Straps
Sieva Straps – The new Sieva ankle strap is an evolution of Hyperfuse construction. The word Sieva means single-injected EVA. The body of the strap is made entirely with one-part EVA injection, eliminating any stitching and reducing gluing to less than 1% of the strap area. A nylon webbing that is strong, durable and flexible is inserted in the body of the strap at one end and sealed by a micro-injected logo. After turning heads with their Hyperfuse last year, NOW has decided to push the boundary of strap manufacturing and overall design. This new Sieva strap is about durability, comfort and reducing weight.

Additional Features
Skate-Tech – Inspired by how easily and efficiently a skateboard turns; major components of Now's system mimic both the function and description of skateboard trucks. The Hanger powerfully transfers energy input from the straps to the bushings and onto the edges of your board. The Kingpin acts as a fulcrum, magnifying this energy through leverage. Traditional bindings diminish energy transfer by the flexing and bending of their baseplate, forcing you to crank your straps down harder, ride with more forward lean, or run taller and stiffer highbacks. This all leads to more foot fatigue and pain. NOW Bindings bypass the middle of the snowboard and direct your energy right onto the board's edges. They simply transfer more power to the board with less work, meaning your feet will stay more relaxed and comfortable, longer. NOW tool-less adjuster straps

Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced
Ability Level
Intermediate-AdvancedThe majority of skiers/snowboarders fall into this level, whether you like to carve on groomers or venture into the powder. These skis/snowboards may be somewhat wider than beginner-intermediate skis, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Depending on the type of ski, intermediate-advanced level skis may have full camber, rocker, or some combination of the two.
Flex Rating: Medium More
Flex Rating
MediumThe amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
