About Northwave Drake 50 Binding: The 50! This is our number one selling binding in the Drake line. With the 50 you’re getting full leather straps on the ankle as well as on the toe with Cordura built onto the front. In case your toe drags in the snow, it’s not going to rip the leather up. You’re getting five position ratchets, so you’re getting five clicks out of each ratchet both on the toe and heel. Quick adjust on the ladder straps. When you move onto the footprint, you’re getting gel in the heel, two positions of gel as well as a full disk cover, which has foam density here as well for dampening. When you move into the heel cup of the binding, you’re getting a 3D molded heel cup, so molded both this direction as well as around. That’s going to be a stiffer more responsive heel cup with an all-mountain highback with a nice solid wrap and bend to the highback. Nice and stiff and responsive. The 50 comes in three colors. This is your citrus yellow color.
