If you’re a beginner looking for bindings, check out my top 5 women’s snowboard bindings for beginners list below for some great options.
This list has been updated for the 2022-23 season.
These bindings are great if you’re just starting out you want a binding that will help you to learn and progress as quickly and as easily as possible.
All the bindings in this list are great for beginners, forgiving of errors and makes snowboarding more fun and easier for beginners.
Some Brief Stats for this List
Of the 23 different women’s bindings that I rated for suitability as beginner bindings:
O.K. let’s get going with the top 5!
WOMEN'S BEGINNER BINDING #5
Bindings: Flow Juno Fusion
- CA
- UK/EU
Smart rating score: 87.6/100
Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)
Starting off the list in #5 is the Flow Juno Fusion.
The Juno is a nice easy going binding, that will help you to progress your snowboarding - or to start out your journey.
It's also a great option for those that want a speed entry binding. A lot of beginners start out strapping in sitting down. If you don't like that idea, then these can have you strapping in standing up - and even on the go with a bit of practice - from day one. This can also be a great option for those that ride with skiers often.

Bindings: K2 Cassette
- CA
- UK/EU
Smart rating score: 88.2/100
Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)
Coming in at #4 is K2's Cassette.
The Cassette is a no nonsense binding that helps to make it easier and faster to progress when you're a beginner - or if you're just getting started. And at a price point that won't be too painful on the wallet.
It's the equal cheapest on this list (along with the Rosa) and equal softest flexing (along with the Citizen and CL-2).

WOMEN'S BEGINNER BINDING #3
Bindings: Burton Citizen

Smart rating score: 91.4/100
Flex: Soft (2/10)
If you are on a tight budget the Burton Citizen is one of the best beginner binding options. They come with a very friendly price tag and with great specs for the beginner.
Super forgiving and easy to control at slow speeds but at the same time comfortable, easy to use, easy to adjust and with a really consistent, predictable response.

WOMEN'S BEGINNER BINDING #2
Bindings: Ride CL-2
- CA
- UK/EU
Smart rating score: 91.9/100
Flex: Soft (2/10)
In at #2 we have Ride’s CL-2 bindings.
The CL-2 is the softest and lowest priced option in Ride's women's line.
It's a nice forgiving entry level binding that makes it easy to progress and matches well with soft flexing boards. The CL-4 is another option from the line if you're more of a high-end beginner and have a slightly bigger budget and looking for something to last you a little longer through your progression.

WOMEN'S BEGINNER BINDING #1
Bindings: Union Rosa
- CA
- UK/EU
Smart rating score: 93.5/100
Flex: Medium-Soft (3.5/10)
And finally at #1, we have the Union Rosa bindings.
These are the equal lowest priced binding in this list – and that’s great for a beginner, but it’s not the only thing that’s important. What got the Rosa’s on this list was their ability to make the learning process easy and fun.
The Rosa’s have a nice medium-soft, forgiving flex for easy turning and the ability to help control your board at slow speeds. They are also smooth and consistent and really comfortable and straight forward to adjust and setup.
