Union Source FC Bindings 2026 FC Black

Hit the lift with something that doesn’t ride like everyone else’s binding. The Union Source FC snowboard bindings are built around an S10 Halo Duraflex XB frame and Forged Carbon DCS core, cutting serious weight, dropping the baseplate height and driving power straight into your edges. Hi-Flex HP EVA bushings soak up impacts and vibration while keeping you close to the topsheet, so high-speed laps feel sharp, fast and under control instead of dull and muted.

Then the carbon story continues. An S18 Source forged carbon highback and forged carbon heelcup snap you from edge to edge quicker than most traditional nylon or aluminum setups. Phantom Slim ankle straps and TS 6.0 toe straps disappear on your feet but stay locked thanks to magnesium S1 ratchets and titanium strap screws. Union’s Direct Connect two-screw, diskless mounting system ditches the classic disc, creating a clean, minimal interface that makes the Source FC feel distinctly more reactive than the average binding.
