Splitboard STS Kit

About this product

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Black Diamond Splitboard STS Kit for delivering a secure, reliable tail connection on splitboard skins, with the pivoting, half-dome-shaped tail clip widely noted as more secure than flat or two-point alternatives from competing brands. The quick-adjust tail strap and low-profile wire tip clip are appreciated for their ease of use on the mountain. Parts and replacement hardware are also widely available through Black Diamond's broad retail network, which users see as a long-term value. The most common complaints center on initial setup: installation is described as fiddly and time-consuming, and the included instructions are considered unclear, especially for splitboard-specific use. Reviewers also note the STS system fits only a limited range of board lengths once trimmed, and the tail clip can struggle to seat properly on boards with blunted or unusually shaped tails.
