The HO Syndicate Hardshell Boot and Binding System has proven to be one of the most popular binding systems on the market. This year's improvements to this favorite model include a brand new Pro Plate that is now aluminum and has longer screw slots for more adjustment forward and backward. The liner has also been updated, being thinner throughout, for better performance, feedback, and connection to the ski. This Hardshell System creates maximum reliability, performance, and adjustability. The release mechanism employs an adjustable spring-loaded heel unit that allows for tension release point modification in relation to skier weight and preference. Unique to the industry is the Full Contact Outsole. This contoured heel-and-toe zone enables full contact between boot and plate, thereby stabilizing the connection by reducing lateral slippage and increasing agility. The lightweight yet reliable snow ski inspired boot buckles allow for personalized tightening. Use the buckle ladder to tighten or spin the buckle for a more customized fit. The Memory Buckle allows you to get a consistent tightness on the upper cuff every time you ski. Added surface area and 50% more thickness on the protective-coated stainless steel toe hoop add even more reliability to the system. The heel release mechanism has been updated with a stainless steel finish, making it longer lasting even in salt or brackish water. In addition, the new stainless steel release arms are more vertically angled to better keep the heel solidly connected to the plate. This also provides more room for the backfoot, for those who prefer a narrower stance or those with a taller back boot.• New Aluminum Pro Plate is sleeker, more performance-based with longer adjustment slots for more mounting options on skis with traditional hole patterns.• New medium volume liner has thinner, higher performance foam, as well as thinner liner sole for better connection to ski.• Stainless steel release mechanism is longer lasting, even in salt water.
