Why We Love the STR Snowboard Binding
The STR Snowboard Binding from Union never fails to put a smile on our faces. It's the perfect choice for those of us who always look for value, as Union consistently fine-tunes its design and upgrades its components. With reliable straps, a secure heelcup, and a well-shaped highback, this binding keeps us confidently connected to our board, minimizing any annoying boot movement. The use of Duraflex nylon provides impressive strength and support while keeping the binding lightweight. We're always ready to hit the slopes when we're strapped in with the STR.
