Union Binding Company: Men's Contact Snowboard Bindings

Sometimes we all need a little space. High flex reverse camber snowboards need it more than the rest of us. That's because these performance snowboards work best when the design isn't stifled by rigid binding baseplates. That's why Union designed their lightweight freestyle Contact binding with a miniscule 19% binding-to-board contact area along the entire baseplate. 19%. That's like less than 1/5 of the contact of traditional dead-zone binding designs. The Union Contact binding creates even board flex that's true and natural, and incredibly lightweight--the holy grail of performance characteristics that any purist snowboarder or response-craving fanatic asks for every season. Despite all the flex along the board, the Contact components surrounding your boot are exceptionally durable. The Contact uses magnesium buckles to reduce weight but the alloy is four times stronger than the aluminum buckles found on other snowboard bindings. Honeycombed Auto-Fit EVA ankle straps conform to the top of your boots without adding extra bulk or extra ounces in traditional material. In back you'll find a durable extruded aluminum heelcup because, well… aluminum works well better back there than almost any other material. If you were ever curious about discovering the true flex potential on your reverse camber snowboard, the Union Contact is the only sensible choice this season.
