The Syndicate Hardshell Boot & Binding System has proven to be one of the most popular binding systems on the market. This year we've made some key improvements to this industry favorite model. A brand new Pro Plate, which is now aluminum, has longer screw slots for more adjustment forward and backward. The Liner has also been updated, being thinner throughout, for better performance, feedback and connection to the ski. This Hardshell system creates maximum reliability, performance, and adjustability. The release mechanism employs an adjustable spring loaded heel unit that allows for tension release point modification in relation to skier weight and preference. Unique to the industry is our Full Contact Outsole. This contoured heel and toe zone enables full contact between boot and plate thereby stabilizing the connection by reducing lateral slippage and increasing agility. The light weight yet reliable snow ski inspired boot buckles allow for personalized tightening. Use the buckle ladder to tighten or spin the buckle for a more customized fit. The Memory Buckle allows you to get a consistent tightness on the upper cuff every time you ski. We've added surface area and 50% more thickness to the Protective Coated Stainless Steel Toe Hoop, adding even more reliability to the system. We've updated the Heel Release Mechanism with a Stainless Steel finish, making it longer lasting even in salt or brackish water. In addition, the new Stainless Steel Release Arms are more vertically angled to better keep the heel solidly connected to the plate. This also provides more room for the backfoot, for those who prefer a narrower stance or those with a taller back boot.  Syndicate Hardshell is offered as a FRONT BOOT only. It pairs beautifully with a Venom Boot or a Classic Rear Toe Plate FEATURES NEW Pro Plate: Aluminum plate with more mounting options NEW Medium Volume Liner, thinner, better performance Stainless Steel Release Mechanism Protective Coated Stainless Steel Toe Hoop Injection Molded Hardshell Boot Adjustable Release Unit Injection Molded Full Contact Outsole Aluminum Micro-Adjust Buckles Top Memory Buckles DETAILS NEW Pro Plate: sleeker, performance based Aluminum plate with longer adjustment slots for more mounting options on skis with traditional hole patterns NEW Medium volume liner: thinner, higher performance foam, as well as thinner liner sole for better connection to ski.
