Burton Mission Bindings

Snowboarding > BindingsRated: **** by 40 reviews.

This binding can do 1260s. Actually all bindings can, but the Mission® does them when strapped to riders like Shaun White and Peetu Pirroinen. If that’s not enough to get you on these, consider the forget-it’s there fit of a new, even lighter weight hi-back. Super cush EVA baseplate and hi-back cushioning and pillowy soft straps seal the deal, keeping you comfortably connected no matter how hard you’re hammering.

Features:

  • 30% Short-Glass/Nylon Composite A slightly higher amount of response and power without sacrificing mobility. Single-Component One material throughout the entire baseplate creates consistent response and feel for a versatile ride that excels on all terrain. Hi-Backs Single-Component Construction The simplicity of a one-piece design means immediate response that lets you feel the entire mountain. Through material blends we can then control the overall flex profile—from soft and surfy to ultra responsive. Straps Primo Capstrap 3D® Curved, Triple Axis Spine Grip Fit Superstrap™ Superstrap™ Construction 3D® Curved, Triple Axis Spine NeoPadding Buckles Smooth Glide Buckle Technology Buttery smooth entry and release, and unmatched strength are the trademarks of our Smooth Glide™ buckle technology. Polished, chrome-plated aluminum and lightweight polycarbonate levers give you season after season of premium ratcheting power. Best of all, our buckles are designed and built by us, not some shady supplier. Response 5 Every binding in our line rides differently. The best way to describe the type of ride is through our response rating. The response rating is based primarily on the construction, profile, and materials used in the baseplate, hi-back, cushioning system, and straps, as well as feedback we get from our team riders and product testers. Based only as a comparison between the bindings within our line, a rating of one is more relaxed while ten is more responsive. Other Features NEW MicroFLAD™ NEW Ultra-Minimized EVA Baseplate Padding

Me likey!

Rating:****

My Missions are 07's or 08's. These were my 1st pair of Burtons and 2nd overall pair of bindings. The capstrap helped me progress so much. Don't know why any one would prefer over the toes, guess that's just what they're used to. The cap strap not only makes it feel like I have more control but it helps pull my boot back into the binding so it's nice and tucked in. I would say the ankle padding is about medium. They have always felt comfortable to me until I started riding with some serious lean on the highback. I think I just need to adjust the strap angle though. I have to agree with what "badkelly" wrote about the ratchet skipping at the end of the ladder. This happens every time now. I like my bindings super snug so I try to ratchet down as far as possible which could have caused this. The bindings still get tight but it just takes a little more effort, haven't looked into fixing it because I guess technically they are not broke. Like the other review said, it just lets me know that I am ratcheted to the max. The straps are easy to adjust too. There are several position lengths to fit what ever boot you ride with. It will require a phillips screwdriver.

pretty good binding *READ THIS

Rating:****

bought these brand new in 09 to go on my K2 board. only problem i've had is when you get to the end of the ladder ratch, it starts skipping and missing. you have to pick up on the end of it to make it catch and progress. this is on the left binding only. i took it to the burton store in vail and all i got was 'yeah, mine do that, too'. i'd heard burton wasn't aces in the binding dept, though. it still works, it just skips at the end....kinda like my indicator that i'm fully ratched in. besides that, the back board broke on chair 4. i took it in and they swapped it out free of charge. **key thing here - turns out everything from burton after 05 or 06 is guaranteed! dude asked how i did it, i didn't know (found out later it's the chair that drops down on it and crunches it). no problem, he simply replaced it instead of me shipping it off. so, pretty good binding, excellent warranty.

Good With The Ruler

Rating:*****

I've had these bindings for 2 years. Fantastic! Put three solid months on these guys one season (yes, about 90 days of pow and park). Worked great with my boots (Burton Rulers). I think that some of the people who have had complaints about these either don't have burton boots or don't know how to ride without breaking their gear. The high backs are great for long backside days and you can move enough in them that you can still put in down in the park. The only complaint I have is that I forget sometimes to put my backs down when I get on the lift and the padding got tore up pretty good the first few times I went out, but other then that ZERO complaints.

My go to

Rating:*****

Bought them with my first board years ago- I've changed boards a couple times and boots. I've picked up new bindings too but I still put these babies one when I want a great hassle-free day. Enough flex for a couple runs through the park, but they're not butterballs. They handle the mountain like a champ- nice highbacks and toe strap give solid control. Never jittery, solid yet nice and light. Rachets stay loose and functional in any weather and never slip. The highback can get a little beat up by the lift if you don't push it down, but considering how much time I've put on mine a little fraying on the back is understandable. They've held up like a champ. Great all round binding.

Siickk Binding

Rating:*****

I just bought the '09 Missions this year right before a trip out to snowshoe, wv this march. I used them for 8 hours a day, 4 days straight and so far they are amazing. The key to this binding is getting it properly adjusted. The toe caps can be a little tricky but once you find your cozy spot its perfect. They are super flex and I have way more control than my ride lx's could've ever given me. I highly recommend these bindings to anyone looking for a good binding. They were easily controllable in the park, on a jib, on a wall, whatev. Buy them!

Stickity sweet

Rating:*****

I got these on whiskey milita so the price made it even better of a buy, but i would of paid full price for these. When i got them last season it was my first season with my own gear so i was looking for beginner stuff that i could upgrade from there but still start out with decent products. I still haven't had any breaks or tears but i'd get them again if anything happened to them. I love the toe strap design because it doesn't cram my toes like other designs do. Light weight and durable, love it.

Chris Cumpian at Backcountry.com Outlet on 04/04/2009

Pretty good for the money

Rating:****

These are my first bindings; they're great, but I can see some minor flaws already. The clip on the toe strap came loose on me and actually broke free on a run. I thought it was a freak accident, then the opposite foot's toe strap started sticking. On another note, the bindings handle well. Turning is easy, and when the straps are holding tight, they keep great control. Get them if you don't have the money for higher priced bindings. They won't let you down... if you keep a screw driver in your jacket.

looks and proformance

Rating:*****

ok guys.i have been riding these binding for a while already and i abuse and beat the shit out of my board and bindings.these have not broke or even giving me a problem.i ride 5 days a week for 4 months straight and i never have a problem.they are pretty ajustable for any riding.free riding to advanced park riding,they are great for all types.but the 2 things i LOVE about these bindings are that they are really lite and really comfortable.i would definately recommend this to any one from beginner to advanced riding.

these are some nar bindings!! at Backcountry.com Outlet on 02/20/2009

definitely worth the price

Rating:*****

When I first got into snowboarding, I used the Freestyle bindigs. Not knowing any better, I thought they were a good binding, especially for the price. After getting Missions, I can definitely tell the difference and I understand whey they cost more. These bindings seem stronger, they are more comfortable, and the response is much better. I use the bindings (large) with size 14 Burton Motos and I have yet to have a problem. The capstraps stay put, the highbacks are stiff, and the construction seems pretty durable.

solid performer all around

Rating:*****

i bought these last year for my burton elite 151. the guy at my local snowboard shop recommended them to me for a beginner that wanted to grow into his gear and not have to replace them so quickly. i've gone around thirty or so times, and so far, they've held up very well. they feel solid, light, and they have padding which helps. i really like how the toe strap goes around your toes instead of the top of it.

Go Ride

Rating:*

Upgrade for a few more bucks to the Ride SPi; I've owned and riden the Burton line (Mission-CO2) and after switching to Ride's SPis I wouldn't go back. The aluminum chasis is bomb-proof. The straps are solid (don't break consistently like my Burtons did) and easier to adjust on the fly. The convertible toe strap works a lot better than the cap strap. Ride's ankle strap is also better designed, they are flatter and wider than the Burton line, which makes them lighter and more comfortable. I also like the base of Ride's bindings more than Burton's. It has a rubber sole on it that protects my board's top sheet instead of digging grooves into it like the plastic base of Burton's bindings do. With the Missions you're buying the Burton name, not a quality binding...

Suck

Rating:*

I don't know about this years missons, but i had the 07/08, and they suck shit... If your some one like me who rides 60+ days a year, don't buy these bindings. Both my toe straps snapped in half, and had to be replaced. The bolts on these bindings would always get loose (not like this doesn't happen to every binding) but this happened constantly, you don't know how many bolts i went through that had been stripped and replaced. My good friends, knowing that i had shitty bindings, recommended to me union bindings. So I bought a pair of forces half off of $200 and have never had a problem since. If i were you i would recommend buying from a company that specializes in bindings, like union does.

Not that great

Rating:*

I got the 08 missions and hated them. When I was riding at my home mountain in South Dakota the toe strap consistently fell off or slipped of my boot and the ladder strap would always skip and come undone. On a trip to Bridger Bowl Montana after getting of the chair at the top of the bowl my baseplate snapped verticaly down the middle on the first run. Spend your money on another company that hasn't completely sold out the snowboard industry.

Rating:**

i bought these bindings in the beginning of the 08 09 snowboard season. After about 3 weeks of riding they started ripping apart. If you want a high quallity binding look at union bindings. if you just want a pair of bindings for their looks, you can just settle for these.

Neutral Reviews:

Great, but not for what they're advertised...

Rating:***

These bindings would be great if I had used them for their intended purpose, park-riding. Although they are advertised for all mountain riding they are much to flexy to go at the speeds I want to over the terrain I want to. I like to go fast and don't really hit up the park, when the going gets rough, the flex begins. These are by no means recommendable for the whole mountain. Don't be fooled by the "All mountain" monicker, they are very comfortable but are much too flexy for my taste. If you find yourself more often on the double blacks than in the park, these are not for you. As a side note, the ankle strap padding ripped a fair amount after 2 days of hard riding. The straps themselves have held up well though.

Park Only

These bindings are light, soft and good for the park (especially for jibs, ok on jumps, big jumps on hardpack are questionable.) They make are a decent choice for beginners, too. The Missions are comfortable but don't provide enough support or response to be an all-mountain binding for high-intermediate riders or above. Fits Salomon Fusion boots well.
