A highback for controlling a gliding board, such as a snowboard, through leg movement of a rider. The highback is comprised of an upright support member including at least two portions that are to be contacted by and to support a rear portion of the rider's leg and that are movable relative to each other for setting a desired forward lean of the highback. The support member may include a lower portion with a pair of mounting locations for mounting the highback to a gliding board component, such as a snowboard binding, and an upper portion movably supported by the lower portion to vary the forward lean of the highback. The highback may include a forward lean adjuster that that prevents the upper portion from moving in the heel direction beyond a predetermined forward lean position. The forward lean adjuster may be coupled to the upper portion and the lower portion of the highback to maintain the upper portion in the selected forward lean position independent of the gliding board component. A ride/relax feature may be provided to allow a rider to place the highback in either a ride mode in which the highback is fixed in the preselected forward lean position or a relax mode in which the highback is unrestrained so that leg movement is permitted in the heel direction beyond the forward lean position. A locking arrangement may also be provided to lock the highback in an upright riding position to prevent toe-edge travel relative to the board for enhanced board response.

A wiper as defined in claim 1, wherein said wiper further comprises a surfactant.20. A wiper as defined in claim 1, wherein said wiper further comprises a saponin.21. A wiper as defined in claim 1, wherein said wiper further comprises a visual sensor to detect the exhaustion of said anti-microbial agent.22. A wiper as defined in claim 1, comprising an additional fibrous laminate layer adhered to said fibrous substrate layer such that said fibrous substrate layer is positioned between two fibrous laminate layers.23. A wiper as defined in claim 1, wherein said fibrous laminate layer has a basis weight of more than about 10 grams per square meter.24. A wiper as defined in claim 1, wherein said substrate layer is self-adhered to said laminate layer.25. A wiper as defined in claim 1 that will withstand at least 20 rinse cycles without substantially losing its ability to cause the liquid within the wiper after a rinse cycle to become an anti-microbial solution.26. A wiper for disinfecting hard surfaces comprising: a first fibrous laminate layer, said first fibrous laminate layer being capable of absorbing a liquid when contacted therewith, said first fibrous laminate layer being made from a nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of more than about 10 grams per square meter; a second fibrous laminate layer, said second fibrous laminate layer being capable of absorbing a liquid when contacted therewith, said second fibrous laminate layer being made from a nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of more than about 10 grams per square meter; a fibrous substrate layer having fibers therein with individually exposed surfaces thereon, said fibrous substrate layer being positioned between and adhered to said first fibrous laminate layer and said second fibrous laminate layer, said fibrous substrate layer being hydrophobic; and an anti-microbial agent distributed within the fibrous substrate layer and adhered to the individually exposed surfaces of the fibers in the fibrous substrate layer, and incorporated in a stabilized solid state within said fibrous substrate layer, said anti-microbial agent being capable of activation when contacted with water, said activation including the release of a portion of said anti-microbial agent into said liquid that is contained within the wiper such that an anti-microbial solution forms therefrom, the anti-microbial agent being adapted to provide that the rate of said release is such that said anti-microbial agent is released into said liquid in an amount sufficient to form an anti-microbial solution of the liquid within the wiper after said wiper has been repeatedly contacted with water; and said wiper being able to withstand at least 10 rinse cycles without substantially losing its ability to cause the liquid within the wiper after a rinse cycle to become an anti-microbial solution. 27. A wiper as defined in claim 26, wherein said fibrous substrate layer comprises meltblown poly(ethylene vinyl acetate).28. A wiper as defined in claim 26, wherein said anti-microbial agent comprises calcium hypochlorite.29. A wiper having at least two layers, one of said layers being a fibrous hydrophobic sheet comprising fibers having individually exposed surfaces thereon, said sheet having an anti-microbial agent distributed within the fibrous hydrophobic sheet and adhered to the individually exposed surfaces of the fibers in the sheet with sufficient adhesion so that said anti-microbial agent will remain substantially bonded within said sheet until contacted repeatedly with a liquid, the other of said layers being an absorbent fibrous sheet laminated to said fibrous hydrophobic sheet, and said wiper being able to withstand at least 10 rinse cycles without substantially losing its ability to cause the liquid within the wiper after a rinse cycle to become an anti-microbial solution. 30. A wiper as defined in claim 29, further comprising an additional sheet laminated to said fibrous hydrophobic sheet.
