Stiff – Quick and responsive feel edge-to-edge, with enough torsional flex to tweak grabs.

ST Padding – The ST pad is the go-to standard with normal pad thickness for precise response and cushioning for all types of riding.

Bumper Corners – Switchback places a rubber bushing along the bottom rim of the binding to absorb vibration, enhance flex, and help cushion harsh landings. The corners and sides are thicker to protect your topsheet and promote flex, and the toes and heels are thinner for more direct control and terrain feel.

Direct Steering – The bumper bushing is contoured with less material around the heels and toes for improved edge-to-edge response and smooth power transfer. It also helps you feel the terrain in a smooth kind of way.

Heel Pillow – Generous heel pad for cushioning and comfort. Simply adds a bit more suspension to the ride.

Less Material – Switchback designs their baseplates with a minimal amount of rigid material touching the board's topsheet when mounted. This not only saves weight but also gives the binding and your board a more natural 360-degree flex pattern underfoot.

Flatback Highbacks – Kevin Sansalone added Flatback highbacks for their adjustable forward lean, ergonomic asymmetrical design for a comfortable fit, and near-flat shape for mobility to tweak and get surfy without losing out on power transfer and control when needed.

Eames Strap – Eames straps are composed of a rugged leather-style cover and a solid pre-molded EVA lining for a more responsive and powerful feel. The shaping and materials easily form and mold around any boot contour for a plush fit.

Adjustable Strap Position – Switchback baseplates offer two easily adjustable strap mounting positions: a higher setting that gives you more response and boot hold, and a lower one that offers more freestyle flexibility. Play with them and find your perfect fit.

Center Adjusting Straps – Center your toe and ankle straps for proper boot fit in seconds by flipping open the latch adjustment and use the ratchet and ladder strap to find the sweet spot.

Easy Access – Switchback's strap design allows the straps to naturally fall open and away for easy in and out. Get in and out quickly without stepping on your straps.

Tool Free Ladders – Switchback's straps are easy to adjust for fit and riding style and require no tools to do so. The ladder straps simply snap in, as do Switchback's highbacks and baseplate padding. No worries of losing nuts or screws.
