The Salomon Highlander binding is engineered for the rider who wants a seamless connection to their board without sacrificing comfort or response. It pairs a lightweight, responsive chassis with Salomon’s ShadowFit tech for natural board feel and confident control across the mountain.

Why we like it:

It hits that sweet spot: it’s responsive and energetic enough for technical terrain, but still smooth and forgiving enough for long days of mixed riding.

Who it's for:

All-mountain riders who want a mid-to-responsive flex with a premium fit and feel. Great for those who value quick power transfer and a binding that disappears underfoot.

Highlights:

The Highlander uses a 45% fiberglass ShadowFit baseplate with Kevlar Quickwire reinforcement to maximize energy return and lateral mobility. The 3D Minima highback is pre-rotated for ergonomic fit and streamlined support, while the Response Pad underfoot absorbs chatter and keeps you locked in without feeling harsh. New Ultra-Fit toe straps and micro-adjustable heel straps refine the fit even further, giving this binding an extremely well-rounded, customizable feel.

Things to consider:

Riders who want ultra-stiff, freeride-specific power may find the flex a little mellow; this is tuned more for versatility than brute-force edge hold.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Fits all major mounting systems. Tool-free strap and toe ramp adjustments allow easy setup tweaks on the fly.
