Union Women's Legacy Snowboard Binding - 2025 in Light Blue - Size: Medium

When Ride crafted the A-8 Snowboard Binding, their team of design engineers must have had the all-mountain adventurer in mind, and we're very thankful. We love that this binding's Reverse Ankle Strap lets us tune our board feel from aggressive to playful, while an A-Series aluminum chassis offers reactive flex and power transfer without feeling rigid. Plus, the cored nylon highback keeps weight to a minimum, while still offering up a supportive, responsive feel.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "The Strive 11 bindings are my go-to when setting up skis for friends or rental fleets—they’re super easy to adjust, lightweight, and deliver that low-slung snow feel I love from the regular Strive series. Just a solid, confidence-inspiring binding all around."We love dialing in on-snow feel and effortless adjustments with the Atomic Strive 11 GW bindings. With a lower center of gravity and lighter chassis inspired by the Shift binding line, these are built for skiers who demand responsive control and tool-free versatility. The LDN toe puts you closer to the snow for enhanced feedback and precision, while the automatic wing adjustment ensures a snug, safe fit across a range of boot shapes. Tool-free length adjustment makes setup a breeze, especially for multi-user skis or growing skiers. GripWalk and alpine sole compatibility round out the features that make this a resort workhorse with all-mountain soul.

Back for another season, the Lexa X EST Snowboard Binding still offers the most-popular pro-caliber control on the mountain. With upgrades that make this binding lighter and reground materials that make the design greener, this year's edition is our favorite yet. Double Take buckles with Insta-Click let us strap in fast so we can keep charging lap after lap, and the supportive Heel Hammock and highback keep us comfortable while maximizing support. Underfoot, the strong, responsive, and shockingly playful baseplate is equipped with shock-absorbing EVA and B3 gel padding.

Built for our afternoon park laps, late-night urban sessions, and all-terrain assaults at the resort, the Arbor Hemlock Snowboard Binding is freestyle-oriented offering that we love to send. It combines a softer-flexing highback with a responsive baseplate to give us a ride that can get loose on jibs, spin-off jumps, and carve at high speeds. Its asymmetrical highback offers an ergonomic feel for better control and comfort, and its softer flex lets us tweak grabs and play around in the park. The System-X baseplate enhances performance by efficiently transferring energy, responding quickly, and keeping us in total control.

An all-mountain binding for the rider who wants to charge fast and steep runsThe A-8 is designed for all-mountain performance. This binding is precise and aggressive for the snowboarder that demands the most from their bindings. The Reversible Ankle Strap provides two riding positions. Ride with the stiff part of the strap on the top for a more aggressive feel or swap the straps so the soft part is on top for more flexibility and lateral movement. The A-Series aluminum chassis provides the reactive flex and power transfer of aluminum with less rigidity than previous designs. The canted footbed aligns your joints with a 2. 5 degree angle while providing more leverage over the tip and tail of your board. Integrated rubber PODS make for an even smoother ride and the TPU basepad damps out high-speed vibrations. The A-8 is designed for an advanced rider looking for all-mountain performance.

This season, we’re striving to ski steeper and deeper lines. The Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Binding offers us the same durability as the Attack 13, but with a redesigned toepiece and an easier DIN adjustment for extra confidence while dropping cliffs.

Salomon stunned skiers on both sides of the rope with a revolutionary binding that accepts both backcountry and resort boots, and now Salomon redesigned the S/Lab Shift MNC 10 Ski Binding with a lighter weight. Its innovative, versatile design accepts boots with tech bindings for touring in the backcountry, and then locks in like an alpine binding for downhill riding with DIN-certified release ratings. This S/Lab Shift boasts the softest DIN rating out of any MNC binding from Salomon. On the uphill, the Shift's dual heel risers assist you when the skin track gets steep. Salomon made the binding out of carbon-infused material to keep weight down and stiffness high.

K2 Snowboarding has reputable experience leading the industry in innovative binding tech, and the Clicker X HB Snowboard Binding locks down that lead with comfort and convenience. We can't get enough of how this binding delivers that ideal combination of rock-solid toe and heel mount points, a highly responsive and supportive nylon highback, and natural lateral mobility for the flex and feel that lack in lesser step-in options.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I run these 85mm Race Pro Power Brake Arms on my race skis and they’re super low profile, which is key when I’m angling hard into turns. They offer secure retention and stay tucked away when clicked in—exactly what I need when edge clearance and reliable performance matter most." When every fraction of a second matters, we count on precision gear like the Tyrolia Race Pro Power Brake Arms. Designed specifically for race setups, these 85mm-wide brake arms deliver the hold and clearance we need to commit to tight turns without interference. The low-profile design minimizes drag and eliminates edge catch, giving us full confidence whether we're railing gates or laying trenches on early-morning groomers. Compatible with Tyrolia Race Pro bindings, these brake arms ensure a snug fit and consistent release—so we can focus on speed, control, and the perfect line. Built for those who push limits on hardpack, they’re a small but critical part of any race-ready setup.
