The invention consist of a tool-less system applied for adjusting the wrist-strap and the toe-strap on snowboard bindings, where such tool-less system is made up with the combination of 3 elements, 1. It is tool-less so the attachment position of the binding strap can be unlocked from one position on the binding frame and locked into another position fairly easily with bare hands 2. It has a stable locking mechanism based on a profiled press-button/pin element fitting into at least one hole with profiled shape provided in the frame of the binding where also at least one hole provided in the strap(s) will fit in and be securely locked in when the button element is put in place 3. The press-button element is put in place from the inside and prevented from popping out during use also by the boot which blocks the only exit direction for the button element, which is inwards. The wrist-strap will further be prevented from popping out by the highback, which during riding covers the button element holding the wrist-strap in place. The toe-strap may further be prevented from popping out by the base-plate.

1. A binding for a snowboard, the binding comprising a binding frame coupled with a base-plate, one or more binding straps, and a strap adjustment system removably coupling each of the binding straps to the binding frame, the binding frame comprising an inside and an outside, wherein the strap adjustment system comprises: I. a plurality of attachment points, each attachment point comprising at least one hole extending through the binding frame;II. locking mechanism comprising a press-button element having a head section, an intermediate section, and an outer section, wherein the press-button element is constructed to fit into the at least one hole of the attachment points, wherein the press-button element is constructed to be inserted and removed through the inside of the binding frame and without using tools, and wherein when the press button element is in an inserted position in one of the holes of the plurality of the attachment points, the head section is aligned with the inside of the binding frame and the outer section is aligned with the outside of the binding frame such that the press-button element does not protrude beyond the inside and the outside of the binding frame; andIII. at least one hole on each of the one or more binding straps,wherein each of the holes on the one or more binding straps corresponds to a hole on one of the attachment points when an end of one of the binding straps is positioned into the binding frame so that the press-button element mates with the hole on one of the attachment points and the corresponding hole on the binding strap positioned into the binding frame when the holes are aligned, and the binding strap is securely locked in when the press-button element is inserted through the aligned holes from the inside of the binding. 2. A binding for a snowboard according to claim 1, wherein the binding further comprises a highback. 3. A binding for a snowboard according to claim 2, wherein the highback comprises a normal position and a forward position, and wherein the highback is tilted to the forward position while the press-button element is installed, and wherein in the normal position the highback blocks the press-button element from popping out. 4. A binding for a snowboard according to claim 1, wherein the base-plate is removable, and wherein the base-plate is removed while the press-button element is installed, and when the base-plate is coupled with the binding frame, the base plate blocks the press-button element from popping out. 5. A binding for a snowboard according to claim 1, wherein the press-button element is made of a resilient material allowing it to be pressed into position with a moderate force, and wherein the press-button element has a perimeter that is bigger than the at least one hole extending through the binding frame. 6. A binding for a snowboard according to claim 1, wherein the head section is constructed to couple with one of the holes on the binding frame and the intermediate section is constructed to couple with one of the holes on the binding strap positioned in the binding frame, and wherein the intermediate section comprises a smaller radius than the head section thus providing a grip-point for the binding strap positioned in the binding frame to lock the press-button element when the binding strap positioned in the binding frame is tightened. 7. A binding for a snowboard according to claim, 1, wherein the press-button element comprises one pin, two pins or three pins, which is/are inserted from the inside. 8. A binding for a snowboard according to claim 1, wherein the press-button elements are made of plastic material, or plastic material with a metal core. 9. A binding for a snowboard according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the binding straps comprises a profiled strap constructed to bend outwards from the binding when not in use. 10. The binding of claim 9, wherein the profiled strap comprises a cross sectional profile having a curve transverse to a longitudinal direction of the profiled strap. 11. The binding of claim 1, wherein the binding comprises two binding straps, and wherein the two binding straps are independently adjustable. 12. The binding of claim 1, wherein at least one of the plurality of attachment points comprises two or more holes extending through the binding frame, and wherein the holes are positioned in a row generally aligned with a bottom edge of the binding frame. 13. The binding of claim 1, wherein at least one of the plurality of attachment points comprises two or more holes extending through the binding frame, and wherein the holes are positioned in a row generally aligned with a top edge of the binding frame. 14. The binding of claim 1, wherein the strap adjustment system allows for adjustment of a position of the one or more binding straps in a front-to-back direction. 15. The binding of claim 1, wherein the binding frame at each attachment point comprises an inner wall and an outer wall separated by a gap, and wherein the hole extending through the binding frame comprises a hole extending through the inner wall and a hole extending through the outer wall, and wherein the press-button element comprises a profile comprising a first perimeter at the head section, a second perimeter at the intermediate section, and a third perimeter at the outer section, and wherein the first and third perimeters are different from the second perimeter.
