Question

Should I buy burton mission or burton cartel bindings for my snowboard?

I agree  with them. catel are better. But even when somethings crapier it may not matter. Whatever you like is what you like.

Answer 2

cartel they are the best

Answer 3

I would get the cartels if I were you. They are a higher end- better quality binding then the missions.

As quoted on the Burton web site:

The binding turned to by more Burton [and non-Burton] pros than any other enters the next chapter in freestyle mastery. Taking tech to new levels, the Cartel™ unveils the NEW canted Living Hinge™ Team Skyback II® with DialFLAD™. Sounds tech, huh? Benefits of this hi-back include less weight, more strength, increased adjustability, and better yet, a balance of power, comfort, and tweakability never before seen in snowboarding.

They may be more money but it realy does pay to invest in a nice set of bindings. They can last a very long time and travel with you from board to board.

Answer 4

What are you gonna use them for?  Cartels are stiffer and have a more aggressive forward lean making them better for carving and downhill riding.  Missions are more of a park kind of binding.  They are softer, allowing for more flexing, but they still seem to ride fine for anything else.

So, I return to my question, what are you going to use them mostly for?

Answer 5
