Altrec

Some entry-level and recreational snowboard bindings cut corners on quality (and longevity) to save costs, but Burton's Mission snowboard binding is built to grow with aggressive new riders and advancing intermediate all-mountain freestyle riders. Burton's Mission components are a step up from conventional recreational snowboard bindings and there's a fair chance that you'll still be using the Mission bindings long after you leave the green groomers and blue backbowls for the black-diamond terrain. Burton designed their Mission with comfort features like a padded, impact-absorbing EVA baseplate and Hi-Back cushioning. This season Burton's Mission binding features a new MicroFLAD adjustment dial on back of an ultra-minimized, single-component Mission Hi-Back for reduced weight and an array of adjustment options. The blended short-glass (30%) and nylon composite baseplate is ideal for all-mountain riding and won't warp like metal or feel too sloppy beneath your feet. If you're looking for something that will last--and you already factored in the cost of buying a cheap entry level binding that will need to be replaced by something next year--the Mission makes fiscal and practical sense.

Features:

  • Burton "response" rating: 5 on a scale of 1 to 9
  • Burton SuperStrap at ankle and Primocap at toe
  • Eco-friendly EVA baseplate padding made from reground materials to reduce waste
  • New Tool-free independent MicroFLAD adjustment dial on ultra-minimized, single-component Mission Hi-Back with eco-friendly EVA padding made from reground materials to reduce waste
  • Short-glass (30%)/nylon composite baseplate material and tool-free adjustable Gas Pedal pads
  • Single-component Smooth Glide buckles with durable aluminum levers and quick release gates
  • True Ott padding along highback

REI (2009)

Burton Mission bindings are no-nonsense destroyers for the shredder who's riding whatever and whenever instead of working overtime to buy some blinged-out binding.

  • With the Mission forget-it's-there fit, you'll have the freedom to float, spin, stomp and lap the lifts until last call
  • Short-glass fiber/nylon baseplates feature gapless EVA toe and heel pads; adjustable Gas Pedals™ reduce toe drag and increase responsiveness
  • Ultra-minimized nylon highback is cored out, reducing overall weight while maintaining strength and response
  • Tool-free MicroFLAD™ (Forward Lean Adjustment) lets you dial in and lock forward lean angle on the fly
  • Highback's rotation adjusts independently of forward lean and allows you to tweak heel-edge response
  • Highbacks feature OTT™ (Over The Top) padding for extra cushioning that won't bite your calf
  • Superstraps™ feature precurved spines molded to match the shape of your feet and ankles; gel padding dials in comfort
  • Primo Capstrap™ toe straps eliminate pressure across top of feet; Grip Fit zones offer locked-and-loaded response
  • Smooth Glide™ buckles with polished chrome-plated aluminum levers and quick-release gates are strong and easy to grab for quick closure and release

Evogear (2010)

The Mission 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 highback. Super cushy EVA baseplate and highback cushioning and pillowy soft straps seal the deal, keeping you comfortably connected no matter how hard you’re hammering.

The Mission Snowboard Binding has been a staple in the Burton lineup for years. Every season riders think it’s reached the peak, and every year it gets a little better. This season makes no exception thanks to plush straps, ultralight construction and a unique look that won’t quit.

Nice Bindings!!!

Rating:*****
After my first snowboarding trip I was hooked and on the prowl for some gear. From my research the Burton Mission binds provided a great ride at a reasonable price. I am a snowboarding newbie but from what I can tell I can definitely backup whats already been stated: bindings are easy to get in, bindings have a toe strap, they look great and well built.

Great Looking Bindings

Rating:*****
Im new with Snowboarding, don't know a lot to compare but was recommended Burton bindings with Burton boards. Therefore, I bought the Mission bindings. Really love the look and the feel. I really like the silver and black mix of color with the yellow logo accent. They look great with my green and white board.Great bindings for look and quality.

Sweet all around bindings!

Rating:*****
These bindings are comfy and easy to get in and out of. They keep you locked in and stay nice and tight. I bought them with my Burton Blunt 158 and together they make a great combination. Highly recommended!

Loving them

Rating:****
The toe cup makes all the difference. Can crank them down tight and without pinching your toes like the old toes strap use to. They are great!
