Don't worry dude, there's plenty of us who fit into the corner for our own unique reasons!
Might be worth you investing in different gloves, you shouldn't have a gap at the end of the fingertip - not good for feel but also not good for insulation either. |

Must be dodgy fidley rental bindings cause I've never EVER heard of this being a problem for anyone.
I pretty sure I could undo mine with my elbows, I'd make a video to put this to the test but I can't be arsed.
If your serious about snowboarding the sooner you buy your own gear the better for so many reasons, and this being one of the odder ones.  |

FYI i was refering to both undoing and doing them up. I've always had a hand eye co-ordination issue with gloves and no-gloves (as even with thinner gloves your fingers are still thicker then they should be).
The gloves I have are surfanic make but don't really fit snuggly around my finger tips, maybe thats where the main issue is. I don't actually own my own board only used rental/lesson equipment so far!
Guess i'll just go be weird in the special corner
1. What bindings do you have?
2. Even when you use your fingers, do you still find it hard to put the bindings on? If so, you might want to consider adjusting the strap/buckle location of your bindings to fit better and easier around your boots.
Taking the bindings off should really be a zilch, I mean all you do is push against the bindings and they should just lift up  |

if your finding it a problem flows may be the solution. one big handle that you click in at the time.
im not turning this into a flow bindings are amazing thing. I use mine for general boarding when im with skiiers (they dont like how long it takes to put bindings on) but i found when you are cold you can clump them on and no problems. Have found though if i want to do any jumps i need to make sure they are tight. |

Flow users fall into two categories
1) Those who are sponsored by flow
or
2) Those who have not spent enough time reading threads on this forum.
