What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I ran the Charger Splitboard Binding on a big spring objective in the Cascades, and the pinless transition system was a genuine game changer when my hands were cold, and I just wanted to get moving on the descent. The EXP4 Duraflex ST highback kept its response exactly where I wanted it even when the temperature dropped hard on the upper mountain."The ridge is right there, and the conditions are perfect, but the window is closing. Getting in and out of tour mode quickly is not a luxury in the backcountry; it is part of the mission. The Charger Splitboard Binding from Union is built around that reality, featuring a Pinless Dual Lock System that makes transitions feel less like a chore and more like part of the flow. Less fumbling, more charging. The S3 EXP Duraflex ST baseplate and EXP4 Duraflex ST highback form a platform built specifically for steep descents and variable snow, with high-fiberglass construction that stays responsive even when the cold tries to take the life out of your gear. Lightweight magnesium adapter plates trim grams on the climb without sacrificing connection on the way down, and the HP EVA bushing absorbs trail chatter across long approaches so legs arrive at the top fresher and ready to perform. From the Exoframe 4. 0 Slim ankle strap to Grade 8. 8 steel hardware throughout, the Charger Splitboard Binding is built to earn its place on serious missions.
