Bindings for NS Proto - Snowboarding Forum

swanesy · 01-29-2012, 04:56 PM

I know there are a lot of threads out there for specific bindings for the Proto CT, but I'm having a tough time figuring out which of these is the right fit for me. Haven't gotten the chance to demo any of them and would love some feedback about these three, willing to look into other options but have narrowed it to these: Union Atlas (Purple), Burton Malavita (Violent/Purple), Flux TT30 (Red).

I spend as much time in the park as I do just cruisin around the mountain. Got the Proto to fulfill that all mountain freestyle/park board and want bindings that are catered to do the same type of riding. The Flux TT30 seems like it's primarily a park binding but love the red and think it'd be a real sick setup. I'm not a big name type, hence the NS love, but am kinda feeling the Vita's for some reason and don't know why. One of the main reasons I'm writing is for the size of bindings and want to hear out people's experience/knowledge as I ride Vans Encore size 10...fits right into that M/L size and I don't want to get a binding that I'm gonna be swimmin in when I can fit my boot into a M.

thanks..ride on

Hey man, I got a Proto CTX at the start of the season and got some Flux RK30's, the lime green ones, they match part of the graphic perfectly. Best decision i've ever made! I'm rocking a size 9.5 and I almost wish I had gotten the L bindings. I haven't really hit the park much this season, mostly just tree runs and stuff but i'm in love with this setup! Hope it helps!

I've got Raiden Blackhawk on my Proto. I LOVE those bindings. Might be a bit stiff if you are more freestyle-oriented. You could look into the Phantoms. I think the orange ones would look great on the Proto.

Of those you listed, I only tried the Malavitas (on a Burton board) and much prefer my Raidens.

Thanks for the feedback, definitely won't try and fit my boot into a M if I go with the Flux's. From what I've read their the least stiff of the three and feel like it'd be mad fun to throw on a med-flex board. I just keep flip flopping between the three of them. I guess what's really weighing on me are the cap straps, the Vitas are crucial, have heard that the TT30's and Atlas's cap strap is pretty bunk.
