					<description><![CDATA[Location: Mission Ridge, WA Snow Conditions: Softpacked groomers to fresh snow on the mountain. Setup: I rode the Union Force Bindings on the Nitro Eero Ettala with my Vans Ferra Boots size 8. Time to set up the binding: Average time to set up on the board. Fit: I rocked the Forces in the M/L size which is what I&#8217;ve used in the past. They fit my size 8 women&#8217;s boots with some adjustments to the straps and heelcup. First Impression: I can always count on the Forces to be my go-to binding on the mountain. Gets the job done without the bells and whistles. Appearance: I tried the Forces in the bright pink colorway. I prefer the blue but the pink is really really bright, similar to the women&#8217;s Trilogy bindings this year but for the men to have the bright pink option. Comfort: The Forces continue to offer comfort on the mountain, good padding in the highback to baseplate. The straps are form fitting to the boot. Functionality: The Union Forces are known for workhouse dependability. They feature stage II base dupont zytel ST, multizone dupont ST highbacks with injected EVA bushings. Extruded anodized aluminum heelcups, quick adjust [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Mission Ridge, WA Snow Conditions: Softpacked groomers to fresh snow on the mountain. Setup: I rode the Union Trilogy Bindings on the GNU B-Pro and Jones Mothership with my Vans Ferra Boots size 8. Time to set up the binding: The Union Trilogies were easy to set up and adjusted with the straps to be ready to go. Fit: I rocked the Trilogies in the medium sizing which were a good fit to my size 8 Vans boots. Only an adjustment to the straps was needed to make sure they were centered. First Impression: I can always count on this binding to ride with dominating women&#8217;s freeride boards and still hold its own. Appearance: I tried the Trilogies in the Magenta colorway which is bright. On the Jones mothership, the bindings really stood out and on the B-Pro, they were completely suited to the just as bright graphics. I personally loved the bright magenta even though I thought I wouldn&#8217;t. Comfort: The Trilogies have bulked up since I last rode them making them even more comfortable in the ankle strap department. Good padding in the baseplate and highback to help absorb some fun fast riding. Functionality: The Union Trilogy [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Winter Park, CO Snow Conditions: Hardpacked to softpacked groomers. Setup: I rode the Union Contact Pro Bindings on the Capita DOA with my Vans Ferra Boots size 8. Time to set up the binding: These were the first bindings of the day so easily set up and adjusted. With Unions, the heelcup gets adjusted to fit my boots better so that took a couple extra minutes. Fit: I tried the Union Contact Pro bindings in the M/L sizing which fits my women&#8217;s size 8 boots just fine with adjustments. First Impression: It was my first time riding the Contact Pro&#8217;s but rode very consistent, comfortable and still capable of powering down the mountain. Appearance: The Union Contact Pros come in black/gray and purple/green. I got to ride the super bright neon purple and green colorway which was my all time favorite. Super outrageous colors but mixed well to make the Contact Pros stand out among the other bright Union bindings. Comfort: The Contact Pro bindings were good on comfort, lots of padding in the straps and absorption padding underneath below your boots. The highback design doesn&#8217;t allow for much padding but is where you need it at the lower [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In eight years, Union Binding Company has become a major player in snowboard bindings for design, functionality and keeping it fun. As SIA was getting started, they added another big player to their team lineup&#8230;Travis Rice now joins the ranks of Union Binding riders. For 2013, Union keeps it fresh and continues with their new open toe strap design throughout the line. They&#8217;ve added a new carbon binding, the Charger for those wanting response. The 2013 Union Catalog says, “The perfect binding is more than a mechanism.  It’s more than a tool.  It’s more than the sum of a baseplate, highbacks, straps and hardware.  The perfect binding is a catalyst to creating the ultimate connection between rider and board – and that connection spells freedom.”  Well done Union. Union MC-Metafuse Metafuse Technology. Features machined coring stage III Atlas base, carbon-injected dupont zytel ST, all-new asym/symmetrical Full Carbon highbacks, precision adjustment foward lean, injected EVA bushings, metafuse heelcups, all-new 3D direct connect strap system, multi-layer tapered strap core , magnesium buckles and aluminum cage, universal disks, all new CNC anodized  aluminum hardware, all-new open toe straps, dual density toe ramp padding, full carbon toe ramps, lifetime warranty base. Color: Black Union [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Winter Park, CO Snow Conditions: Hardpacked to softpacked groomers. Setup: I rode the Union Charger on the Jones Flagship Carbon with my Vans Ferra Boots size 8. Time to set up the binding: This was the second setup of the day and Parker took care of it, he&#8217;s a magician when it comes to demos and turning the screws. Fit: I rode these bindings in the M/L size which fit the width of my boots and were adjusted to fit the length of my boots with the heelcup coming in a notch. The straps did fine with my Vans Ferra boots. First Impression: These bindings are the stiffest in the Union line and no joke. Be ready for response and charging the mountain. Appearance: The Chargers are sleek when you look at them. The full carbon highback is breathtaking and arguably makes you bow down to how it handles. I like the mix of orange with the binding on the ratchets and baseplate and heelcup. Comfort: The padding in the baseplate and toe ramp help cushion the ride. It&#8217;s still a lightweight binding and from what I noticed with the Jones Flagship Carbon board, there&#8217;s not as much dampening to totally pillowtop [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Snoqualmie Summit, WA Snow Conditions: Hardpacked to softpacked to heavy leftover powder. Setup: I rode the Union Forces on the Capita Indoor Survival with my Vans Veil Boots size 8. Time to set up the binding: The forces were easy to mount and only took a matter of minutes with adjustments. Fit: I normally use men&#8217;s Union bindings throughout the winter so I&#8217;m used to using the M/L size with my Vans boots.  The width fits and I just have to adjust the heelcup and the straps. First Impression: The Forces are dialed and the neon acid colorway was the only bright thing in the NW that day. Appearance: Neon.  You either love it or you hate it.  It stands out like a sore thumb and attracts eyes to your bindings very easily.  I don&#8217;t remember having a choice in the color and personally I don&#8217;t care.  Right now when I look at it, I wouldn&#8217;t pick that color for myself but when I rode it, the brightness was fun in the overcast grey-ish day. Comfort: Comfortable binding overall with good padding that helps absorb rougher terrain.  I rode the Forces through some really choppy spots at the Holy [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Seven years is the period of refinement and for Union bindings, it&#8217;s building on the development of the previous years but also showing remarkable changes to what will become the future of the bindings.  Moving into 2012, Union introduces a new Stage III base and the new open toe strap design featured on all bindings.  The data binding is gone but there&#8217;s the new atlas in the lineup.   Union continues the custom house designs like the Capita ultrafear binding, team binding and the collab with Holden. In the 2012 Union catalog, they say &#8220;The perfect binding is more than a mechanism.  It&#8217;s more than a tool.  It&#8217;s more than the sum of a baseplate, highbacks, straps and hardware.  The perfect binding is a catalyst to creating the ultimate connection between rider and board &#8211; and that connection spells freedom.&#8221;  Well said Union. The all new toe strap on Union Bindings [singlepic id=10672 w=500 h=334mode=watermark float=] Union MC All new machined coring stage III base, carbon-injected dupont zytel ST, all new asym/symmetrical full carbon highbacks, universal discs, metafuse heelcups, precision adjustment forward lean, injected dual density bushings, all new magnesium buckles + aluminum cage, all new direct-connect strap system, with honeycomb [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Winter Park, Colorado Snow Conditions: Hardpacked snow conditions that softened up during the day with bluebird skies. Setup: I rode the Union Force bindings with the Never Summer Evo and Smokin PYT with my Vans Veil Boots size 8. Time to set up the binding: Average time for the Forces. I grabbed them from Union and set them up on the Evo and PYT myself. Fit: My Vans boots in size 8 fit fine in the M/L Forces with some adjustment to making sure everything fits properly.  The straps worked but I could have adjusted them better for riding.  The width of my boot works fine in the men&#8217;s binding, the highback height works with my boot height and overall the fit works for me as a rider . First Impression: These are one of the brightest bindings I have seen at the demos, so easy to spot on the mountain and a very popular choice at the demos. Appearance: The 10-11 Force line is my favorite color option, the brights come out to play with their yellow and blue colorway for next year.  They still have the signature black/white but the blue just wins me over.  I ended [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Loveland, Colorado Snow Conditions: Bluebird sunny skies and hardpacked groomed runs. Setup: I rode the Union Contacts on the Rome Postermania with my Bonfire Geo boots size 8. Time to set up the binding: I set it up so it was normal time since I&#8217;m familiar with the Contacts. Fit: I just had to make sure the straps were adjusted to my boots properly before taking them out on the snow.  When I ride union bindings, I rock the M/L size of bindings which fit the width of my size 8 boots and they aren&#8217;t too tall of a highback for my boots. First Impression: The softness and lightness of these bindings is always fun on the groomer days and playing around. Appearance: They remind me of those orange and white ice cream cups in the appearance, I miss the solid orange but it&#8217;s fun to have the white/orange color combination. Comfort: The straps were comfortable to my boots and didn&#8217;t offer any pressure points or weird spots when riding.  The baseplate is padded so absorbs some vibrations when riding and makes for  a super comfortable ride. Functionality: Contacts are just like any other binding except they offer less [&#8230;]]]></description>
