02 / NIDECKER SUPERMATIC BINDING

Like a two-strap binding, just more convenient and much quicker. Drop your foot in and the binding closes by itself. Pull the lever to release. The ‘Drop In’ technology was developed to allow easy opening and closure in complete safety. Multiple notches allow the binding to lock shut from the first click; there are three in total, which allow closure even if obstructed by snow accumulation. Supermatic offers dual entry for any conditions - just in case you’re in steep or off-camber terrain, or in waist deep powder. Supermatic works with every single snowboard boot on the market today.
