These K2 Bliss Snowboard Bindings are completely customizable for any type of snowboarding. These bindings are sleek, comfortable and simple to put on. With an A-Line base late and ergonomic high back the Bliss bindings flex left and right as you would carve. They also come with the EVA shock pads and padded straps. In the past it has always been a real trial to strap up bindings in a timely manner and it was also difficult to grab a hold of the clips.
K2 Bliss Bindings had Aluminum Rachets that make strapping them up blissful. Made with multi compatible discs there is pretty much nothing you can’t do with the K2’s. My girlfriend recently got a pair of these and she finds them to be rather stiff at first but after a few runs they seem to fit better or contour to your snowboarding boots. She had no difficulty adjusting the rachets and loves the amount of side to side flexion that these bindings provide.
