thx for the honest review man. I bought these last year to pair w my pow board (Ride Wildlife). I’m selling them. Unimpressed and they’re way overpriced in Unions line. I have Contact Pro’s on my park board and they’re much better bindings. For anyone looking into these - a few important things to know. 1. the footbed is enormous. Too big. It will hang over both edges...even w a wide board. 2. The toe strap webbing is too narrow...doesn’t grip and hold well over the toes. 3. Toe straps connect to adjustable plastic grooves in base to move forwards or back...they don’t lock in well at all. Union thinks it’s clever. It’s really just over engineered. So your ladder straps will constantly be floating around when you unstrap. Overall, for $280 this binding is a miss by Union w/ some odd design decisions. Was bummed. Replaced w/ the Malavitas which are far superior in every aspect.
@ultramo.3 жыл бұрын
I have 4 of these and love them. Overpriced? An opinion, but not mine. 1. Foot beds are larger than average due to the perimeter rubber which really improves dampening, I ride med bindings, size 8 Addias Acerra 3st ADV boots, not a problem unless you ride large bindings with narrower boards and narrow stances 2. Toe strap hold is amazing, no problems here. The ankle strap is also superb, comfortable and locks you down 3. No problems with any of my four bindings. The bindings and Union clever? We agree. Over engineered? Disagree, well engineered and integrated, but the heel loop and ankle strap adjustment isn't class leading as Burton top models. Sold all my Malavitas and Cartels and replaced them with Stratas. Malavitas are damp to a fault, the highback webbing not durable and shreds, burton buckles aren't as smooth and the ratcheting not as positive feeling. Cartels are great but not nearly as damp, straps aren't as comfortable or lock you down and again the buckles don't compare. But my gripes about my beloved Stratas are: heel cup paint can chip and they're not as adjustable - ankle strap location, highback rotation, heel cup rotation and extension as Burton. Overall the best bindings I've ever ridden and my go to, super responsive yet surfy, playful, damp, and comfortable, plus they give me extra spring and pop, hard to explain, you must try it to believe it. To each their own. Ride hard, have fun, be nice and run over skiers, J/K, maybe...

Been on a pair of these for 2 seasons now and they’re exactly how you described them. You just forget about em. they’ve never given me any problems and they do exactly what you want, when you want them to. In my book that’s a perfect binding. I don’t want to be always thinking about what I can adjust, I just want them to work with me

I'm torn between Union or Flux when it comes to response. I have the Atlas but super curious on the Flux XF. And yeah, the Strata's forward lean adjustment is lame. Funny how it took Union this long to address the ankle straps screws from coming loose.

My Malavitas (reflex) baseplate has broken (frame, I don't even know when), I had my money back but I wonder would it be good idea to replace it with Stratas? Any recommendations? Did you ride the Stratas? Oh and would you recommend winged Malavitas, because I'm thinking about it too. I'm curious about the Unions but I see comments are not in favour of Stratas.

"Did you ride the Stratas? " Why the fuck would we review something we didn't ride?

So ive noticed you guys do not test union bindings....ever. Like, absolutely never. Any reason for this? Just because the "union or die, bro" hype? Just curious. haha

The 6 series would probably be the closest. 8 would be a little stiffer.

I have problems with the forward lean adjuster it dosen’t lock ! In the last 2 teeth ! Only in one binding, its to dificult to move and you have to take off your gloves to do it all time thats F##$$& All the money we paid for those strata !! Come on UNION bindings co cut the crap and just leave it like the other ones !!! down side with this shit, rest of the binding is great ! Im been snowboarding since the 1991 ! Just put some crew there !!!

I blew my stratas highback adjustment off on a tree on a 3ft pow day. Was wondering why my back foot felt so weird until I looked down. Union sent me 2 but it took a couple weeks back in March.

I've now had BOTH Strata bindings break in the same spot!!! WOW WTF!!! The base plate came apart on the outward facing side of each binding, right above where it says "Strata." BEWARE!!!!! I paid over $300 for a Mattel product. Completely and utterly disappointed. WOW! They are TRASH! Just got a replacement right base plate. Now the left breaks...I've owned them for less than 3 months! Both failed in under 3 months.
