Maurice Hall tested this product
The Union Explorer splitboard bindings are great for exploring the backcountry. They're light and easy to use, perfect for long trips and tough climbs. You can quickly adjust them for different types of terrain, which is handy on steep hills. They're strong, too, so they won't break easily when you're out in rough terrain. But they might not be the... Read more

Awesome starter binding

Posted on Feb 14, 2024
Wish it had more height settings for climbing steeper slopes but performs very well for the price point.

Great entry level split bindings!

Originally posted at eu.unionbindingcompany.com on Aug 8, 2023
Super affordable for me since I am pretty new to splitboarding. I spent a good chunk of my budget on avy gear so I decided to give these a try for the price. They ride really well! I had a pair of Contact Pro on my solid board and I would say they are pretty similar to those. Some of my friends were bashing the pin set up but I do not mind it at all. I’ve had no issues with it and to be honest I have used the pin itself to break loose ice build up on my split board clips. I will probably upgrade to the Charger in a few seasons.

Leo is a legend!
5 /5
I really appreciated Leo’s honestly as most online reviews of the ski equipment I was looking for were far too positive, and really very few people willing to admit or call out truths about various options, however Leo was spot on and understood exactly what I was experiencing with my current skis which perhaps weren’t the best choice for where I ski. That said we had a huge downfall of snow today and my skis performed absolutely brilliantly, but with Leo’s help I decided to upgrade my skis anyway and also needed bindings for my new Atomic Maverick 88ti skis, following Leo’s advice I opted for the Marker Griffin 13 ID Bindings.

Parker was top notch!
5 /5
Parker was so helpful with sending me recommendations and even created a personalized video that explained why he was making the recommendations. I definitely didn’t expect such great service from an online ski salesperson! I’ve been looking for skis for months now and Parker helped me decide in one afternoon! I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking to purchase skis!

Zach pays attention to your needs!
5 /5
Zach was great at listening to my request and desires out of equipment. As a 1wk/yr skier. He coulg have just said yep here is your weight, ht. budget and here is your gear. Instead he really paid attention to the issues I have had with gear in the past. The desires I had out of my future gear. Look forward to maybe giving an additional review and feedback when I use this gear in a few weeks.

My first time making a snowboard purchase. Brenden’s on point he took the time to find out my skill level, and was where I was planning on going. How much I was willing to spend. He gave me a lot of recommendations broke them down to me and even gave me advice on where I should go around my area. If you need help he is the guy.
