#5: Jones Aurora
Flex: Mid-Stiff (7/10)
Rating Score: 85.6/100
Price: View More Info and Current Prices at the links in the tabs below.
Compatibility: 2x4 | 4x4 | CHANNEL
Starting off the list at #5, we have the Jones Aurora. Jones are relative newcomers to the bindings game. However, their bindings are built of YES's (formerly NOW's) tech, so tech-wise, they have been around longer than the Jones name has been on them.
The Aurora is Jones' stiffest women's binding and provide great response and support of carving and, typical of YES (NOW)/Jones bindings, have next level shock absorption.
A great option for hard charging riders who are matching to a stiffer flexing board.
#4: Burton Lexa X Re:Flex
Flex: Mid-Stiff (7/10)
Rating Score: 87.8/100

Next up we have Burton's Lexa X snowboard bindings.
The Lexa X performs really well in all the aspects that we test for - we found no weaknesses with these bindings.
They are the most responsive women’s bindings in Burton’s line up and are a binding for the more aggressive, hard charging rider and not for more casual playful riders – though one great thing is that, due to the way the bindings flex with the board, they are actually quite easy to butter with.
You can definitely still ride them freestyle - but more for advanced freestyle riders.
The Lexa X comes in both Re:Flex (to mount on 2 x 4 and 4 x 4 insert patterns in addition to the channel system) and EST (only mount to boards that use the channel system) versions. See #2 below for the EST version.
#3: Rome Women's Katana
Flex: Mid-Stiff (6.5/10)
Rating Score: 88.8/100
Price: View More Info and Current Prices at the links in the tabs below.
Compatibility: 2x4 | 4x4 | CHANNEL
The Women's Katana is new for this year and provides a women's version of the popular, longstanding, Katana. But it's been tweaked to fit better with women's ergonomics.
But just like the non-women's Katana they are really well rounded bindings that are on the stiffer side of medium. They provide a great balance between being able to still do tight, quick turns at lower speeds well, but also offer enough support when really leaning into carves and doing things at high speeds, when there is more pressure/force being applied to the bindings.
On top of that, they provide great board feel and shock absorption and are the most adjustable bindings that we've had the pleasure to tinker with.
#2: Burton Lexa X EST
Flex: Mid-Stiff (7/10)
Rating Score: 88.8/100
Price: View More Info and Current Prices at the links in the tabs below.
Compatibility: CHANNEL ONLY
This is Burton's "EST" version of the Burton Lexa X (see #4 for more on the Re:Flex model).
Essentially what the EST means is that it can only be mounted to snowboards that have the channel system (which is predominantly Burton boards). You might wonder why you would want an EST version if the Re:Flex version can already mount to the channel?
And that's a fair question. The EST version mounts in a certain way to the channel that allows for better board feel, in my experience. And that connection also tends to make for better carving performance.
If you have a Burton board(s) - or other board that uses the channel - and aren't planning on changing any time soon, then I would go with the EST version. If you plan to use it on boards that don't use the channel, then Re:Flex is the way to go.
#1: Flux Women's XF
Flex: Mid-Stiff (7/10)
Rating Score: 93.1/100
Price: View More Info and Current Prices at the links in the tabs below.
Compatibility: 2x4 | 4x4 | CHANNEL
Taking over from where the Flux GX left off, the Women's XF is an no-brainer straight swap to take the #1 position this year. In fact, they are essentially the same bindings and for the most part it is just a name change.
The Women's XF is a stiff flexing binding that offers the ultimate in response and ankle support. If you want to crank those bindings down and really charge hard and feel like they are just an extension of your body – they have you covered.
Not for the faint hearted or the beginner rider. If you’re an advanced level rider and you can handle these bindings, then you’ll be rewarded with oodles of performance.

Rating score: 91.1/100

Next up, at #2, we have Rome's Katana bindings. These bindings are unisex, rather than women's specific, but they come in a small (suitable for US women's 6.5-9) and M/L (suitable for women's 8.5-12. So whilst it doesn't accommodate all sizes, it covers a good range.
The Katana are the kind of bindings you can lay really deep into a carve in and do a great job of managing both good board feel and shock absorption.
And these are probably the most adjustable bindings going around, making them great for getting fully dialed in with your boots and board.

WOMEN'S FREERIDE BINDING #3
Bindings: Union Trilogy

The Trilogy aren't super stiff, but still one of the stiffer women's bindings offerings - and they work really well if you're wanting to bomb hard and carve deep.
There are no obvious weaknesses with these bindings - and as a bonus they are actually really reasonably priced - lowest priced binding in this list.

Women’s Freeride Bindings #3
Bindings: Union Legacy
Price: $259
Rating score: 84.7/100
Flex: Medium (6 out of 10)
Starting out the list at #3, are Union’s Legacy bindings.
The Legacy’s are the softest flexing of the 3 bindings on this list, but they’re still certainly not soft, and they pack the responsiveness of stiffer flexing bindings.
They are also super light, comfortable and provide great board feel.

Women’s Freeride Bindings #2
Bindings: Burton Lexa
Price: $299
Rating score: 87.4/100
Flex: Medium (6/10)
The #2 bindings in this list are the Burton Lexas.
Super comfort, adjustability and shock absorption are just the start for the Lexa’s.
They are also the most responsive women’s bindings in Burton’s line up.
Like the GXs, the Lexa’s are a binding for the aggressive, hard charging rider and not for more casual playful riders – though one great thing is that, due to the way the bindings flex with the board, they are actually quite easy to butter (especially the EST versions). And with the option to go zero lean in the high-back, you can definitely still ride them freestyle.
The Lexa’s come in both Re:Flex (to mount on snowboards other than Burton boards with the channel system) and EST (to mount on Burton boards that use the channel system) versions.

Women’s Freeride Bindings #1
Bindings: Flux GX
Price: $275
Rating score: 91.1/100
Flex: Medium-Stiff (7/10)
And in the #1 spot, we have the Flux GX.
A rarity in the world of women’s bindings the Flux GX is a stiff flexing binding that offers the ultimate in response and ankle support.
If you want to crank those bindings down and really charge hard and feel like those bindings are just an extension of your body – then the GX has you covered.
Not for the faint hearted or the beginner rider. If you’re an advanced level rider and you can tame these bindings, then you’ll be rewarded with oodles of performance.

Women’s Freeride Bindings #3
Bindings: Rome Women’s Katana
Price: $299
Rating score: 80.5/100
Flex: Medium (6 out of 10)
Starting out the list at #3, are the Rome’s Women’s Katanas.
Though I would consider the Women’s Katana to be an all-mountain binding rather than a freeride binding, I included it here as the best freeride-suitable all-mountain binding that I rated.
So, if you like a bit more of a medium flex, even for hard charging riding, then the Katana might be the best option for you.
Either way, they still have great response, have heaps of shock absorption and are really comfortable.

A rarity in the world of women’s bindings the Flux GX is a stiff flexing binding that offers the ultimate in response and locked down boot support.
If you want to crank those bindings down and really charge hard and feel like those bindings are just an extension of your body – then the GX has you covered.
Not for the faint hearted or the beginner rider. If you’re an advanced level rider and you can tame these bindings, then you’ll be rewarded with oodles of performance.

Women’s Freeride Bindings #1

Price: $279
Rating score: 91.5/100
Flex: Medium-Stiff
And the # bindings in this list are the Burton Lexas!
Super comfort, adjustability and shock absorption are just the start for the Lexa’s.
They are also the most responsive women’s bindings in Burton’s line up and have that great medium-stiff flex for getting everything you possibly can out of them.

Buying Past Season Models
Often models don't change that much from year to year so if you can find a past season model, it will likely be close enough to the latest model but you can get it cheaper, if available and in a suitable size for you. For past year's models check out the links below to see if they still have any left.
