CLEW Independence Hybrid Step-In Snowboard Bindings, Sage Green

CLEW Independence snowboard bindings combine familiar two-strap retention with a patented hybrid step-in/out system. Designed for All-Mountain riding across pistes, powder and park.

Compatible with your boots and board

Works with all soft snowboard boots, with no special footwear required. Compatible with 4 × 4, 4 × 2, Channel and 3D mounting systems. A separately sold 3D disc set is required for 3D boards.

Fast entry and exit

No need to re-ratchet your straps after every lift, sit down or fold up the highback before stepping in. The toe cap retains its position while three sintered locking teeth automatically secure the highback. According to CLEW, entry takes just 1.9 seconds.

Lightweight construction

Each size M binding weighs 989 g. According to the manufacturer, revised geometry and new materials reduce weight by 20% compared with its first model. CLEW describes the Independence as the world's lightest hybrid step-in binding.

Two-strap control

The patented system retains the familiar feel of a two-strap binding. Integrated 2.5° base canting supports a natural stance, while redesigned straps transfer rider input directly to the board's edge.

Developed and tested on snow

CLEW reports nine years of development, more than 40 prototypes and over 100,000 riders using its bindings. Users range from weekend snowboarders and ski patrols to coaches and FIS-level athletes.
