					<description><![CDATA[Location: Loveland &#38; Copper, Colorado Snow Conditions: Mixture of Conditions. Setup: I rode the Union Forces (size M/L) with the Capita Ultrafear FK and my Bonfire Geo Boots Time to set up the binding: Average Fit: My Bonfire Geo&#8217;s fit snugly into the heelcup and conform fine to the highback.  I have a small bit of extra width between the bindings but it&#8217;s only with my Bonfire Geo boots (Vans boots fit fine in them). First Impression: I liked these bindings last year so when it came time to pick this years bindings, I upgraded from the Forces to the Force SL&#8217;s and no regrets on my decision.  I got a lighter, stiffer, more responsive binding but I didn&#8217;t lose the amazing feeling of the Forces with the upgrade. Appearance: They are the white/red Force SL&#8217;s which someone told me reminded them of baseball and I like them, simple design and colors. Comfort: The Force SL&#8217;s continue with the padding that the regular Forces offer, padding on the highback and baseplate to absorb rougher terrain when you hit it and a sturdy padded ankle strap that doesn&#8217;t give me any pressure points when strapped in. Functionality: The Force SL this [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[George Kleckner is the man behind Union Binding Company. He&#8217;s the guy doing the branding, marketing and product design of the bindings. So when I started getting questions regarding Union bindings, he&#8217;s the man I turned to for the down and dirty Q &#38; A to elaborate on your questions. Shay: Which binding is the lightest in the Union lineup? George: Force MC – 710 grams. It’s the lightest men’s binding on the market. Shay: How do Union bindings allow for true board flex? George: We have minimized the direct contact from binding-to-board. This is especially important in the heel area of the binding, because it alleviates “dead spots” under your bindings. It also alleviates pressure points where most board breakage occurs. Shay: Does every model have less than 100% binding direct contact to the board? George: Yes. The Contact has the least amount (19%), but even our Stage II base has minimal direct contact. This is the number 1 thing that makes Union Bindings ride different. Shay: What are the similarities and differences between the Contacts and Force bindings? George: Similarities are fit and comfort. The main difference between the two, is the Force baseplate is quite a bit [&#8230;]]]></description>
