Union

Frequently Asked Questions

• What materials and construction methods does Union use in their snowboard bindings?

  Union uses high-strength, lightweight materials like Duraflex nylon, Magnesium, and DuPont Zytel ST nylon in key components, paired with responsive baseplate designs to preserve board flex while maximizing durability. That construction philosophy focuses on reducing weight without sacrificing impact resistance, giving bindings that are both long-lasting and lively underfoot.
• How does Union balance support and freestyle feel in their highbacks and flex profiles?

  Union employs multi-zone flex highbacks and tuned flex ratings to deliver a balance of support for heelside control and enough give for presses and tweaks in the park. Many models offer medium flex options and tailored shaping so riders get predictable response on hard turns and forgiving movement for freestyle tricks.
• What product categories does Union make, and are there options for backcountry riders?

  Union’s core lineup centers on snowboard bindings and related accessories, with dedicated splitboard bindings and approach gear designed for backcountry travel and touring. Their bindings are ridden by pros such as Danny Kass, TJ Schneider, and Joe Sexton, highlighting a range that covers park, all-mountain, and backcountry performance.
• What strap and toe technologies set Union bindings apart for comfort and board connection?

  Union uses signature features like the UltraGrip toe strap and 3D-formed ankle straps to improve hold and reduce pressure points, while responsive baseplates enhance edge-to-edge feel. Those strap shapes mold to boot profiles for secure, comfortable lockdown without compromising board feedback.
