The Strata has quickly become one of Union's most popular binding models, thanks to high-quality components which provide great versatility. This binding is built around Union's Stage 6 Duraflex ST baseplate which is super strong, light, and tough making it great for all-mountain riding. These bindings also have the Strata Duraflex ST highback, which blends a modernistic approach to a classic, time-proven shape, to offer riders a comfy highback with just the right amount of flex. The Strata uses Union's Fused Vaporlite Bushing System, which sets new standards for how a snowboard binding should function and perform. This system redefines board feel and dampening characteristics to offer you a smooth ride and some much-needed protection from heavy landings. The heel cup is made from 3D Extruded Aluminium, which gives an amazing strength-to-weight ratio and features the same lifetime warranty as the baseplate keeping you fully covered. The new Forma Lab ankle straps utilize a minimalistic design for a lightweight and surfy feel that is highly durable and features strategically placed padding for increased comfort. Plus the Magnesium buckles are 4 times stronger than aluminum without adding to the overall weight for super smooth and speedy entry and exit.
