The Story
Most kids’ bindings feel like downsized rentals; the Union Cadet bindings feel purpose-built for progression. The Stage 8 Duraflex baseplate drops serious weight while Thermoformed EVA bushings smooth out chatter, giving young riders a clean, confidence-boosting platform that works with every common mounting pattern.
The Cadet Duraflex highback teams up with an Exoframe 2.0 ankle strap and TS 2.1 Hexgrip toe strap for locked-in comfort that still lets groms tweak. Aluminum S2 ratchets, Grade 8.8 steel hardware, a mellow 4/10 flex and tool-less FLAD keep adjustments easy and performance tuned for all-mountain laps.
Key Features
- Baseplate: Stage 8 Duraflex baseplate, Union’s lightest, trims over 10 grams off the Cadet’s total weight
- Bushing / Cushioning: Thermoformed EVA bushing for damped, comfortable underfoot feel
- Heelcup: Extruded 3D aluminum heelcup for durable edge-to-edge support
- Highback: Cadet Duraflex highback for youth-focused all-mountain control
- Straps: Exoframe 2.0 ankle strap and TS 2.1 Hexgrip toe strap with traditional strap adjustment
- Buckles / Ratcheting: Aluminum S2 ratchets with steel components for reliable tightening
- Flex: 4/10
- Compatibility: Compatible with all existing snowboard mounting patterns
Additional Features
- Forward Lean: Tool-less FLAD forward lean adjustment
- Baseplate Disc / Cover: Snap Fit disk cover
- Hardware: Grade 8.8 steel hardware for long-term durability
