A Team favorite, right out of the gate, the Bond snowboard binding was developed with the help of riders like Gabe Ferguson, Parker Szumowski, and Antti Jussila. The most freestyle-focused binding in our men’s collection, the Bond prides itself on being lightweight, flexible, and comfortable. This do-it-all snowboard binding features a set of no-frills straps atop a vibration damping This Grips!™ basepad. By utilizing eco-conscious and recycled materials instead of plastics and EVA, we have made significant strides in sustainability. Our manufacturing process relies on over 40% solar-powered energy, and our packaging is FSC-certified, utilizing cardboard and recycled paper instead of plastics. As a result, we have achieved impressive reductions in our binding footprints – it’s not perfect, but it’s a click in the right direction: • The Bond binding uses ~40% Bio-based material by volume and ~25% by weight. • SD1 Ankle Strap and Wrap Toe Straps have seen a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg when compared to traditional TPU straps. • The castor-bean-based Team Highback offers ~a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg when compared to a nylon highback. • Sugarcane EVA Shockpad offers a ~90% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg when compared to traditional EVA. • All K2 Snowboarding bindings come in 100% Recyclable Packaging. • All K2 Snowboarding binding packaging is 95% FSC-certified recycled material. • >40% of the energy used in our manufacturing process is derived from solar.
