Burton Cartel Bindings By k0b3x on Dec 18, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

The Burton Cartel bindings are one of the more higher end models of bindings that Burton offers. It is a beautifully made binding which comes in many different colors. After upgrading to these from a very cheap model, I can say that these make a HUGE difference. They come with the "cap-strap" which covers your entire toe for more control. The bindings stay very tightly bond to your feet and make it feel like the board is connected to your body. These bindings feature the "sky back" which is the highest back of any binding. I can say that although they are uncomfortable at first, they are better good than bad. Just the look of the bindings on your board scream quality. The downside to these are that if you do not like the sky back, it may not be for you. Also, they are on the pricey side coming in at over 200 dollars. If, however, you want high performance and top of the line equipment, you can't go wrong with Cartels.
