Abstract
The invention relates to a snowboard binding including a baseplate and at least one strap formed from at least one strap part articulated relative to one side of the baseplate, capable of interacting with fastening mechanisin connected on the other side of the baseplate in order to allow gripping of the user's boot in the binding. This binding is defined in that each strap part has two stable equilibrium positions, namely an open position in which the strap part is released from the front of the binding and a closed position in which the strap part is folded down over the front of the binding in order to interact with the fastening mechanism, the articulation of the strap part relative to the binding being arranged in order that, between these two positions, the strap part is displaced automatically toward one of the two stable positions.
