The Arbor Hemlock Snowboard Bindings are ideal for riders taking a freestyle-first approach to their riding. Symmetrical highbacks have 5 degrees of lateral pre-rotation for maximum freedom of movement, while Arbor's System X baseplate connects you directly to your board for improved response as you line up your next trick.
Flex rating – 3 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)
System X – The System X design evenly distributes a rider's energy into their snowboard. No matter where pressure is applied to the binding, the System X allocates energy across the baseplate's structural X shape, and out to the four cardinal points. The result is quicker, more effective control. 15% glass content for added strength and stability.
50A Durometer Outsole – The Outsole is a dampening interface made from a special TPE rubber. The Outsole integrates with the System X design and sits between the binding and a rider's snowboard. The Outsole diffuses high-frequency chatter while providing rebound and cushion for high-impact landings. On the Cypress, Arbor uses a slightly stiffer durometer TPE for added performance.
Adjustable Extruded Aluminum Heelcup – Highly durable extruded aluminum, designed to work with the Mini-Disk for amazing adjustability. Use the highback to center the foot and the disk to fine-tune your stance width.
Fiberglass Reinforcing – The Hemlock and Sequoia, feature a 15% glass content for a softer, more forgiving ride; while the Cypress have 30% glass content for added strength and stability

Tool-less Forward Lean Adjustment
Hemlock 2 Asymmetrical Highbacks with 5° Lateral Pre-Rotation
BioStraps – Arbor’s plant-based BioStrap takes the place of harmful petrol-based plastics focusing on heel lock and secure fit, with a comfortable curvature and low profile, single-injection ankle strap. Stronger, lighter, more sustainable, and the first of its kind.
Bow-Strap Adjuster – Arbor's patented "Bow-Strap" adjuster and ladder strap swings out of the way quickly and easily, making binding entry a simple, user-friendly experience. The pre-curved strap steers clear of your boot while maintaining form and durability in even the coldest conditions.
Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon Buckles and Levers
Cast Aluminum Buckles and Levers – Offering ultra-reliable performance with long-term durability and a tighter, stronger click for an unparalleled boot-to-binding connection.
2x4 Universal Mini-Disc – Mini-Disks require less surface area and along with the System X help provide a more organic snowboard flex underfoot. They are channel compatible.
The Vans Invado OG Snowboard Boots have those classic Off the Wall looks you know and love, along with fat stacks of modern freestyle performance.
