I switched from Spark to Union because of these

I first tested these bindings on a trip to Japan because I only wanted to bring one pair of bindings for my split- and solid boards. With the quiver disks, it's super easy to use these for your solid boards as well. They worked amazingly in all conditions, so I decided I need to get these for my quiver. Switching from hiking to riding mode is a breeze once you got the hang of it. Make sure the bindings are really in a 90-degree angle to put them into the hiking mode or for taking them out - otherwise you could twist the mounts which makes it then harder to get them on and off. Also check that there is no ice build up and they slide all the way in before you snap them down - see above ;)
In my opinion, these are the best splitboard bindings for all those who hike up to enjoy the ride down. The riding-feeling is second to none, it feels like a regular Union binding. The straps are great, the integrated climbing ladder is super easy to use and helps in steeper parts (only one level available though!). All in all, I would recommend these to every splitboarder, if you don't mind the climbing ladder only having one level.
