Whitelines Choice Winner: Best Men’s Snowboard Binding
PRICE: £145 / € 160 / £170

The only thing entry-level about the Flite Pro’s is the price tag. Completely redesigned for winter 2021/22, and 30g lighter than the previous iteration, when Union say ‘lightweight’ they mean it. Tweak-friendly and built for playful freestyle, the Flite Pro’s are a park rat’s wet dream.

Union Rover Approach System and Expedition Pack 2021-2022

PRICE: Skis: €399 / $399 Pack: €139 / $129

Approach skis. They’ve often been met with a healthy dose of scepticism from the splitboarding purists and the backcountry cynics. But what happens when the world’s leading binding manufacturer leans on the support of their friends in the CAPiTA mothership to produce a brand new approach ski and carrying system to get you earning your turns without the hassle of mastering your kick turns (not to mention giving you the freedom to ride any one of your solid snowboards for the way back down)? We’re listening…

BUY FROM

Who are the Union Rover and Expedition Pack For?

Splitboarding is enjoying record levels of popularity – thought that’s not altogether surprising given the last 18 months we’ve all had. But there’s no denying it’s a pretty hefty investment. Even more so if you’ve already got your dream powder setup and don’t much fancy dropping north of £1,000 of a new setup. Enter the all-new Union Rover Approach Skis and Expedition Pack. Designed for riders who still want to venture beyond the resort boundaries, but enjoy the descent on their ol’ reliable steed. Minimal faff, maximum stoke.

Union Atlas Snowboard Bindings 2021-2022

PRICE: £290 / $350

Union’s flagship all-mountain binding, the Atlas is a bona fide classic. So much so that Union haven’t changed a thing for 2021/22, except the dope colourways on offer. But as they say, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. And do Union’s ever break? Their bombproof construction and lifetime warranty says not.

BUY FROM

Who are The Union Atlas For?

You’re an experienced rider who probably spends more time charging groomers and hitting the sidecountry than you do riding the rail line (think Kazu Kokobu and Arthur Longo style). That to be said, you won’t say no to any type of snowboarding, you’re always hyped to be on board especially when you’ve got one of the sickest bindings on the market strapped to your feet.

Union Cadet Pro Youth Snowboard Bindings 2021-2022

PRICE: $140

Whitney Houston said, “I believe the children are our future” and Union listened. Plasticky kids gear isn’t gonna cut it anymore, especially not when Junior wants to be the next Travis Rice. The Cadet Pro is every bit as impressive as the rest of Union’s adult line, made with the same meticulous attention to detail and top-quality materials.

Who are The Union Cadet Pro For?

This is a binding for kids who already leave mum and dad eating their dust. The kids who outpace and outmanoeuvre riders twice their age and don’t even break a sweat.

Union Explorer Snowboard Bindings 2021-2022

PRICE: £340 / €370

If 2020/21 season taught us anything, it’s that the lifts don’t have to be turning to get some serious riding done. They may have been designed with riders like Travis Rice and Bryan Iguchi in mind, but don’t let that put you off, the Union Explorer’s are designed to handle everything from the mundane sidecountry to the most gnarly conditions and will take you anywhere you want to go.

Who are The Union Explorer’s For?

You may be new to splitboarding or you may have been hitting the skin track for years, either way, if you’re looking at getting a pair of these, you must love the uphill as much as you love the down.

Union Falcor Snowboard Bindings 2021-2022

PRICE: £305 / €330

Let’s be real, Travis Rice could put his name to sealed jars of farts and we’d all be queuing up to get them, but at the end of the day has he ever let us down? The Union Falcor is Travis’ go-to binding for his resort and backcountry exploits. They sit at the junction of freeride and freestyle, enough juice to really push on those ball shrinking runs, but enough play to bone out a method of a cliff drop.

BUY FROM

Who are The Union Falcor For?

No one’s saying you have to be Travis Rice to ride these, that would be the worst marketing ever, but you’ve got to be pretty experienced on a snowboard to make the most of them. If you’ve ever seen his riding style you know the kind of thing they’re best at- artful freestyle meets instant response.

Union Force Snowboard Bindings 2021-2022

PRICE: £230 / €240

Happy 17th birthday to the OG Union binding, the Force. Time to stop drinking cider on a park bench and graduate into sneaking into pubs. One of, if not the, most iconic snowboard binding out there. You’ve heard of a quiver killer snowboard, well this is a quiver killer binding, super versatile and just about as all-mountain as it gets.

BUY FROM

Who are The Union Force For?

Despite being able to bring some pretty high performance to the table, the barrier to entry for the Force is relatively low, beginner, intermediate or pro, you’ll find something to like here.
