HEMLOCK MEN'S SNOWBOARD BINDING - 2025
Engineered to be park and street-oriented, the Hemlock is softer but noticeably responsive. Featuring an upgraded Hemlock 2 asymmetrical highback, 15% fiberglass System X baseplate, adjustable heel cup, and plant-based BioStrap – the Hemlock is a rider’s choice for intermediate to advanced level freestyle performance.
CHASSIS
- System X Baseplate: Arbor's System X baseplate limits the binding’s direct contact with the board to the disk and convergence zones, creating a more natural flex underfoot, reducing binding flat spots, and eliminating rigid board contact. When paired with an Arbor Snowboard, the System X design improves the activation of Arbor’s Grip Tech contact points. This unique binding / board interaction provides maximum performance at speed, in the steeps, and through any turn, carve, or spin.
- Adjustable Aluminum Heelcups: Made from durable extruded aluminum. Offers amazing adjustability. Use the heelcup to center your foot and the disk to fine-tune your stance width. Lifetime warranty.
- 2x4 Mini Disk: Mini Discs require less surface area and along with the System X help provide a more organic snowboard flex underfoot. Channel compatible.
- EVA Footbed: Full length EVA footbed provides a lightweight dampening layer.
- 50A Durometer Outsole: The outsole is a dampening interface made from a special TPE Rubber. It integrates with the System X design, sitting between the binding and a rider’s snowboard. The outsole diffuses high–frequency chatter while providing rebound and cushion for high–impact landings.
- Lifetime Warranty on Baseplates: Arbor extends a lifetime warranty on all binding’s baseplates and heelcups, and ensures all other binding components are free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase from an Authorized Dealer.
HIGHBACK
- Asymmetrical Highbacks: Features mounted asymmetrical highbacks with 5Âş pre-rotation for an ergonomic feel and freedom of movement.
STRAPS
- Bio Strap: Arbor’s plant-based BioStrap takes the place of harmful petrol-based plastics focusing on heel lock and secure fit, with a comfortable curvature and low profile, single-injection ankle and toe straps. Stronger, lighter, more sustainable, and the first of its kind.
- Bow Strap Adjuster: Arbor’s proprietary pre-curved “Bow-Strap” adjusters & ladders actively swing away from a binding to help open the footbed, making binding entry easy and more hands-free.
- Cast Aluminum Buckles & Levers: Ultra-reliable performance, with long-term durability and a tighter, stronger click for an unparalleled boot-to-binding connection.
