Burton Missions 2008

These are my replacement bindings for my broken Option 604's, and boy can I notice the difference already!

It is my first time riding with toe caps, so that obviously must make up for a lot of the difference but there are many great features that make these bindings superior.

They are very nicely cushioned, both under foot, and on the straps, which allow you to do your bindings up that extra little bit, without completely stopped all circulation to your foot. The rachets seem very solid and durable so far..

Looks wise - they are pimp as! Mine are pictured below - white and camo, with a bit of gold bling to shine in the sun...

The high backs and toe caps make for a very responsive binding.

My only problem is that it can be a touch hard to do up your straps at times, because you kind of have to line up the ladder with the rachet properly, or it won't go in straight. Maybe I just need to adjust the length of each side and this will help this problem, but I thought I would post a negative on them anyway..

I don't think anyone who purchased a set of these could possibly be disappointed with them. I got mine for CA$230 so they are VERY good value for what you get.

hey Zuccs , nice bindings , I have 07 missions , If you rotate your high backs (and you should) you will find that the adjuster screws are crap , let me know when you find this and I will fill you in on how to fix it , Also if you are finding the toe caps are the ones that are hard to strap up , i.e. they don't line up easily , I can fill you in on why and how to fix this as well .
Acctually I will tell you about the toe cap strap now , if you look at the ratchet which is attached to the cap it is fitted on an angle not flat accross the cap but the other side with the stap is , so then if you look at your base plate it has two slots for the strap ends to go in , so put your inside strap in the rear slot and your outside strap in the front slot and you will find that they then line up perfect , also if you do this you will find that your toe cap sits better on the front of your boot !
check it out and you will see what i mean.

I will have to give this a shot mate..

And whilst I think about it - these bindings came with a Burton stomp pad and leash included, so that's another plus for them!

yeah yeah,
nice looking and comfortable bindings
but how long before they FALL TO BITS.
im not a fan of burton bindings at all. top of the range burton bindings are good but you can get alot more bang for yor buck with other brands.
im super stoked with my flux titan bindings, they got the good toe cap strap and look way more steezy. think outside the square,
why do people buy burton everything?
