As the most freestyle-focussed binding in the Now collection, the Brigade is perfect for riders looking for a more playful binding that works great in the park but delivers exceptional performance when riding around the mountain. Utilising the advanced SkateTech Hanger 2.0 baseplate combined with the freestyle FM Highback, the Brigade delivers exceptional response and control combined with unrestricted lateral flex, giving the binding its optimum balance of freestyle feel and all-terrain performance. That dual personality is further enhanced with the all-new flippable Asym FS ankle strap. This innovative strap design allows you to flip the straps over and change the personality of the binding even more. Fit them one way round, and you have a responsive strap that locks the boot in place for increased control and response. Flip it the other way, and you have a looser, more skate-inspired strap for a playful ride.

NOW BRIGADE TECHNOLOGY
Skate Tech:
Traditional bindings diminish energy transfer by the flexing and bending of their baseplate, forcing you to crank your straps down harder, ride with more forward lean, or run taller and stiffer highbacks; this leads to more foot fatigue and pain. NOW bindings bypass the middle of the snowboard and direct your energy straight to the board's edges. They do this by mounting the baseplate via their exclusive Kingpin design. Taking its inspiration from skateboard trucks, this kingpin acts as a fulcrum, transferring power directly to both the board's toe and heel side edges. The increased efficiency means you ride with less effort and don't need to crank your straps so tight, so you get increased performance and can also ride for longer.
Hanger 2.0:
The 30% Glass Hanger 2.0 offers a widened heel cup footprint when compared to the original Hanger 1.0. to improve boot-fitting compatibility. The drop-down medial wall adds lateral flexibility, while snow clearing channels prevent ice build-up underneath the highback legs.
Asym FS Strap:
Less is more! This minimalist ankle strap features the same geometry footprint as the FRS strap but in a much more mellow environment. If you’re looking for a softer strap but still want comfort, durability and Flip-it functionality, then this is the one’s for you!
FM Highback:
- Minimalist design • Medial & lateral kerf for added • Higher medial side follows leg angles
- Pre rotated 10 degrees • Flex rating 4
3D Stretch Fit Toe Strap
Sometimes what works best is a simple, streamlined, minimalist design, and for this we give you a 3D strap with Stretch-fit technology allowing for better toe cap fit
PA66GF Buckles
PA66-GF buckles are made with the same high-grade Nylon and Glass Fiber blend found in our Now's
and disc. This material is light and strong.
Hinge Connector
The Hinge Connector design allows the straps to move out of the way when stepping in and out.
It is strong and durable and helps reduce strap damage and wear.
