"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I love the Explorer bindings because they actually feel like my resort setup on the descent. They're easy to transition and incredibly durable—I’ve taken them through multi-day tours and gnarly lines and never second-guessed them. Plus, the ride feel is just so smooth compared to most split bindings.""We splitboard for freedom, and the Union Explorer Splitboard Bindings make sure nothing gets in our way on the skintrack—or the ride down. Designed to feel like our regular bindings, the Explorer excels in downhill performance without adding complexity or weight to the climb. The SP2 Duraflex CB baseplate is the heart of the system, offering a responsive yet forgiving flex that mirrors our resort setup. Paired with the EXOFrame 4. 0 ankle strap and magnesium ratchets, it provides a secure, supportive fit for technical descents. The included Explorer Split Disk and touring bracket simplify transitions and lock us into a natural stance for both hiking and riding. Built for all-day touring, aggressive terrain, and backcountry missions, the Explorer is a lightweight and reliable companion in the wild."
