Extremely lightweight The Flite Pro represents Union's philosophy that there is no such thing as an 'entry-level' binding. The Stage 8 Duraflex baseplate combined with the Falcor-inspired highback make for the lightest binding on the market. A great freestyle binding for beginners and advanced riders. Highback Probably the lightest highback design ever. The Stage 12 Flite Pro Highback with soft to medium flex is great for freestyle riding in any terrain and offers a surfy feel. The angle of the highback (forward lean) can be adjusted without tools. / Baseplate The Stage 8 Duraflex baseplate is the lightest base in its price range, in the entire industry. It is very robust thanks to the special Duraflex material and very light thanks to the nylon saved during production. The thermoformed EVA bushings offer excellent cushioning, even in cold temperatures. Straps The Forma ankle straps fit perfectly to the outside of your boots, are incredibly durable and light as a feather. The TS 4.0 Toe Strap keeps your boots bombproof and secure in the binding without you even noticing it's there.

So I bought these for my first board setup this past X-mas after doing a lot of review scouring the internet. I knew I didn't want to drop a bag on some binding and these were the ones that came recommended for a good blend of value + functionality. I've ridden these 5x already and I have no issues but still trying to get them dialed in on Stance width/angle.I'd recommend these for any beginner/intermediate riders looking to not spend a ton of money. (FWIW, I've seen and got to ride the Step-ons by Burton and that's a dang game changer. If you can afford it....)

We have two sets of these bindings, first we had them on my my sons board. They are light, comfortable, and perform great. So I bought a set (different color) when I ordered a new board. They work great for both our different riding styles (All mountain and freestyle). He's 15 and more aggressive than I am at my age, I'm about 40lbs heavier, and they are holding up great for both of us

Great bindings so far, no issues after 3 days of very hard riding. One thing that is a minor annoyance is that the plastic ridge that connects to the toe strap isn't flexible enough to clear the way when you strap in your second binding. You have to dodge that to avoid wear/tear on the strap. Not a big deal, just be more careful strapping in.

I genuinely cannot give this a 5 star review yet as I have not ridden the binding yet. BUT, As always, these bindings from union are built in great quality. They are definitely on the softer side so if you want park or something that is very playful, I think these are the bindings for you as they are flexible in the places you want and stability in the places you want also. This is a big disk so if you want a mini disk, these ain't for you, but if you're like me where you probably won't feel a difference since you ain't that good yet, these will do fine😂
I wear size 13 boots and bought the Size L Union Flite Pro to go with my new board. What's great about these bindings is they are way more than freestyle oriented bindings. Lightweight infinitely adjustable to achieve that comfortable solid hold and the look great. The micro-adjustments offered on a binding at this price point is something you don't see often. High backs have good flex and if you ride on hard pack they make it easy for a progressing rider to master switch and dial in their style.
Strong and lightweight but they look so nice mounted on my new Capita board and will shred the mountain this year. I live in the Vail valley Colorado and they already started up the snow guns so time is near to put these to the test. Thank you for the competitive price and fast shipping. I appreciate you offer any competitors prices to find a lower price and you will match. Thanks for the great customer service will definitely order from EVO again.
Bought these bindings after reading a review article on top bindings that don't break the bank and I have been super impressed with them.I just purchased a new board (capita kazu kobkubo pro) as I live in california and ride all mountain powder mostly and needed a lightweight comfy binding for long all day rides.I installed myself in just under 10 mins and without any frustration. After my first ride they needed a slight tune up but that's probably related to me not tightening enough to start.I would recommend these to any similar rider.
After a lifetime of skiing I decided I wanted to feel like a noob on the hill, so I did what anyone would do, I bought a snowboard. Let me tell you, I have never been more sore in my life! That's not the bindings fault though! The softer flex makes them more forgiving and less painful when I try to fold my legs backward over them. 10/10 would recommend!
Switched to these after a bad experience with Burton Freestyle Re:Flex. These binding don't have any pinch points and feel light as can be. Honestly I should've listened to my squad and got Unions from the get go. Flite Bindings fit perfect and even though they are the entry level binding. I'm riding with more confidence and after a full day of riding my body thanks me
I'm a beginner, so I don't have much to base my feedback on, but I can give you some first impressions. I really like these bindings so far. They are light and were super easy to install and adjust. Some negative perceptions I have about them is, as a beginner, I've given myself a bit more forward lean and the adjustments on the Flights are a bit clumsy and not notched like I've seen on other bindings, so I just had to eyeball it. Additionally, the toe strap seems to be not the best material and I feel like it may break on me after a while. Back strap is awesome and really well constructed. Overall, I can't complain about these bindings for the price, weight, and construction. Great first set-up!
