On the road
So I haven't forgotten about the blog this past week or so, I've been traveling quite a bit. The season has started in CO with the opening of both A-Basin and Loveland. I'm hoping to get out and shred when I get home this week. Review of the lib-tech skunk ape coming soon.

Hi JT,
Sorry wasn't sure where to post this..
Was just wondering what your thoughts were on the Union Force SL.. Whats the big difference between the Force and the SL apart from the SL being machine cored?
Cheers

Hey Rob,
No worries, I'll be adding a Q&A Section soon where you can post various questions etc. As for the differences on the SL vs the standard Force, there are a few differences. As you mentioned the machined core is one of them. The SL is a lighter, stronger version of the standard Force bindings, with the MC being the lightest of the group. The hardware on the SL is slightly different as well as it is CNC machined to be lighter/stronger than previous generations etc. The Force is a great binding, the SL and MC make it even greater be extending comfort and reducing the weight of the binding without sacrificing quality or dependability really.

Rob,
Yeah the SLs are slick and pretty lightweight as Union bindings go. They should be pretty solid with the Legacy. One thing to keep in mind with Union bindings (always check to make sure the bindings mountware is screwed tightly.) Sometimes you may find that the screws and such have come undone after a bit of riding. I always check my Unions after each day of riding to make sure the screws and such are still tight for my next day or riding.
