Burton Hitchhiker

The Burton Hitchhiker is a high-performance splitboard binding developed in collaboration with Spark R&D. It combines Spark's industry-standard Tesla T1 baseplate technology with Burton's proprietary strap and highback designs to provide a reliable interface for backcountry snowboarding. It is widely recognized for its 'negative lean' highback feature, which improves comfort during the 'skinning' or climbing phase of backcountry tours.
