Product Info
Lightweight response seems to be the thing all riders strive for, none more that Union rider Gigi Rüf . The Union Contact Pro Snowboard Bindings offer the lightest weight material, the smallest, most evenly-distributed board flex in the game, and Gigi's stamp of approval. Full of options to increase strength like the Dupont™ Zytel® ST, the Contact Pro is stable and easy to ride in all conditions. Grab a pair of these flossy bindings, throw them on your board, and hit the slopes, knowing that you'll be a whole level above the rest with a binding that decimates its opponents.
Product Details
Baseplate
Contact Pro Base – Extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. Made of Dupont™ Zytel® ST making the baseplate durable for endless shred.
Dupont™ Zytel® ST – The highest-quality nylon is used on all Union baseplates to result in strength, safety and security.
All-New Multi Density EVA Bushings – Multi-zone full bottom bushing system for a stronger, better baseplate.
Highback
Contact Pro Highbacks – Incredibly light and comfortable, Gigi Ruf approved. Symmetrically made for an even and controlled response.
Shift-on-the-Fly Forward Lean – Quick and easy to use, adjust the forward lean with a simple flip of a knob then slide it to wherever you want and re-lock it. Easily done while waiting in those pesky lift lines.
Straps
3D Direct-Connect Strap System – Multi-Layer Tapered Strap Core evenly distributes pressure.
Multi-Layered Tapered Strap Core
Magnesium Buckles – The magnesium in the buckles is four times the strength of aluminum with only half the weight. Plus, it is easily recycled.
All-New Toe Buckle System – Multi-positional options with open Ultra Grip™ Design
Additional Features
All-New Extruded 3D Aluminum Heelcups – This process removes material to reduce weight but maintains strength.
Grade 8.8 Hardware – The most commonly used hardware is made from "mild steel" that has a property class of only 4.6. Considering how much stress a binding goes through, Union uses only the highest-strength steel, with a property class of 8.8.
All-New Universal Mini-Disk – Fits on every board, including the Burton Channel System just with a minimal contact frootprint design to allow even board flex. Mini, but tough as nails.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Flex Rating:
Medium
More
Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
