Need help with women's bindings! - Snowboarding Forum

rideordiechick · 03-08-2013, 01:46 AM

I don't know much about bindings and need suggestions for a new pair. I think I'm an intermediate rider. I'm looking for bindings that are good for all mountain and park. I haven't bought my board yet but I'm probably getting the NS Infinity.

Thanks in advance!

idk...but last time I looked and got my daughter's....Rome Madison's were at the top of the list.

Yeah I see those bindings mentioned on a few forums. I also see Union bindings a lot. Just want to know which ones better and what I should be looking for.

I have heard great things about the Rome Madisons and the Union Trilogy. I prefer a stiffer binding when freeriding, if I am lazing about I'll switch over to my more flexible board with softer bindings. It all depends on preference. Some bindings are made with wider straps others not as wide. I am in love with the Flow Minx SE, a back entry biding, which looks like it might be what you are looking for. I am riding Burton Lexa's and GNU B-Famous. The GNU's were the stiffest I could find locally. Some people on here seem to hate Flow's or love them check em out. And do your research as well.

My Fiancee rides rome Madison's on her Infinity and really likes how they pair. YMMV.

I initially bought Ride Fames for my Infinity, rode them for about 2 months this season and eventually exchanged them for Burton Lexas. Nothing wrong with Fames' overall performance, I liked them well enough but didn't love them so I kept trying different bindings and I couldn't help but find Lexas superior to others. I have to say that Rome Madison left an impression. But in the end Lexas won with the instant snappy response I just love. Mind me, these bindings aren't as forgiving as Madison, or Trilogy and some people find them a tad stiff for park.

Okay, so it's between Burton Lexa, Rome Madison, Union Triology and Flow Minx SE. I guess I'll do more research.

What do I look for in a good binding? What kind of baseplate would be good for me?

idk where or pow u ride, but if its deep and treewells don't do rear entry binders...they can be more of a hazzard/death trap

Where I ride it snows occasionally but it's mostly icy and packed snow.
Have you heard anything about the NOW bindings? I see they only have them in mens though, does that matter?
