Lamar Snowboard Bindings
Snowboard bindings are an integral piece of a snowboard's equipment. Your bindings directly connect to the board, transferring any movement to the board itself. The Lamar brand offers a wide array of snowboard bindings in different sizes and styles.
What boots can you use with Lamar bindings?
Most Lamar bindings are wrap versions otherwise known as "strap-ins." These bindings use two straps that cover the ankle area and the toes. Most freestyle snowboard boots are compatible as long as the sizing is correct. A good fit between strap-ins and boots will feel snug, but not overly tight. Your boots should still be able to flex in the bindings without any slippage.
Are there different sizes for Lamar bindings?
Lamar brand strap-ins come in three different sizes, including small, medium, and large. You should pick the one that correlates with your boot. A small model will fit boot sizes four to six. A medium model is appropriate for boot sizes five to nine. A large version of snowboard bindings will accommodate boot sizes in the range of nine to thirteen.
What width should you use when mounting Lamar snowboard bindings?
When installing your strap-ins, you should aim for a shoulder-to-shoulder distance between the two. There are a few things you should do to find the right width for the binding on your snowboard.
- Measure your stance by standing with your legs apart at a width slightly larger than your shoulders.
- Match this distance with the holes in the mounting pattern of the snowboard.
- Screw in the Lamar strap-ins, ensuring that every hole is attached to the snowboard.
- Wear your boots and step into the bindings to see if the width is comfortable.
- Re-adjust as necessary so that the Lamar strap-ins match your natural stance.
What are the correct angles for installing Lamar bindings?
The general recommendation when installing Lamar bindings on a snowboard is to set the back strap-in at zero degrees. This means the strap-in will be perpendicular to the long edge of your snowboard. The front strap-in should be set at a slight angle to allow for comfort and control. Most snowboarders choose to set the angle somewhere around fifteen degrees. If you happen to find Lamar strap-ins that fit another board the installation process may differ. Most snowboards use a different style of bolt mounting patterns.
