The Top All Mountain Bindings For Women: My Top 5

Bindings: Flux GS

Smart rating score: 84.9/100

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Starting off the list at #5, we have the Flux GS. 

The GS might lack somewhat in the shock absorption department but they more than make up for it everywhere else.

Really good response that belies their flex, great ankle support (typical of Flux bindings) and super comfortable. 

The kind of binding that you can use across multiple boards and that you can use anywhere on the groomers, in the backcountry and in the park. 

Score Breakdown for the GS

Bindings: Burton Lexa

Smart rating score: 87.1/100

Flex: Medium (6/10)

And in at #4, we have Burton's Lexa bindings. 

The Lexa offer up some really nice features, particularly for the price point. 

They provide a good amount of response, are super-comfortable and really have no weaknesses. If you're looking for a binding on the slightly stiffer end of medium (but still very much medium), these are worth checking out.

Score Breakdown for the Lexa

Like most Burton bindings they come in an EST version, which fits Burton’s Channel System and the Re:Flex version (which fits 2 x 4 and 4 x 4 systems in addition to as the Channel system).

Bindings: K2 Hue

Smart rating score: 87.6/100

Flex: Medium (6/10)

The K2 Hue is a decently responsive binding with great board feel (thanks in part to K2's mini-disc and Tripod Chassis System). 

It's like a women's specific hybrid of the K2 Lien AT and K2 Lineup, offering the perfect sweet spot between freestyle and freeride, able to excel anywhere on the mountain and do anything.

It's a great option for that do-it-all one board quiver snowboard or as bindings that can accommodate a multi-board quiver (if you don't want to have multiple pairs of bindings). 

Particularly good for a multi-board quiver, given that you can adjust the flex slightly, by swapping out the damping pods and "Lock Block" for stiffer or softer options.

Bindings: Burton Escapade

Smart rating score: 93.0/100  

Flex: Medium (5/10)

In at #2 we have the Burton Escapades.

Apart from being a little less responsive than some of the bindings on this list, the Escapade is pretty close to the ideal women’s all mountain binding.

They are versatile enough to do everything you want from the park to the backcountry and everything in between.

They have the luxury of comfort to keep you riding all day comfortably, awesome shock absorption to absorb all the bumps and jumps, great adjustability, the brilliantly smooth ratchet system that Burton is famous for, and nice firm boot support to keep you securely locked in.

Bindings: Union Legacy

Smart rating score: 93.5/100

Flex: Medium (6/10)

And the #1 spot goes to the Union Legacy!

With the perfect flex to do anything and match with almost every board (except really stiff or really soft boards), the Versatile Legacy won't let you down.

Whether you're lapping the park, carving up the groomers, weaving through the trees, riding pow or exploring the backcountry or sidecountry, these bindings will have your back. 

The Legacy achieve many elusive balancing acts, like being to provide great board feel while maintaining good shock absorption and response while maintaining comfort. 

Note: The Legacy was previously in a different category, but I moved it here, as it fits this category better, IMO.
