What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I recommend the Acacia Binding to any rider who's starting out or looking to build confidence all over the mountain. The pre-curved Bow Straps are super easy to use, and the EVA footbed takes the sting out of choppy runs."The Arbor Acacia Binding is designed for those transformative seasons when we start linking turns with purpose and riding the whole resort with growing confidence. Arbor built the Acacia around a single-mold baseplate and heel cup, keeping things responsive, lightweight, and dialed from the first drop-in to the last lap of the day. It’s mid-flexing without feeling vague, making it the ideal setup to explore groomers, side hits, and sidecountry transitions. Comfort comes standard with a canted EVA footbed that cushions landings and keeps your stance aligned. Tool-free strap adjustments and asymmetrical highbacks let us tweak on the fly, while the Bow Straps naturally pop out of the tray for smooth entry. Whether it's our first season or we’re refining fundamentals, the Acacia’s supportive design and forgiving feel help us ride with more confidence every day.
