Union MC Metafuse Snowboard Bindings 2012

Comments about Union MC Metafuse Snowboard Bindings 2012:

I figured that I would get the best binding money could buy that way I would not have any problems with them during the season but that was not the case. The highback broke off and the strap came undone after my fourth time out. Back to the drawing board I guess.

Service and delivery comments:

Great product service at Evo

Got these as a Valentine's Day present and was totally psyched to hit the mountain. First three times out were awesome, but on fourth time out, felt wobbly and had no control at all. Always felt like I was about to eat it. Next day went out again and putting board in car noticed that the heelcup strap had totally snapped in half. No wrecks, no features, no park. Just snapped in half. So much for super light and super strong. Now we see how good Union's customer service is because I'm pretty angry that a [$] binding snaps in half after three rides when my old Ride LX's cost me $100 and lasted me three years of constant abuse.

First of all, these are the lightest bindings I've ever felt, and their response is amazing. The Carbon Fiber highbacks are super stiff, but allow just the right amount of flex. HOwever they are not adjustable to match the back edge of your board which can lead to some calf fatigue. I ride a 164.5 TRrice w/ HP and this is the best/lightest board I've ever ridden. However, UNION is having some serious issues with their injection molding of their heel cups, I broke one on these within the first 3 hours of riding them on Groomers, nothing crazy at all. They warrantied a new set of bindings, and I got 3 days out of the second pair before the opposite foot heel cup cracked, same place as the other one did, they are great about warranty on their products, but it's becoming a bit of a pain taking them back all the time. Gonna give them one more shot because when they're together, they're AMAZING!

I was looking for an all mountain/park binding that was lightweight. I found them in the UNION MC bindings. I have not one bad thing to say. 27 days riding this season and they have held up to the the punishment in varying conditions.
