splitboard

I'm riding in backcountry for a few years with "raquettes" snowshoes (?) and
my board on my back.

Is there now good splitboards, that you can use without a toolcase on the
top?

Thanks

Never tried one of these (I would like to) but I believe that both Burton
and Voille do them.

Prior makes one too... it uses Voile's hardware.

I helped a friend of mine split a board and mount the Voille system.
It works well. It's a little difficult to swith out in the cold with
gloves on but it's pretty solid. It usually only takes a couple of
minutes to do the switch.

Bomberonline also makes a kit. Haven't seen it except on their
website. They are a local company for me and I have heard nothing but
good things about their products.

In either case, if you are handy with tools you can get a board you
like and do it yourself.

I haven't used any of these products, but I've checked in to the
chatter on websites and the like:

So, there's two binding hardware standards right now: burton and
voile. Consensous seems to be Voile has the better design. Bomber
(www.bomberonline.com) makes sturdy hardboot bindings compatable with
the voile setup.

As for boards, there's Voile, Burton, and Prior. Censensous seems to
be the Voile board is a little to soft in flex. Haven't heard much
about the prior split specificly, but their other boards have a fairly
good reputation. The splittail splitboard is a cool idea tho. A lot
of people opt to split their own board so that they can have the good
voile hardware with a board more to their liking.

Check the discussion area of www.couloirmag.com, there's a lot of good
splitboard info in there. The magazine is also working on a splitboard
comparison which should be posted on the website in a month or so.

When I was at the Prior factory near Whistler, they were making a *lot* of
split swallow tails. The manager said that it was their most popular
board at that time.
