There are so many snowboard binding choices out there that it is sometimes hard to decide which model is the best for you. A few of my favorite brands are Drake, Flow, and Head bindings. It looks like the 2007 - 2008 snowboarding season is going to be the best thus far in terms of design and technology amongst the top snowboard binding manufactures.

Over the last 10 years Drake have improved their snowboard bindings by focusing on the details. Nearly all of the heel cups on Drake's snowboard bindings are constructed from lightweight aluminum giving the rider a responsive, durable heel cup.

Drake's dual function toe straps are perfect for the rider obsessed with customization. This flexible strap can be placed on the top of the foot or in front of the toes like a heel cup.

As a company generally known for their tennis equipment Head has in recent years emerged as a contender in the snowboarding game. Featuring models with everything from 3-D molded neoprene straps, plug and play discs, and adjustable toe ramps, to leather high back padding Head's bindings are sure to be the favorite of many!

Head bindings have a look all there own. 3-D Molding, high contrast colors, and futuristic looking heel cup designs make Head's snowboard bindings some of the most eye catching bindings on the market.

My favorite brand of the group Flow, makes snowboard bindings featuring a one piece ankle and toe strap that is sure to keep you boots securely fastened to your board. Flow make some of the lightest most streamlined straps on the market making these binding real performers.

With a look that echoes something from a science fiction movie, the Flow snowboard bindings, give the impression of a binding that is an extension of your foot. With beautiful color schemes and graphics, the Flow bindings are sure to keep your feet in place with style.

What it usually comes down to for most riders is look and price. Every one of these brands features a variety of unique looking models that cater to any taste with feature lists that will benefit anyone, from the beginner to the seasoned rider, these bindings are great for any skill level with prices to match any budget!
