Whether you're pulling back flips in the backcountry or mute 7s in the park, Burton's Mission Snowboard Binding pummels the entire mountain with freestyle prowess. Burton kept the Mission Binding's weight down by using an ultralight highback and a reinforced-nylon baseplate. Ample EVA padding eliminates chatter when you're charging, absorbs impact from big drops, and keeps your feet happy from dawn until dusk. The Burton Primo Capstrap toe strap eliminates pressure points at your toes and pushes your heels back into the binding for unreal control. Loosen the padded, 3D Superstrap ankle straps with their polished, smooth operating buckles for park runs or quickly crank them down when dropping into sketchy chutes. *Available for US Shipment Only. -

Bottom Line: The Burton Mission Binding makes any mountain its playground.
I've had these bindings for 2 years. Fantastic! Put three solid months on these guys one season (yes, about 90 days of pow and park). Worked great with my boots (Burton Rulers). I think that some of the people who have had complaints about these either don't have burton boots or don't know how to ride without breaking their gear. The high backs are great for long backside days and you can move enough in them that you can still put in down in the park. The only complaint I have is that I forget sometimes to put my backs down when I get on the lift and the padding got tore up pretty good the first few times I went out, but other then that ZERO complaints.
These are my first bindings; they're great, but I can see some minor flaws already. The clip on the toe strap came loose on me and actually broke free on a run. I thought it was a freak accident, then the opposite foot's toe strap started sticking.
On another note, the bindings handle well. Turning is easy, and when the straps are holding tight, they keep great control. Get them if you don't have the money for higher priced bindings. They won't let you down... if you keep a screw driver in your jacket.
I have 07 missions, def my fave bindings out of the 6 pairs I own or have owned. Great for all mountain or pow. Stiff with just the right ammount of flexiness. Mine came with the opition to use toe caps or toe straps. Love em. They might not be the best out there but they are not $500 either. They are the best Middle of the road priced bindings though by far!!
