  • Patent number: 6390492
    Abstract: A soft boot snowboard binding system having tool-less adjustments to permit a custom fit for maximum comfort and control. The adjustments, once made, are secure against unwanted release caused by environmental elements or hard use. A quick-release lever and buckle provide fast in and out action upon easy manual operation of the buckle, but resists all unwanted releases or jamming from snow build-up. A tool-less forward lean adjuster carries a concealed philips screwdriver bit which inserts into the adjuster plate to provide a screwdriver to tighten mounting screws or other fasteners on the snowboard binding, as needed.
