The Mercury binding is designed for the all-mountain rider who needs supreme edge control and comfort balanced with a more maneuverable, medium stiff flex. The Mercury will respond instantly to your every move thanks to NOW Skate Tech technology that transfers your energy directly to your edges.
- The binding is equipped with a durable and light Hanger 2.0 baseplate. This baseplate is a whopping 30% glass fiber. This high percentage of glass fiber gives the binding its stiffness and feel.
- The Flex Hinge highback is canted 5 degrees for more control. The highback is wider and supports wider and lower women's calves. This gives the binding a very loose and comfortable feel that invites for playful and creative riding.
- Baseplate: Hanger 2.0 is Nylon reinforced with 30% Glass Fiber
- Heelcup: Glass Fiber
- Highback: Flex Hinge Highback
- The Hybrid Flipit strap is a combination of the regular Flipit strap and the Hyperfuse strap. An extra supportive layer is placed under the EVA layer. Just like the regular Flipit strap you can flip it a 180 degrees to switch from comfort to support.
- The 3D EVA toe straps are guaranteed to give a good snug fit around the nose of any boot. The 3D shape keeps the toe strap from sliding of.

- Toestrap: 3D Flex Fit Toe straps
- Footbed: Post is Nylon, Recycled Carbon Post

- Inspired by how easily and efficiently a skateboard turns, major components of NOW's system mimic both the function and description of skateboard trucks. The Hanger' powerfully transfers energy input from the straps to the bushings and onto the edges of your board. The Kingpin acts as a fulcrum, magnifying this energy through leverage. Traditional bindings diminish energy transfer by the flexing and bending of their baseplate, forcing you to crank your straps down harder, ride with more forward lean, or run taller and stiffer highbacks. This all leads to more foot fatigue and pain. NOW bindings bypass the middle of the snowboard and direct your energy right onto the board's edges. They simply transfer more power to the board with less work, meaning your feet will stay more relaxed and comfortable, longer.
- NOW their PA66-C buckles are made with the same high-grade composite Carbon Fiber blend found in their O-DRIVE hanger. This material is extremely light and strong reducing the overall buckle weight by 20%.
