Flux Binding This is a model from about three years ago. It's not too stiff and not too soft, making it a great all-around binding for anything. The excellent feature of this model is that it can be adjusted without tools, as there are no screws or bolts on the straps or highbacks. Also, the durability of the straps, etc., is a great feature of Flux. The color has faded. This is a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. The straps were replaced last year, so I don't think they will break easily. Thank you.
