If your rider is at the edge of two sizes, size up for more room to grow — kids go through bindings fast. Boots should sit snug inside the binding with no heel lift. The Extruded 3D Aluminum heelcup adjusts with growing feet, so the Cadet is built to last multiple seasons.
Component Breakdown
S8 Duraflex Baseplate
Union's lightest youth baseplate ever built — the S8 Duraflex delivers adult-binding performance in a youth-tuned package. Asymmetrical shape reduces weight without sacrificing strength. Backed by Union's lifetime warranty.
Cadet Duraflex Highback
Designed with smaller boots in mind — the Cadet Duraflex highback delivers the response and support kids need without the bulk of adult bindings. Ready to take on any terrain: groomers, park, side hits, or powder.
Exoframe 2.0 Ankle Strap
Lightweight, super durable, and provides a locked-in ride feel. The Exoframe 2.0 gives young riders a secure ankle hold without pressure points — comfortable enough for all-day progression.
TS 2.1 UltraGrip Toe Strap
Multi-positional options and thermoplastic anti-slip material keep young riders locked in and on point. Fits to any boot and holds through aggressive riding — Union's proven toe strap technology in a kid-friendly package.
Aluminum S2 Ratchets w/ Steel Base
Fast in, fast out — Union's aluminum ratchets are easy to use and made to stand the test of time. The steel base adds durability for riders who crank down hard, while the aluminum keeps the binding lightweight.
Extruded 3D Aluminum Heelcup
Designed for optimum heel hold and minimization of drag — and easily adjusts with growing feet. The heelcup grows with your rider, so the Cadet lasts multiple seasons as feet get bigger. Same lifetime warranty as Union's adult bindings.
Thermoformed EVA Bushing & Footbed
Shock-absorbing EVA padding saves heels and promotes a true and even board flex. The Thermoformed EVA bushing paired with the Duraflex footbed delivers lightweight cushioning with all-day comfort and vibration dampening — easier on young knees.
Cam-Lock Forward Lean Adjuster
Quickly adjust the forward lean angle to suit the terrain in front of you — no tools required. Dial in for park laps, then reset for groomer cruising. Tool-less adjustment means kids (or parents) can tune on the fly.
Grade 8.8 Steel Hardware
The strongest steel available on the market. Comes pre-installed so you can mount and ride without a hardware run to the shop. Grade 8.8 steel holds up to whatever young riders throw at it.
