The golden standard for park binding

The Union Stratas are very popular for a reason. Phenomenal shock absorption, a nice tight fit and skate like flex for tweaking and helping to balance on a rail. The feeling is very close to the board, which is nice. This rode as expected and I like the look of a complete highback. The highbacks are not the easiest to move, as you need an screwdriver but thats a small task anyway. I like to ride with some highback.
The colour is not as white as I expected, rather vanilla white or off white. They come in a cooler back, so it is worth the investment compared to the regular Stratas. A public favourite for sure :). If you want some tilt for the footbed however, this binding is not for you. Also if you run really big foot size, I would recommend another model as you cant customize the footbed.
This is for the park rider who wants a rather firm binding, like not the softest but responsive one, or just an all mountain cruising rider. The looks are certainly on point, with the function. These are pay to win :)
