WOMEN'S FREESTYLE BINDING #5

Bindings: Jones Equinox
- CA
- UK/EU
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Smart rating score: 84.7/100
Starting off the list at #5 are Jones' Equinox bindings.
The Equinox give a great experience for freestyle riding, with their great slow speed response and top tier shock absorption.
They're also nice and comfortable and have strap hinges that make them nice and easy to get in and out of, without stepping on the straps.

Coming in at #3, we have Burton's Scribe bindings.
The Scribe provide great shock absorption and board feel, which are very important for freestyle riding, IMO - but are also nice and adjustable and comfortable.

WOMEN'S FREESTYLE BINDING #1

Bindings: Union Women's Ultra
- CA
- UK/EU
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Smart Rating Score: 90.5/100
Finally, in at #1, we have Union's Women's Ultra bindings.
The Women's Ultra feature an almost unbelievable combo of shock absorption and board feel, that will have you riding every feature and hitting every side hit you can find.
Their slow speed response also makes them great for setting up tricks and they even have decent carveability for when you want to lay down some carves on the groomers.
Just all round, high quality bindings, highly suited to riding freestyle, but would do almost just as well as all-mountain bindings.

Hi Nate
Would the ultras go well with the ladies choice or would escapades still be a better combo?
Hi Jo
Thanks for your message.
I think the Ultras would work with the Ladies Choice for sure. The Escapades maybe a slightly better flex match, but very little in it. The Ultras would be a good match, IMO.
Hope this helps with your decision
Thanks Nate. Would the Ultras be too stiff for the space metal fantasy?
Hi Jo
I think the Ultras would work well on the Space Metal Fantasy. Not too stiff for it at all, IMO.
Hi Nate,
What do you think about the Ultras vs the Trilogy? I have a mountain twin and am unsure which to get. I’m a solid easy black rider, and learning to try some jumps, practice more switch riding, and basically have a great time on the hill on both pow and hard packed days. My old board (clyde board, locally built in Calgary in 2008) has the 2021 Union Trilogy and they have been great for me so far, but I want a second set of bindings for the MT. I’ve been using the old set up to teach or icy/mogul days which has been good so far. Maybe the Ultras should go on the old board, and I use the MT for bigger faster days. Any comments would be great!
Hi Michelle
Thanks for your message.
Both match the Mountain Twin. I would say that the Trilogy are a slightly better flex match. But the Ultras are better for freestyle riding and would be suitable on the MT. The Ultras give you better shock absorption and better board feel and a little more pop too. The Trilogy will drive the board harder, so better for speed and carving, but for what you’re describing I think the Ultra could work well. I don’t know Clyde boards, so I’m not sure how that rides, so hard to say whether you’d be better putting the Ultras on that and using it as your more playful option or not. Is there anything you can tell me about the board. i.e. is it soft flexing or stiffer? Is it twin or directional?
Hi Nate, Thanks for the reply. The Clyde board has more flex now, originally medium stiffness, and is a twin board. I’ve also ridden it for a good 8-10 seasons so I think it’s lost some stiffness over time.
Thanks Michelle.
In that case I would probably put the Ultras on the Clyde and the Trilogy on the MT.
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
