Description
The Yale is an aluminum heel-cup binding that has memory gel ankle straps and lightweight injected toe straps for superior boot hold. The Yale was created because our team riders were asking for a softer more park specific version of the Magnum binding and this new version is even more refined for better fit and function. Adjustable in almost every way, the Yale is a highly customizable binding for riders that really like to dial in their boot fit, while providing a strong and rigid frame that will provide support in the toughest conditions.

TECH OVERVIEW
Lightweight Design
Our injected straps found on the Magnum and Opus bindings are not only extremely lightweight, but they also eliminate pressure points. Combine this with the lightweight nylon chassis and extruded aluminum heel cup and cast aluminum buckle levers and you have one of the lightest weight bindings on the market today.
The tech from our flagship bindings trickles down to the other products in the Fix line making for excellent quality, durability and value.
Compatible Mounting Discs
Our mounting discs are compatible with both the 4×4 mounting system as well as the 2 hole slider style mounting system. Every pair of bindings comes with the discs as well as 2 sets of hardware so you can mount to any board on the market today.
*Please note the older 3 hole legacy system is not compatible with Fix.
*The Starter kids binding is 4×4 compatible ONLY.
Lifetime Warranty
Since we control our own production, we design and manufacture every component from scratch, right down to the springs and rivets. We’re so confident in the quality and durability that we back our buckles with an industry first, lifetime warranty. Our base trays also have a lifetime warranty against breakage.
All other components have a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase.
Highback Rotation
For the first time ever, every binding in the Fix line-up comes with highback rotation so you can dial in your set-up for the perfect fit, flex and feel.
Dethgrip Hardware
Your mounting hardware will stay extra tight with our unique DETHGRIP Hardware designed to be maintenance free so you can ride more days before you ever need to think about tightening your hardware.
Channel Compatible
Our bindings are compatible with every single snowboard mounting system on the market today including The Channel system. No need for after market discs or hardware, everything you need comes in the box.
Paint Free Nylon
We love experimenting with different colours when we’re developing new product. Despite the numerous colours in our product line we’re proud to say that we’re committed to keeping our injection process paint free. It’s an eco-friendly process which also makes it impossible for your bindings to have its colour scratched off. Believe it or not, nylon gets stronger with age if you let it breathe, so why seal that in with paint?
100% Regrind Free
Our binding box is made from waste from our manufacturing process. This excess plastic (called Regrind) is typically chewed up and injected back into bindings. The problem with this process is that it’s impossible to monitor how much Regrind goes back into your bindings which can make them full of air bubbles like Swiss Cheese. Creating a reusable transportation box for our bindings is not only an environmentally friendly solution but also great for the durability of our bindings.
