Backcountry Magazine Gear Guide Editors Choice Awards 2022-23
For the 2nd consecutive year, both our Slipper HD Boot and our M6 Bindings have won the Editors Choice award in Backcountry Magazines Gear Guide Test! We are honored to be recognized with such a prestigous award from our Industry.
The Slipper HD Boot is now available in all sizes from 23 to 30 mondo. We are thrilled to be able to offer the highest performing and most customizable splitboarding boot on the market to a wider range of riders. Both the forward flex of the boot and the forward lean are fully customizable with our patented Link Lever to accomodate virtually any riding preference. The Pivot Buckle provides excellent heel hold for better ride feel and response on those big lines. With a fully heat moldable MemoryFit shell, the fit of the boot can be customized to a riders unique foot for maximum comfort, hence the "Slipper" moniker.
Our M6 Bindings are the most responsive and durable SplitTech bindings on earth. Made of aerospace grade aluminum, the M6 Binding was designed from the deck up, for maximum power transfer and response. 5 degrees of canting provides a natural stance to reduce knee strain, and our patented Quick Flick locking lever system make for easy transitions, even with gloves on. Every feature of the M6 Binding was designed with performance, durability and ease of use in mind.
Phantom is a small company made up of passionate splitboarders who love the sport and the stoke. We meticulously assemble every component by hand at our shop in Denver, CO. We build these products to power your pursuit of powder turns in the mountains, and to take you further, faster.

The World's First Tech Splitboard Bindings.
Born in 2012, Phantom Splitboard Bindings are the first splitboard bindings designed around lightweight alpine touring (AT) boots. While the term "hardbooting" is often used to describe the setup, Phantoms are designed to flex, ride and feel like traditional snowboard bindings and perform as well in deep powder conditions as they do during the spring snowboard mountaineering season. Phantom's SplitTech System combines the best tech-style touring equipment with a patented splitboard binding and interface. In tour mode, this equates to greater efficiency, reduced swing weight, increased confidence when sidehilling and kicking steps, and a more secure method for attaching crampons to your boots. In ride mode, you can expect a reliable and consistent fit and a powerful connection to the board, which translates to better board response and ride feel.
Built For Guides, Snowboard Mountaineers, And Anyone Looking To Charge Harder. The SplitTech Revolution Has Begun!
Reviews
Phantom Rider Testimonials
Phantoms are the best splitboard binding I’ve used. I’ve been splitboarding for over 20 years and this is the simplest and most reliable system I’ve used. I raced skimo for almost ten years and knowing how well that ultralight gear works made splitboarding extra difficult. The Phantom setup brings the light weight efficiency of skimo race gear to snowboarding, which is amazing!
After using and testing Phantoms during the last month, in a range of alpine conditions, I can only say that I’m pleased I’ve made the switch... After investing in a new system it is always a relief to know that you made the right decision.
Received my order for M6 Bindings, Cleats, Tech Toes, Rocket Risers and Link Levers and have been enjoying them here around Chamonix. I am really stoked, I can say with confidence that I’m not going back to soft boots any time soon. The Backlands with Link Levers are a game changer! So much weight savings it’s ridiculous. And they ride amazing too. Thanks so much for making an amazing product!
