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: $189
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: $229
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.

Bindings: Salomon Nova

Copming in at #3 are the Salomon Novas.
The Nova are a great option for riding freestyle, boasting great shock absorption, board feel and comfort.
The Nova's also feature Salomon's Jib Joint suspension system, which helps with that shock absorption and allows for more lateral movement.

WOMEN'S FREESTYLE BINDING #1
Bindings: Union Milan
Price: $219
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.
Score Breakdown for the Milan's
RATING | SCORE WEIGHTING | |
|---|---|---|
BOARD FEEL | 5.0 | 30/30 |
SHOCK ABSORPTION | 4.5 | 22.5/25 |
RESPONSE | 3.0 | 9/15 |
ADJUSTABILITY | 4.0 | 12/15 |
COMFORT | 4.0 | 8/10 |

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.
