Why We Love the Union Cadet Snowboard Binding

For aspiring groms looking to dominate the slopes, the Cadet Snowboard Binding from Union is our top pick. With its ultralight Stage 8 baseplates and soft-flexing Cadet highbacks, this binding offers unparalleled response, flexibility, durability, and value. Unlike other kid's bindings, the Cadet ensures maximum comfort so your junior rider can stay on the mountain for longer. The Thermoformed EVA bushings dampen shocks and vibrations from landings, while the tool-free highback adjustment makes it effortless to find the ideal forward lean.

Product Details

This youth-sized binding combines the all-mountain performance of pros with a forgiving mid-soft flex perfect for beginners and tweakable for park groms. The Cadet highback strikes the perfect balance between flexibility and response, especially for smaller boots. The Stage 8 Duraflex baseplate is Union's lightest offering, reducing weight without compromising strength. Thanks to the thermoformed EVA padding, leg fatigue is minimized by absorbing chatter. The canted footbeds promote a more natural stance for long-lasting comfort. The Forma ankle strap enhances response as your little shredder hones their skills, while the lightweight toe strap provides a weightless and secure feel.
