Women's Bindings

• Women’s snowboard bindings: choosing well according to your riding style

  Understanding the importance of snowboard bindings

  Women’s snowboard bindings are not just copies of men's models. They are specifically designed to fit female morphology: narrower feet, lower calves, and a different center of gravity. Understanding the importance of snowboard bindings ensures better comfort, improved responsiveness, and smoother control on the board. Choosing the right binding guarantees a more precise and enjoyable ride.

  The different types of bindings for women snowboarders

  Strap-In bindings: precise fit and secure hold

  The Strap-In system is the most popular. It includes a chassis, a highback, and two ergonomic straps:

  • An ankle strap to secure the instep.
  • A toe cap strap that perfectly wraps the front of the boot.

  These bindings offer personalized adjustment, perfect for those who want to fine-tune their hold to the millimeter. Their excellent shock absorption and precision make them a favored choice for all skill levels.

  Rear-entry bindings: speed and comfort

  Rear entry bindings appeal to women snowboarders seeking practicality. Thanks to a highback that flips back, you step in within seconds without handling straps. Some hybrid versions also allow traditional entry. This system is ideal for riders who want to maximize time on the snow.

  Step-On bindings: modernity and simplicity

  With the Step-On system, straps are eliminated! The boot clips directly into the binding via a clever anchoring system. Developed notably by Burton, this system ensures optimal hold while making entry ultra-simple. It’s the perfect solution for modern female snowboarders seeking speed and comfort.

  Snowboard bindings: choosing well according to your riding style

  The choice of a women’s snowboard binding must match your riding style. The flex, highback type, and tolerance vary according to your discipline. Here’s how to make the right choice:

  Freeride: for expert riders on demanding terrain

  Stiff bindings are ideal for women who enjoy speed, steep slopes, and powder. They offer:

  • A stiff highback for better energy transfer.
  • A hard flex ensuring optimal precision in turns.
  • A lightweight and robust construction to master technical terrains.

  They suit experienced riders seeking performance and power.

  All Mountain: the perfect balance

  All Mountain bindings are versatile and adapt to all terrains. With a medium flex, they offer:

  • Good responsiveness on piste.
  • Comfort for long sessions.
  • Considerable forgiveness to progress smoothly.

  They are the ideal choice for riders who like variety without changing their setup.

  Freestyle / Park: freedom and creativity

  Soft bindings are perfect for freestyle and park. They provide:

  • Great freedom of movement for tricks and jumps.
  • Excellent shock absorption for smooth landings.
  • A soft flex facilitating presses and tweaks.

  Perfect for riders wanting to express themselves freely on park features.

  Flexibility and forgiveness: a matter of feeling

  A soft binding suits beginners or freestyle enthusiasts better. It offers more comfort and forgiveness. Conversely, a stiff binding is more demanding but provides great precision. The choice depends on your preferences and level.

  Binding sizes: choosing well according to your boots

  The right binding size is essential for support, safety, and pressure transfer. Here is a guideline:

  • Size S: boots size 35 to 37
  • Size M: boots size 38 to 41
  • Size L: boots size 42 and above

  Note, each brand offers its own sizes: always check the provided size chart. A well-fitted binding improves stability and reduces injury risk.

  Adjustments and customization: a real plus

  A well-designed women’s snowboard binding allows several adjustments to refine comfort and precision:

  • Adjustment of the highback angle (forward lean).
  • Strap adjustment according to foot shape.
  • Disk position to adapt angle and stance width according to your preferences.
