What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "The Source FC is hands-down the most precise binding I've ever strapped into. The forged carbon keeps it insanely light without losing strength, and the Direct Connect system makes every movement transfer instantly to the board. It feels like you're riding with zero lag-just pure response." When we want the lightest, most responsive ride possible, we strap into the Union Source FC. Designed with forged carbon and Union's groundbreaking Direct Connect system, this binding strips away excess weight and lowers baseplate height to deliver the closest possible connection to our snowboard. Every ounce of energy transfers instantly, giving us the control and precision to push harder in any terrain. The S10 Halo Duraflex XB baseplate pairs with a forged carbon gas pedal and heelcup for power that doesn't compromise comfort. Hi-Flex EVA bushings smooth out chatter without dulling response, while the S18 Source FC highback and integrated 3-stage FLAD keep us dialed in and locked to our line. Phantom Slim ankle straps and TS 6. 0 toe straps provide low-profile security, and titanium hardware and magnesium ratchets shave grams while boosting durability. Built in Italy for riders who demand pro-level performance, the Source FC is snowboarding refined.
