Snowboard binding - Nitro Phantom Black Fade
Phantom is the most comfortable binding in the Nitro line up. It’s jacked up with dampening and with a new type of dampening that actually helps you to pop higher (Air Plus). The fiberglass reinforced base plate (Phantom Baseplate) delivers full dampening across the entire footbed, saving feet and knees during heavy landings (Air Plus, Air & EVA). Air Plus stores energy and rebounds so that you can land softer and pop higher. The base plate is canted 3 degrees for a more ergonomic position so that you can ride longer. The ankle strap (3D Optiframe Ankle Strap) provides a really snug and comfortable fit without pressure points and the toe strap (Ubergrip toe strap from Vibram) is made out of recycled rubber that locks the toes and gives a firm grip without any pressure points. The ratchets have been reinforced with steel cables to withstand wear and tear. You can adjust the size of the straps and the forward lean without tools. Phantom is also compatible with bulky boots from other brands.
We recommend trying to match the Response Rating/Flex on snowboard, binding and boots to get the best possible synergy between your equipment. Ask us if you need help!
