The Contact Pro developed into something plusher. It's light at around 820 g each. The distinctive part is that the highback isn't uniformly stiff — medium on the outside, very soft on the inside — which makes it feel soft and twisty overall and gives it the least calf bite of any highback the reviewer has worn. Underfoot uses a new plastic/EVA/rubber blend that makes buttering even easier than on the Strata or Falcor. The response isn't at the top of Union's line, but it was far better than expected.

Suits beginner to expert riders

Good

  • Almost no calf bite — the least of any highback the reviewer has worn
  • Flexes underfoot better than even the Strata or Falcor — buttering is very easy
  • Light (around 820 g each)
  • Smoother and better response than expected

Not so good

  • Not a fit if you want a lot of forward lean
  • Not among the more responsive bindings in Union's line
