Union Force Snowboard Binding 2007

Comments about Union Force Snowboard Binding 2007:

My last set of binders were a pair of Drake F60 Limiteds and I was excited to put them on my snowboard 6 years ago. This year I felt I should get an upgrade and had the opportunity to demo a pair of 06/07 Union Force bindings with a Capita Black Death Speed Tribe last season--a dual-force to be reckoned with.

With all that is going on with bindings out there in the snowboard game it's nice to find a pair that are completely functional, easily adjustable, and not super-duper trendy. Union focuses on sharp design and function. No piece of the binding seemed to be an after-thought. Last season I got really into tweaking my bindings to find that all elusive perfect fit. Union gives you every opportunity to adjust the fit including a gas pedal that goes over the base plate which you can move backwards or forwards.

The anke strap is well padded and contoured. The toe strap is wide and well placed with a sleeve for the excess strap after buckling down at the top of the lift giving the binding a sleek look.

The high back is easy to adjust (one step turn and lock construction) with marks on the back to keep track of your forward lean. The high back is comfortable and cups my lower calf quite nicely.

These bindings provided the right stiffness level I enjoy for an all-mountain ride sufficient for powder lines and park whims. These aren't the softest bindings you'll ever own, but for people looking for solid construction and secure fit these are an ideal choice. The Force binders secured my feet to the board in a way that made me feel that the board and bindings were acting as one solid unit.

Having ridden primarily Burton bindings since my early shred days, i was pretty skeptical that anything would ride as good as my trusty missions so the unions really had their work cut out for them. outta the box i was real impressed by the build quality and details of these bindings; great attention to detail. the bindings have a ton of adjustments, which took some time to get used to and also to setup for my boots but overall nothing too heavy. The only thing i did not dig on was the wack highback rotation adjustment, as its just pre-drilled holes that you select, kinda lame. Other than that the forward lean adjustment is easily the best i have ever used, and the bindings are uber comfy. the straps give no pressure points and i love the toe strap (you can rock it either OG style or cappy like the kids). riding wise the bindings performed great, and really reminded me of my missions flex wise. again really comfy with nice and responsive highbacks. overall, solid responsive bindings that are not overly stiff and nice and comfy. 9 outta 10 (10, if it wasn't for the lame highback rotation) - Oh yeah, i rode em with this years sabbaths, & they fit fine with no issues.

Switched to these after years riding Flow bindings, I'm glad I did. The Unions are way more adjustable, stable, and easier to deal with on the hill when necessary (and that's hardly ever!).

This is a tough pair of bindings.

They don't have the unnecessary extras of others, but only things useful that makes sense (like tons of options for adjusting).

They look good, but not overly trendy. You can say they're elegant.

My only complain so far is the cheap-looking, almost-falling piece of plastic decoration they have on the back. I'm sure they would still look good without it, or there could be some other way to get the same effect.

Anyway, good bindings.

These are the best 'bang for the buck' bindings out there. Get a pair and ride em for years. Lifetime warranty baby!

I own two sets of these wonderful binders and i would not trade them for anything. Except the airblaste inverter2s but those are the same as forces just different colors.

I have been looking for a solid binding that will stand up well to abuse. These bindings are constructed well and work really good. The toe straps fit my boots awesome and they are a good looking binding also. The bindings are priced well too.
