I've taken the day off today. It's painful walking so I don't think it's worth trying to snowboard...
Anyhow, I just wanted to mention something that I encountered yesterday, but forgot to say in the previous post.
On Sunday, which was the first day I'd used the new Union bindings, I didn't really have time to adjust the straps once I'd realised the default settings were too big. So yesterday morning I shortened both the toe and heel straps. For each, there was only one level of adjustment available in the direction I needed to go (shorter), which didn't leave much margin.
And it turns out that the straps are still kinda too long. I can ride with them, for sure. But as I'm cranking up the heel strap I'm always stopping on the last tooth; same with the two strap. I'd definitely like to be able to make them tighter still.
I did try using the toe straps as a cap-strap, but that doesn't work out too well. It's a shame because the bindings feel really nice. I was a little worried that they might be too soft, but the seem ok in that department. As for their lightness and freestyle-suitability: great.
Does anyone have the Contact bindings? My boot size is right in the middle of the range for the Medium/Large size so it seems strange that the straps should be this long!
