Great bindings with fantastic value for money
de Anna, Product Content, Blue Tomato, 20 jul 2023
I was looking for a splitboard binding that was reliable, easy to mount and wouldn't drain my bank account. I've been splitboarding for about five years and I mainly go on tours that aren't too demanding, but I was still looking for a binding that would support me on rides that are a bit more challenging. Union has always been a guarantee of quality and top performance for me, plus they produce their bindings in Italy, so it's a win-win. That is why my choice fell on the Union Explorer. I bought them in size M, which fits my size 40.5 Salomon snowboard boots perfectly.
I used the Explorer bindings in rather spring-like conditions, both on groomed slopes and in fresh snow. These bindings are quite light, which is definitely a plus when it comes to splitboarding. They are also extremely comfortable, so much so that it feels like using a normal, reliable and fun pair of snowboard bindings. The pin system is really simple and intuitive to use and switching from ascent to descent mode or vice versa can be done in a very short time, even if there is ice or snow on the board. The only problem I encountered, although just one or two times, was that the pin tended to slip out from under the binding in riding mode. However, I realised this in time and easily reinserted the pin. So make sure you push it all the way down firmly before starting the descent!
I recommend the Union Explorer splitboard bindings to all the pleasure tourers who are looking for reliable and comfortable splitboard bindings, without wanting to spend a fortune.
