Union Flite

Union Flite are freestyle bindings that as of the 2011 season, are now only made for men. Previously, there was a women's edition of the Union Flite. The Flite is designed for park and pipe riders who are looking for a compact, lightweight binding at a very affordable price point. Union also backs these bindings up with a lifetime warranty, so no need to worry about being too rough on them. The Flite features a DuPont Zytel ST base and highbacks which are ultra lightweight but also very durable. An anodized aluminum heelcup adds strength to the binding for hard landings and aluminum buckles make for a quick strap in. The Union Flite is available in three color choices: black, orange (pictured) and green and in two sizes: M/L (fits boot size 6.5 to 10.5) and a L/XL which fits boot sizes 9.5 to 14.5. There is also a kid's mini-flite binding that is available in black/gold.

Riders give the Union Flite pretty good reviews, especially for a binding at this price point. Riders say the bindings are lightweight, easy to adjust and comfortable. Riders did say that they really had to crank on the straps to get them tight, so if you like an ultra snug fit, these may not be for you. Reviewers also said they thought these bindings worked best with rocker style snowboards as they are a pretty soft binding.
