YEAR EIGHT. The perfect binding is more than a mechanism.

It’s more than a tool. It’s more than the sum of baseplate, highback, straps and hardware.

The perfect binding is a catalyst to creating the ultimate connection between rider and board— and that connection spells freedom.

For the past eight years, the Union Binding Company has been dedicated to crafting that connection—flawlessly uniting snowboard and rider through next-level comfort and technology, progressive performance, and dependable, durable components. We are an independent brand founded on supplying snowboarders with the best bindings on the planet.

Product has always come first, and we build it for snowboarders who thrash their gear and expect it to survive.

Our history speaks for itself. Union blew doors in its very first year by building an elite binding that was totally bombproof. With a zero warranty-return rate, we knew we’d created our

foundation for the future. During the following years, we continued to develop and pioneered new materials and processes to the binding market—becoming the first snowboard company to utilize things like Extruded Aluminum, Injected Magnesium, Machined Coring™, MetaFuse Nano Technology, and the list goes on…

Moving into this year, Union is proud to have made improvements across the entire line and written yet another chapter of product design and progression. Working exclusively with Dupont™ Zytel® ST, we continue our commitment to building the lightest, strongest, and best riding snowboard bindings on the market.

Our bindings are injected with the highest-quality Dupont™ Zytel® ST Nylon throughout the entire collection. The result is the strength, safety, security, and confidence of a lifetime warranty on all baseplates and heelcups. If you break, or even crack your baseplate or heelcup during riding, we’ll replace it for life. Guaranteed.

UNION TECHNOLOGY

100% ownership.

100% focus.

Union is 100% devoted making the best bindings on the planet— we live, eat, and breathe it. And every part of the process, from pioneering new materials to CNC machining a new baseplate, is done in-house with zero outsourcing. Every single piece of a Union binding is therefore completely exclusive to Union— you can’t find it anywhere else.

industry firsts.

Union stands firm by its original commitment to the evolution of snowboard bindings. Over the past seven years, Union has introduced new materials, new processes, and pioneered new levels of durability and performance.

These commitments are evidenced by tremendous sell through, and virtually zero warranty. We give snowboarders what they want, and back it up 365 days a year.

01

MetaFuse NanoTechnology

02

Injected Magnesium

03

Extruded Aluminum

Extruded aluminum comes out 100-percent pure and maintains its true shape no matter how much wear and tear you inflict. Union was first to bring the extrusion process to snowboarding and remains the sole company using it.

04

Anodized Aluminum Hardware

By increasing the thickness of the natural surface oxide layer, the anodizing process beefs up a metal’s strength by 30-percent. Drastically lighter than normal hardware.

05

Grade 8.8 Hardware

The most commonly used hardware is made from "mild steel" that has a property class of only 4.6.

But considering how much stress a binding goes through, we use only highest-strength steel (featuring a property class of 8.8) on ALL hardware.

06

Dupont™ ZyteL® ST Nylon

07

Machined Coring

Dupont™ Zytel® ST Nylon coated with ultra-stiff nanocrystalling metal particles 1/75,000 the size of the human hair. Light as a feather, and has the wear resistance of hardened steel.

This high-tech process is four times the strength of aluminum with only half the weight. Plus, magnesium is easily recycled and remains the eighth most abundant material on the planet.

Union uses only the highest-quality Dupont™ Zytel® ST nylon throughout our entire binding collection. The result is the strength, safety, security, and the confidence of a lifetime warranty on all baseplates.

CNC process removes material to decrease overall weight, while maintaining the strength and integrity of each part.

This expensive and time-consuming process demonstrates our commitment to product progression.

True Board Flex

Fiberglass Index

It’s a simple fact—the larger your binding’s baseplate, the more effect it has on the way your board flexes. Union baseplates are designed to provide supreme strength with the smallest footprint possible—crucially reducing interference with a board’s true flex.

Once they’re mounted, bindings create “dead zones”—areas under the baseplates where your board won’t flex. With this in mind, all Union bindings are designed to promote a free, even board flex for sweeter response, better board control, and improved board durability.

Bigger riders require stiffer bindings, so we proportionally increase the fiberglass content from our smallest sizes to the biggest. That’s personalized performance for any rider who straps in.

Dampening/ Anti-Vibration

Asymmetrical/ Multizone Symmetrical Highback Highback

Union’s innovative injected EVA bushing systems dampen vibrations underfoot to promote a more comfortable ride and a smooth, even board flex with no dead spots. Each size comes with its own durometer for custom performance.

Comfort and power unite as one in our groundbreaking Asymmetrical/Symmetrical Highback. We’ve taken our Multizone Highback to the next level by combining the total freedom of movement you want in the air with the strategic support you need to set down the landing gear.

Dupont™ Zytel® ST injected Multizone Highbacks are tapered towards the top, providing flex and tweakability where you want it, support and durability where you need it.

Let’s face it—the chances of your board inserts lining up exactly where you want them are slim to none. By running your disk slots parallel to your board’s edge, you will have a wider range of stance width options. Now you can use your adjustable heelcups and toe ramps to get your feet centered while making your toe/heel adjustment perfect.

Metafuse Nanotech Heelcups The absolute lightest and strongest in snowboarding, MetaFuse heelcups are as good as it gets. Union is one the first companies to bring this technology to the market (in any market)—and when it comes to snowboarding, it’s still exclusive to Union.

Extruded & Anodized Aluminum Tried and true after seven years on the market, every Union heelcup undergoes an anodizing process— reinforcing the already bombproof apparatus with another 30-percent strength. It’s serious strength in a streamline package.

STRAP TECHNOLOGY High-performance, highly comfortable ankle and toe straps keep your feet locked in and on point. It’s called TrueFit™ strap technology, and it includes Multi-Position toe straps for the ultimate in premium personalization.
