I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The Spark R & D 22/23 Arc ST Pro Bindings:

The Arc ST Pro Splitboard Binding is the epitome of lightweight performance, designed specifically for avid backcountry enthusiasts who prioritize speed and agility. Built by Spark R & D, a trusted name in splitboarding gear, this binding is perfect for gram-counters looking to venture deep into uncharted territory.

This remarkable binding offers a similar performance to Spark's original Arc Binding but with a weight reduction that will make your skinning experience effortless. By utilizing state-of-the-art engineering techniques, Spark R & D has succeeded in making this binding thinner and lighter, enhancing your overall touring capabilities.

One key innovation is the introduction of carbon reinforcement in the Rip 'N' Flip highback. This ingenious addition not only maintains moderate stiffness but also significantly reduces unnecessary weight. You'll experience optimal performance without any compromises.

But the engineering prowess doesn't stop there. Spark R & D has implemented their "ST" (Smooth Touring) technology throughout the binding, which minimizes friction in critical connection points. Furthermore, they've incorporated a groundbreaking overmolding process that enhances performance and durability to a whole new level.

Here are the details you need to know:

  • Spark R & D's high-performing split binding made even lighter
  • Carbon-reinforced highback for unmatched stiffness
  • Pebax Pillow Line straps ensure consistent stiffness and toughness
  • ST Whammy bar climbing wire with two heel risers for steep skinners
  • ST stands for "Smooth Touring" for friction-free connection overmolds
  • Snap ramps lock baseplate securely without the need for pins, cables, or brackets

Experience the ultimate in splitboarding performance with the Spark R & D 22/23 Arc ST Pro Bindings!
