The Mission is pretty much the benchmark all mountain, resort binding. With over 10 years of product refinement, it remains one of the go to bindings for any shop staff across the globe. Top end design features, at a mid-range price point is a guaranteed winner, but the versatility of the Missions is its ace in the hole. Mid stiff construction, with generous amounts of cushioning & compliance make the Mission a suitable choice in almost any scenario. Only the heaviest, hardest chargers need more.

Features: Base/ Heelcups Single-Component Construction is a trickier design process to achieve the flex/response required from your binding. One piece means no joins, means great strength, & minimal weight. 30% Short Glass/ Nylon Composite has a slightly more forgiving flex than some of Burton’s stiffer baseplate/ Heelcup materials, making it ideal for all day riding, particularly for lighter/laid back riders. Stiff enough for dropping into couloirs, soft enough for sliding rails. Lifetime Baseplate guarantee covering manufacturer defects for life. It’s rare to see a Burton baseplate fail, but it’s comforting to know that their quibble free replacement will be on your board before you can say ‘ Did you get that on film?’ Anatomical Left & Right Baseplates is a more costly way to design & manufacture a snowboard binding, but your left & right feet are not the same, so why shouldn’t your baseplates match your feet? Straps: React Straps are 3D shaped ankle straps, designed to match the contour of any snowboard boot. Getta Grip Capstraps feature 3D shaping for the ultimate fit. They are constructed from ‘ Grip Fit’ rubber for excellent retention & can be used as Cap straps or Toe Straps (does anyone still ride like that?). Burton Cap Straps are some of the most universally compatible shapes, & fit perfectly over almost every boot on the market. Highback: Single-Component Construction is a trickier design process to achieve the flex/response required from your binding. One piece means no joins, means great strength, & minimal weight. Canted Highbacks are a more ergonomic shape than traditional ‘straight up’ highbacks. Your legs angle inwards toward your waist when you ride, so canting your highbacks to match this angle seems like an obviously beneficial step. Living Hinge Highbacks separate the forward lean adjustment from the highback rotation, allowing an almost infinite combination of highback setup positions. This design also saves weight over standard highback mounting designs. Zero Forward Lean Highbacks have the ability (but not the limitation) to be set up with no forward lean at all. This is great for jibbing & rail riding, as it gets them well out of the way. You can, of course, still crank them forward for icy all mountain conditions. FLAD Forward lean adjusters allow you t
