Union ST Snowboard Bindings 2017

Whether you're the type of dude who's hard on their stuff, or you're just fed up with cheesy construction that breaks after a few solid uses, the Union ST Snowboard Bindings are worth a serious gander. First and foremost, the 'ST' stands for 'Super Tough', but Union doesn't stop there; these boot-holders are backed by a limited lifetime warranty, so you know they're built to last. Beyond that, the ST Bindings feature extruded 3D aluminum heelcups for a performance oriented heel hold, multi-density EVA "Over the Edge" padding for impact absorption, and Bone-Out Straps for enduring comfort. It's tough to go wrong with the Union ST Snowboard Bindings.

Product Details

Baseplate

Stage V BaseplateBacked with a Lifetime Warranty, the Stage V Duraflex Base is designed for riders looking for stripped down performance that won't break the bank.

Multidensity OTE Thermoformed EVA BushingContinuing the Union bushing philosophy, "Over the Edge" bushings wrap around the outside of the base for extra padding.

Universal DisksCompatible with 4x4, 4x2 and Channel systems.

Highback

Symmetric ST HighbackThe ST represents Union's philosophy that there is no such thing as "entry level" and that all of their products are "everything level." Durable, strong, comfortable and ready to ride highback for all riders.

Straps

Bone-Out StrapsLight as a feather and super comfy, Bone Out straps feature a 3D Symmetric design that eliminates foot pain across the top of the foot. They hold you in, but don't hold you back.

Buckles

Injected Aluminum BucklesUnion's Aluminum Buckles are the perfect combination of function and reliability. Strengthened with springs and a long lasting ratchet mechanism for easy, fast ratcheting power.

Additional Features

Extruded 3D Aluminum HeelcupMade of extremely durable extruded aluminium, designed to minimize toe drag while optimizing heel hold.

Canted Gas PedalsIdeal for riders using a wide stance, Canted Gas Pedals supply extra leverage for ollie power. Canting also allows the ankle and knee joints to be aligned, alleviating pain.

Grade 8.8 HardwareThe most commonly used hardware is made from "mild steel" that has a property class of only 4.6. Considering how much stress a binding is under, Union uses only the strongest steel on ALL hardware.

Tool-Free AdjustmentsNo screwdrivers needed - Flip the levers for a quick and easy on-hill adjustment.

Union offers a lifetime warranty on baseplates and heelcups. If you break, or even crack your baseplate or heelcup during riding, they'll replace it for life. Guaranteed. All other parts are covered for 1 year from date of purchase.
