"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve set these up for groms and they’re legit—lightweight, easy to adjust, and super durable. The straps are comfortable and secure, and the softer flex makes it easier for kids to link turns without fighting their gear. Plus, parents love that they’re built with the same quality materials as Union’s adult bindings."" The Union Cadet Mini Snowboard Binding proves that young riders deserve gear built with the same quality and performance as the pros. Union designed this binding specifically for smaller boots and lighter bodies, giving kids the comfort, control, and durability they need to fall in love with riding. The Stage 5 XS Duraflex baseplate and Cadet XS Duraflex highback provide the perfect balance of support and forgiveness, while EXT Thermoformed EVA bushings help smooth out choppy runs. Lightweight Forma XS ankle straps and the new TS 2. 1 Ultragrip toe straps keep small boots locked in comfortably, and aluminum ratchets make on-the-fly adjustments simple. To top it off, these bindings even come in a reusable insulated kids’ lunch box—adding a fun bonus for the ride home. With progression-focused design and rugged construction, the Cadet Mini helps the next generation build skills and confidence on the mountain."
