What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The Cadet Pro is seriously impressive-it rides more like an adult binding but is sized right for younger riders. The stiffer flex and Force-inspired highback give kids real response, while the EVA bushings and canted footbeds keep things comfortable. It's the perfect step up when a rider is ready to push their limits."The Union Cadet Pro Snowboard Binding proves that young riders don't need to compromise when it comes to performance. Inspired by Union's legendary Force, the Cadet Pro delivers the same durability, response, and precision-just scaled down for smaller boots and lighter riders. Union's Stage 5 Duraflex baseplate ensures consistent flex in any temperature, while the multi-density EXT Thermoformed EVA bushings keep the ride smooth and damp season after season. The S19 Duraflex ST highback adds pro-level edge-to-edge response without sacrificing comfort, while ExoFrame 3. 0 ankle straps and TS 2. 1 toe straps lock boots in with a secure, pressure-free fit. Aluminum ratchets and Grade 8. 8 steel hardware guarantee long-lasting reliability no matter how hard kids push their riding. With compatibility across all major mounting systems and a medium flex tuned for progression, the Cadet Pro equips the next generation of snowboarders to ride harder, progress faster, and have more fun every run.
