Lisa Mersmann I Ullar

Snowboarding has been gaining in popularity over the past few decades. However current binding systems offer room for improvements as most users still have to sit down in the cold snow to strap in. Existing step-in solutions offer little choice in boot variety and moving parts often jam when frozen. Ullar combines the benefits of the established strap- binding with the comfort of a step-in- binding by adding a set of levers to the adjustable straps. This allows to step in easily and close the binding with no extra effort.
