laps in the park, and occasionally hit a cliff or two, buy the Cartels instead, otherwise do yourself a favor and get on some Rossi binders or some Flux stiffies. Your feet and your ego will thank you...
