The Union DLX Binding is the 4 x 4 workhorse of Union's lineup of foot-restraints, offering extreme durability as well as versatility. It's soft and smooth-flexing enough to deliver a forgiving ride for new to intermediate riders, but is also supportive enough to not roll Joe Sexton's ankle when he's pretzling out of a mean frontside. This built-to-last binding comes equipped the 'basic' components that makes Union stand out such as injected EVA bushings under the chassis and injected aluminum ratchets, and has been upgraded to the all-new open-toe straps as well as the new Direct-Connect strap system.
Multizone Dupont Zytel ST highback has a medium height that won't bite, is cored out to shave weight, and features Quick-Adjust forward lean that dials in the perfect position in an on-the-fly fashion
Stage I Dupont Zytel ST chassis is as light as a feather but as solid as concrete when it comes to resisting breakage
CNC anodized aluminum heelcup is cored out from a solid block of material (instead of being cut and bent to shape) to reduce weight without reducing strength
Injected EVA bushings dampen vibrations underfoot and minimize dead spots under the bindings
New Open design on toe strap cuts out weight and material for light and tight fit,
with fully adjustable positioning so you can run it how you like it
Direct-Connect ankle strap system uses 3D-molding to achieve a fit that's just right for transferring energy from your foot right into the binding
Grade 8.8 hardware is made from high-grade steel to provide exceptional strength and long life
Comes with universal discs to connect to 3-hole, 4-hole, and Channel boards
Bottom Line: A lightweight, tough-as-nails ride without the heavy price tag.
I have had these for 2 seasons now, and have used them in everything including powder, ice and slush. I have used them everywhere from the Northwest to Midwest U.S., and they have been great. They are durable, solid, reliable, ass-kicking bindings that have never let me down.
Personally, I prefer these ($129.95) over the Forces ($199.95) because the ratchets are much smoother and release way more easily on the toe straps. I love the highbacks on these bindings- they are soft but not too soft, and very responsive when leaning back- making them great for most conditions. This season Union gave them the Contact highbacks from last season. They're the same but have 2 more milled out sections in the center for a little more flex. The baseplate is wide and easily fits all the boots I've owned so far, unlike the more narrow baseplate on the Flite bindings. The only thing I don't like about them is that there is no full base cover to stop dirt from getting to the screws :(
Bottom line: Calling these "beginner bindings" just because they're at the lowest price on Union's line is definitely an understatement. They're indestructible. They're nice on any terrain. They're the choice of 2 pro riders. They're affordable. Heck, the way I see it they're one the best pairs of bindings from Union. Like I said, the only problem is the lack of a full base-cover pad, but if that doesn't bother you then go for them.
got these last year, i would NOT recommend them to anyone who rides anything besides a tow rope in the midwest. with any steep terrain, powder, and high speed turns, these ratchets unclick like paris hiltons belt buckle. BUT if you do ride mostly park, and flat, boring slopes, these are the binders for you! nice and cheap, and rarely unclick when simply cruisin around. again, if you ride pow, dont buy these.

This binding is super affordable! If you want to strap into some union bindings, but don't have the cash flow, then look no further! This binding offers all the great qualities, at a super cheap price! It has a soft-medium flex, and is pretty responsive! Its a great all-around binding!
