New Colors for Split30 Splitboard Bindings
For 2012-2013 we’ve decided to add two new colors to the Split30 Splitboard Bindings, white and red. We’re big fans of the black, but we wanted to give customers a couple more options to choose from. I really like the way the red splitboard bindings pop on my board, but I’d have to say the [...]
