Union Binding Company: Men's Force SL Snowboard Bindings

Freeriding is hardly free when you're combining performance and style, but the Union Force-SL binding gets everything right without leaving you searching for pro sponsors. Then again, this might be the binding you need to get attention from pro sponsors. Created from carbon-injected Zytel ST, the Force-SL features a high-end CNC machined heel cup that helps remove excess weight without undermining the rugged integrity essential for expert all-terrain riding. The responsive Asymmetrical/Symmetrical highback can be configured and tweaked to match your style, but we also like comfort featuers and extra cush in the 3D Auto-Fit EVA strap core. Up front you'll find contoured Direct Connect Straps with lightweight magnesium buckle closures. Most gearheads know that magnesium is lighter than aluminum, but this alloy is also four times stronger than the aluminum buckles found on other snowboard bindings. Another nice touch is the injected EVA bushings. These bushings are lighter in weight than traditional materials on other bindings and you'll find that you experience a bit more flex and feedback from your snowboard. The Union Force-SL is one of the few snowboard bindings out there today that offers great looks and exceptional all-terrain performance.
