Picking on NOW? A first year product? Oh and even for a first year product I was more impressed than with Union. Yeah Rides web breaks, and somehow it doesn't effect the functionality. Which is why it"s the most popular mod to Unions.

Nice try.

Union needs to bring back the gen2 strap or shrink the one they have by 25%.

And your comment about Flux, why is it no one complains about their toe strap? Or toe ratchet? Or anything really? Oh right, cause anyone that doesn't like Union is just a hater.

My flux blow so hard. Unibody baseplace that feels like a tank. Hollow ankle strap provides no support. And ratchets that stick, don't slide down the ladder, and only click 1-2 ladder steps at a time. The only thing they have going for them is the toe cap and the quick release of the 3 stage ratchets. They're far from top tier bindings. Which sucks, because I was really rooting for the company.

as for the rome's i have a pair of 390s from at least 4 years ago and the toe straps on those are still money. my room mate is using them now with no problems what so ever. the "useless" rubber does a great job at staying in place, way better then i was ever able to get with unions.
