The Switchback snowboard binding base is one of the integral parts to your Switchback bindings, without it you won't be able to apply any footbeds, straps or highbacks! Once these are on your board though you can get rid of the screwdriver as the rest of these bindings are completely tool less!
Its made of polycarbonate which is great for general riding and freestyle. The base comes with a bit of impact padding that you connect to the bottom of the base to absorb impacts and protect your board from the plastic of the binding base. Within the pack you will also find all the discs and screws you need to attach these to your board.
The Switchback Base can only be used with Switchback parts which means in order to complete the binding you will have to purchase Switchback straps, Switchback Footbeds and a Switchback Highback (optional extra). You won't be able to fit another binding part from another snowboard brand onto a Switchback Base.
Remember, this is only one part of the full binding. If you want to able to ride Switchback bindings you will need to select a footbed, highback and some straps at the very least.
