Union MC Metafuse Binding - 2011
If the Union MC Metafuse Binding were an animal, it would be a bad-ass fire-breathing cybernetic stallion sent from the future to intimidate faint-hearted mammals with its fierce technology. The MC gets its incredible light weight and steel-like resilience from a futuristic nanocrystal metal particle coating (each particle’s 1/75,000 the width of a human hair) over the Dupont Zytel ST Nylon heel loop. Because the heel loop shape can be injected, it sits flush with no gap between it and the highback for uninterrupted energy transmission. This advanced technology, plus carbon fiber and CNC milling throughout, result one freakishly lightweight binding (under three pounds per pair)—the flagship (and robot hell-stallion) of the advanced Union Atlas Series and the future of performance bindings.
- Asymmetrical/Symmetrical Carbon-fiber highback reduces weight while still allowing the highback to flex
- Stage III base is carbon-injected for stiffness and response and CNC-machined for super light weight
- Magnesium ratchets with aluminum cores shave weight and hold up for many seasons to come
- Air Core strap uses a supportive internal honeycomb foam construction cutting out the density and therefore the weight
- Carbon fiber toe ramp lets your foot sit at the comfortable and supported angle
- Universal discs included to fit all types of insert patterns include 3-hole and a set of channel-friendly discs with stance window
- Machined aluminum allen hardware is stronger but only a quarter of the weight of standard hardware
Bottom Line: You heard right, it's like a cybernetic stallion from the future.
Leave your mark on The Wall.

Both my buddy and I bought these bindings 1 week ago. 1st day was a Snowbird, and the bindings were great. Lightweight, stiff, real sick. 2nd day was hiking backcountry lines at Park City, again, lightweight bindings, great for hiking. Then the baseplate breaks (right where the lateral part of the heel strap connects to the baseplate). It completely fractures all the way through the base plate. My buddy has his baseplate fracture on the 3rd day (this one actually had the entire heel-cup break off). These bindings are poorly made.
Change me.

A friend uses these and he hasn't had any problems with them. Personally, I think they look cheap and as people here (and Backcountry) have reviewed, they don't stand up to a beating. For Union lovers, I would have gone with some SLs or even Forces and saved money. However, for those carbon fiber lovers, definitely Burton Diodes. Used them, loved them, just can't justify spending $300+ for 'em.

You know they have a lifetime warranty on them right.

That is too bad, I'll have to talk to a guy I know who does QC at the factory that makes Union bindings here in China. Sorry guys, don't let that further the "made in China" stereotype!

Mine did the exact same thing. Heelcup snapped all the way through on third day of use.
