Boardworks Breakdown:
If you are looking for a split binding that works without any fuss, Spark R&D’s T1 system is one of the most solid options out there. The Nitro Vertical is based off the Spark Arc, which is also one of the lightest bindings on the market. The Nitro version has an upgraded highback, Vibram toe straps, upgraded ankle strap, and comes with the EVA foam pad pre-installed on the binding. In our opinion, it’s a better version of the Arc with extra bells and whistles, for only a few bucks more than the regular model.
