Bindings are the most important piece of snowboarding equipment that you own. Your bindings are a direct connection between you, your board and the snow. All Union bindings will keep you attached to your snowboard, but choosing the right bindings can lead to a better riding experience.
Below is a short guide on how to choose the best bindings for your riding style and snowboard equipment.
Before getting further into adjusting your bindings, make sure you are selecting the right pair for your boot size based upon our SIZE CHART.
With four riding categories to choose from, it's easy to pick a binding that best suits your riding style. From resorts, to the streets, to the back- country, Union has you covered.
Instant edge-to-edge response and stable board connection. The Union All-Mountain Series of bindings deliver a performance advantage in all conditions and terrain. Universal Disks and unyielding bombproof design will be found here.
The Union Freestyle Series bindings are designed for riders looking for the ultimate in freedom, comfort and that “loose truck” feel. Minimal binding-to-board contact is a concept pioneered by Union from day one, and the Freestyle Series showcases the benefits.
Redesigned and retooled, the Expedition series continues to evolve and advance. Focused on the actual “snowboarding” part of splitboarding, the Expedition has quickly gained traction with riders who value ride ability and natural board feel.
Smaller and softer versions of what the pros ride, the Youth Series retain key fundamentals that put Union on the map. They are also the most adjustable kid's bindings on the market.
Union Bindings come in a verity of flex ratings. The baseplate, highback an d ankle straps all have different stiffnesses to help give a specific ride feel and function. Softer flexing bindings are generally used for more surfy or freestyle riding, while stiffer bindings are generally used for more hard charging and responsive all mountain riding. There is no right or wrong when it comes to how you like your bindings to feel. We encourage you to try out different Union Bindings to see what works best for your riding style.
