For the past eight years, the Union Binding Company has been dedicated to crafting that connection—fl awlessly uniting snowboard and rider through next-level comfort and technology,progressive performance, and dependable, durable components. We are an independent brand founded on supplying snowboarders with the best bindings on the planet. Product has always come fi rst, and we build it for snowboarders who thrash their gear and expect it to survive.

Our history speaks for itself. Union blew doors in its very fi rst year by building an elite bindingthat was totally bombproof. With a zero warranty-return rate, we knew we’d created our

foundation for the future. During the following years, we continued to develop and pioneered new materials and processes to the binding market—becoming the fi rst snowboard company to utilize things like Extruded Aluminum, Injected Magnesium, Machined Coring™, MetaFuse Nano Technology, and the list goes on…

Moving into this year, Union is proud to have made improvements across the entire line and written yet another chapter of product design and progression. Working exclusively with Dupont™ Zytel® ST, we continue our commitment to building the lightest, strongest, and best riding snowboard bindings on the market.

The perfect binding is more than a mechanism. it’s more than a tool. it’s more than the sum of baseplate, highback, straps and hardware. The perfect binding is a catalyst to creating the ultimate connection between rider and board—and that connection spells freedom.

Our bindings are injected with the highest-quality Dupont™ Zytel® ST Nylon throughout the entire collection. The result is the strength, safety, security, and confi dence of a lifetime warranty on all baseplates and heelcups. If you break, or even crack your baseplate or heelcup during riding, we’ll replace it for life. Guaranteed.


Union is 100% devoted making the best bindings on the planet—we live, eat, and breathe it. And every part of the process, from pioneering new materials to CNC machining a new baseplate, is done in-house with zero outsourcing. Every single piece of a Union binding is therefore completely exclusive to Union— you can’t find it anywhere else.

100% ownership.100% focus.

Machined corinG

Dupont™ Zytel ST Nylon coated with ultra-stiff nanocrys-talling metal particles 1/75,000 the size of the human hair. Light as a feather, and has the wear resistance of hard-ened steel.

This high-tech process is four times the strength of alumi-num with only half the weight. Plus, magnesium is easily recycled and remains the eighth most abundant material on the planet.

Extruded aluminum comes out 100-percent pure and main-tains its true shape no matter how much wear and tear you inflict. Union was first to bring the extrusion process to snowboarding and remains the sole company using it.

By increasing the thickness of the natural surface oxide layer, the anodizing process beefs up a metal’s strength by 30-percent. Drastically lighter than normal hardware.

The most commonly used hardware is made from "mild steel" that has a property class of only 4.6. But consider-ing how much stress a binding goes through, we use only highest-strength steel (featuring a property class of 8.8) on ALL hardware.

Union uses only the highest-quality Dupont™ Zytel® ST nylon throughout our entire binding collection. The result is the strength, safety, security, and the confidence of a lifetime warranty on all baseplates.

CNC process removes material to decrease overall weight, while maintaining the strength and integrity of each part. This expensive and time-consuming process demonstrates our commitment to product progression.

Union stands firm by its original commitment to the evolution of snowboard bindings. Over the past seven years, Union has introduced new materials, new processes, and pioneered new levels of durability and performance. These commitments are evidenced by tremendous sell through, and virtually zero warranty. We give snowboarders what they want, and back it up 365 days a year.

GeT To know union TruefiT™MiniMaL conTacT

It’s a simple fact—the larger your binding’s baseplate, the more effect it has on the way your board fl exes. Union baseplates are designed to provide supreme strength with the smallest foot-print possible—crucially reducing interference with a board’s true fl ex.

True Board fLex

Once they’re mounted, bindings create “dead zones”—areas under the baseplates where your board won’t fl ex. With this in mind, all Union bindings are designed to promote a free, even board fl ex for sweeter response, better board control, and improved board durability.

fiBerGLass index

Bigger riders require stiffer bind-ings, so we proportionally increase the fi berglass content from our smallest sizes to the biggest. That’s personalized performance for any rider who straps in.

“union Bindings has been an excellent partner and has been the first company to use

the Metafuse™ nanometal/polymer hybrid technology commercially, demonstrating it's

potential for weight savings vs. aluminum. This exciting technology based on high strength

nanovate™ structural cladding is being validated for demanding applications such as

jet engine parts, Medical devices and hand held device frames. congratulations to union for

a rapid product development cycle and a continual drive to incorporate the newest
