The most responsive binding in our women’s binding collection, the Path is a freeride-focused binding with a premium feature set. Lightweight, strong, and built to give riders unrivaled board control, the Path features our castor-bean based DD1 ankle strap – a dual-density strap that contours the shape of the boot, and speeds up edge-to-edge transitions.
By utilizing eco-conscious and recycled materials instead of plastics and EVA, we have made significant strides in sustainability. Our manufacturing process relies on over 40% solar-powered energy, and our packaging is FSC certified, utilizing cardboard and recycled paper instead of plastics.
As a result, we have achieved impressive reductions in our carbon footprint – it’s not perfect, but it’s a click in the right direction:

K2’s proprietary rubber compound, integrated onto the bottom of our Module chassis, provides vibration damping and cushion between board and binding, reducing fatigue and joint impact.
We always want to put Mother Nature first. To do this, we prioritized our time, energy, and resources into developing a product that not only performs best in class but has a smaller environmental impact than a traditional snowboard binding. Using Eco-Conscious and recycled materials in place of the plastics and EVA that are traditionally used to manufacture highbacks, ankle straps, toe straps, ratchets, and more.
As a result, we have achieved impressive reductions in our carbon footprint – it’s not perfect, but it’s a click in the right direction.
