Our Take: Traditionally when we hear the word “Strata,” images of delectable breakfast casseroles come to mind. A medley of bread, eggs, and cheese layered and baked together to create a timeless comfort food that is loved by billions. Literally.
However, the time has now come to replace those mental images of savory breakfast dishes with something truly mental; the all-new Strata binding. Just like its namesake, we’ve combined a medley of Bad-ass features into one Bad-ass binding.
The Strata is a completely new binding to Union’s line featuring a Fused Vaporlite baseplate that is more waterproof, durable, and precise than any other EVA material in the industry. It also sports the Forma Ankle Strap that has gotten an update for this season. This strap has a minimalist feel but has a level of comfort and performance that is second to none.
The Strata has taken the snowboard binding design to the next level and will blaze its own path into the future. You don’t have to take our word for it though, the Strata will make a believer out of you for itself. Strap in, we dare you.
