Union 2026 Cadet Kids Snowboard Bindings – Black
The Union Cadet is designed to help young riders progress with confidence. Lightweight, comfortable and fully adjustable, it gives kids the support they need to learn turns, explore the mountain and start hitting their first jumps without feeling overpowered by a stiff adult-style binding.
Union builds the Cadet with the same emphasis on durability and performance found throughout its adult binding line, but scales the fit, flex and adjustability for younger riders. A soft, forgiving flex keeps the ride comfortable and easy to control, while the adjustable heelcup, straps and footbed help accommodate growing feet.
