Step 1
Strap bindings utilize two straps, one on the toe and one over the ankle, and the highback to secure the boot into the binding. Riders use a combination of a soft boot with the strap binding. This combination offers a lot of control and are seen by many snowboarders to one of the more comfortable type of bindings to use.

Step 2
Step-in bindings do not use straps. They instead utilize the highback and the step-in mechanism to lock your boot in place. This mechanism allows for easy entry to the binding, but is not generally seen as a comfortable option.

Step 3
Flow-in bindings offer the comfort of the soft boot with the ease of a step-in binding. One drawback to this set is they can not be as easily adjusted as a strap binding.

Step 4
Plate snowboard bindings require the use of snowboard hard boots. This binding is generally used with carving and racing snowboards. They offer a rider the extra leverage these boards need.

Step 5
Baseless bindings help a rider feel the board more. This style is most often used by terrain park freestylers. The added feel helps on the rails and boxes plus this lets the board flex on its natural flex pattern.
