Hello and welcome to my list of the best freestyle snowboard bindings for women for the 2019/20 winter season.
These bindings have all been assessed specifically for their performance for freestyle riding.
Comparison Stats
Of the 15 different women’s freestyle bindings that I looked at:
O.k. let’s get into the top 5.
WOMEN'S FREESTYLE BINDING #5
Bindings: Burton Stiletto
Price: View More Info and Current Prices Here
Flex: Medium-Soft (3/10)
Smart Rating Score: 79.9/100
Starting off the list at #5 are the Burton Stiletto.
The Stiletto boast a great mix of board feel and shock absorption to help dial in those freestyle moves. They're also the cheapest on this list, and the softest flexing - so if you're on a budget and/or looking for something nice soft and forgiving, then the Stiletto might be a good option for you.

The Stiletto also comes in the EST version (to work with Burton snowboards that have the Channel system). These will feel slightly different but should offer a similar binding to the Re:Flex version with slightly less shock absorption but slightly better board feel.

WOMEN'S FREESTYLE BINDING #4
Bindings: Ride DVA
Price: View More Info and Current Prices Here
Flex: Medium-soft (4/10)
Smart rating score: 81.0/100
Ride's DVA bindings make #4 on this list.
Like any good freestyle binding should the DVAs offer up great board feel and absorb shock well. They are also really comfortable to keep you riding all day.
On top of that, they have pretty decent response for their flex, giving you that ability to carve a little more aggressively when you feel the need.

WOMEN'S FREESTYLE BINDING #1
Bindings: Union Milan
Price: View More Info and Current Prices Here
Flex: Medium-soft (4/10)
Smart Rating Score: 92.9/100
Union’s Milan bindings provide great board feel and that’s largely down to the mini-disc that it uses.
The Milan’s are also really comfortable with great cushioning for absorbing the shock on those landings – and they also have some really decent response for their flex, so if you want to also ride these over the rest of the mountain, you can do that too – and use the whole mountain as a park.
Finally, like most Union bindings, the Milan’s are extremely light weight, which just ads to their comfort and their performance.

Hi I have a question about whether I might have bought the wrong bindings for my snowboard. I’m 5’5, 110 lbs, sz 8 shoe. I ride a ladies choice 145.5. I bought the Burton escapes bindings in medium but now I’m thinking maybe I should have bought softer flexing bindings because all the freestyle recommended ones seem softer. Should I repurchase some softer bindings?
Hi Diana
Thanks for your message.
I think the Escapade bindings are perfect for the Ladies Choice. Whilst the Ladies Choice is freestyle oriented (what I classify as all-mountain-freestyle), I would be matching matching flex first and foremost. I labelled this list freestyle bindings and the Escapades in “all-mountain” bindings, but you can definitely use the Escapades for riding freestyle and riding all-mountain. Matching the flex is the most important factor, IMO. The Escapades at a 5/10 flex match perfectly, IMO, to the Ladies Choice. So you’re good there, IMO.
Hope this helps
