2027 Arbor El Camino Snowboard + Utility Jared Elston Binding Package

The Arbor El Camino x Utility package is a full-send setup for riders who like going fast, hitting big stuff and putting some serious force through their gear. The El Camino is Jared Elston’s pro model, and it feels exactly like you’d expect: powerful, aggressive and built to charge. It has the guts to hold on when you’re flying, the snap to launch properly, and enough precision to keep things under control when the line gets serious. Pair it with the Utility and you get a setup that feels brutally direct underfoot, with very little wasted movement between you and the board.

This is the kind of package for riders who want their gear to feel like a weapon. Fast resort laps, big side hits, hard turns, sketchy run-ins, natural features, whatever looks worth sending. The Utility is the perfect match because it follows the same simple, serious idea as the board: strong, responsive and stripped of anything that does not need to be there. Arbor literally built this pairing together in the range, and it makes sense the second you look at what both pieces are trying to do. If your riding style is somewhere between “go faster” and “hit that”, this is very much your setup.

Tech Features

Snowboard

• Parabolic Camber: Full camber performance with smoother engagement towards the tip and tail, giving the El Camino strong edge hold, plenty of energy and a more natural feel into turns.
• Highland III Core: Arbor’s premium lightweight core, using a higher Paulownia content to reduce weight while increasing response and energy return.
• Mixed Glassing: A layer of triaxial fibreglass over a layer of biaxial fibreglass, combining stronger response and stability with enough torsional flex for versatile riding.
• Carbon²: Dual nose-to-tail carbon stringers add extra snap, pop and support through hard take-offs, landings and high-speed riding.
• Grip Tech: Extra heel and toe contact points underfoot increase edge engagement and help the board hold on firm or variable snow.
• Sintered Base: Fast, durable base with strong wax retention for riders who want to carry speed across the mountain.

Bindings

• X-Base 3 Baseplate: Arbor’s high-response platform, designed to transfer power quickly from boot to board for stronger edge engagement and faster response.
• 30% Fibreglass Reinforced Baseplate: Stiffer chassis construction that gives the Utility its direct, supportive feel underfoot.
• Adjustable Aluminium Heelcup: Helps centre the boot in the binding while adding strength through the heel.
• 65A TPE Dampening Pods: Targeted underfoot dampening helps smooth out chatter and rough snow without taking away too much response.
• Single Density EVA Footbed: Cushioned footbed with 2.5° canting for comfort, impact absorption and a more natural stance.
• Asymmetrical Highback: 5° of pre-rotation supports a more natural riding position and gives the binding strong lateral support.
• Cast Aluminium Buckles & Levers: Durable ratchets built for strong, reliable strap tension.
