Union

DLX Snowboard Binding

Don't skimp on performance and durability just because you're a little short on funds this month—you'll end up paying more in the long run. Instead, get a quality binding like the Union DLX Snowboard Binding that you can count on day in and day out without dropping a fortune on it.

If you're not sold on the lightweight and responsive Stage 1 Zytel ST base, the lifetime warranty against breakage should do the trick. A Multizone highback allows you to tweak your grabs hard while still offering enough support for bombing down steeps, and an extruded anodized aluminum heelcup reduces weight while maintaining strength and stiffness. The Direct-Connect ankle strap provides a secure and responsive fit without creating painful pressure points, and the Open Toe Strap is low-profile and cored-out to wrap around the front of your boot for a comfy and secure fit.
