Women’s Burton Citizen

Women’s Burton Citizen Re:Flex Snowboard Bindings
The Citizen comes with Burton’s Re:Flex base plate design which allows you to use this binding on Burton channel-based boards as well as standard 4×4 or 4×2 snowboards from other brands. The baseplate is made from a polycarbonate material, giving it a soft flex that pairs well with beginner-friendly snowboards like the Burton Stylus or Hideaway.
It has Burton’s standard Reactstrap™ ankle strap. This uses a pre-shaped single-injected mold construction method that reduces waste while offering reliable comfort. It’s a testament to not having to add padding to your straps in order to make them comfortable if you just shape them right.
Lastly, it has Burton’s standard Smooth Glide™ Buckles and Supergrip Capstrap™. These bindings are ideal for beginner to intermediate riders look for an easy, smooth feel–the Citizen is definitely for you.
Women’s Burton Scribe
Jumping up to $299.99 CAD, the Burton Scribe shares much of the Citizen’s construction (ie. polycarbonate baseplate, Reactstrap, Smooth Glide Buckles) but has an upgraded hi-back that’s stiffer and provides better toe-to-heel responsiveness and control.

This binding is great for beginner to intermediate riders looking to push their skills, as well as more advanced park riders who prefer a smoother, more forgiving flex.
Women’s Burton Lexa
Alright, coming in at $369.99 CAD, we have the most popular women’s Burton snowboard binding in the lineup–the Lexa. You’re getting upgrades to the baseplate and the straps compared to previous models in this solid all-mountain binding. You can use the Lexa to ride everything from groomers, the terrain park, lines through the trees and everything in between. This is also the first binding in the line that comes in both a Re:Flex and EST versions.
Women’s Burton Lexa Re:Flex Snowboard Bindings
Women’s Burton Lexa EST® Snowboard Bindings
NOTE: Burton’s EST bindings are only compatible with Burton Channel snowboards. EST stands for Extra Sensory Technology, which is a baseplate design that offers the best in underfoot flex, board feel, and stance adjustability.
The Burton Lexa is considered the female counterpart to the Burton Cartel for men. The baseplate’s construction material is upgraded to 30% short-glass/nylon composite, which is a stiffer plastic than polycarbonate. This creates a much more responsive binding.
The ankle strap is upgraded to Burton’s Hammockstrap 2.0. It consists of two parts: an inner hammock that cradles your boot and outer bands that allow your boot to roll and float around slightly within the strap, reducing pressure points. This makes for a more comfortable and responsive binding compared to previous models.
The Lexa is for that women who’s an intermediate to advanced level rider looking for a medium-to-stiff binding with quicker edge control that doesn’t sacrifice comfort.
Women’s Burton Lexa X
Alright next at $429.99 CAD for those women who have been riding the Lexa for a few years and are looking for the next step up, we’ve got the Lexa X. This binding has more of a high-end park riding focus.
Some people think the ‘X’ means this binding is stiffer than the Lexa, but that’s not true. The ‘X’ is meant to imply that there’s extra upgrades in this model over the Lexa. While it has the same 30% short-glass/nylon composite baseplate, you get an upgraded Heel Hammock in the hi-back. What this does is wrap around the back of your boot and gives you better grip against the hi-back. You won’t have to buckle your straps down as tight becuase the Heel Hammock prevent heel slip.
Women’s Burton Lexa X Re:Flex Snowboard Bindings
Women’s Burton Lexa X EST® Snowboard Bindings
You also get the upgraded Asym Hammockstrap, which is an asymmetrically shaped ankle strap that allows for better lateral mobility in the binding. This reduces the amount of pressure the ankle strap can apply to your boot.
The ratchets are also upgraded to Burton’s Double Take Buckles, which uses dual-sided strap and ratchet teeth. This helps reduce the amount of cranks it takes to tighten your straps.
You also get an upgraded toe strap, which has a rubber overlay to better grip the different fits and shapes of boots. Finally, there is added B3 gel in the heel footbed for cushioning and damping vibrations.
Again, The Lexa X is not any stiffer than the Lexa, but you’re getting a lot more comfort and performance features in a higher end women’s terrain park and all-mountain binding.
Women’s Burton Escapade
Last up at $499.99 CAD we have the Escapade. This is the best women’s Burton snowboard binding for all-mountain riding that will fit your boots like a dream. It comes packed with comfort-focused features that make it the most comfortable women’s binding in the entire line.
Women’s Burton Escapade Re:Flex Snowboard Bindings
Women’s Burton Escapade EST® Snowboard Bindings
The Escapade does comes with Double Take Buckles and 30% Short-Glass/Nylon Composite baseplate like the Lexa X, but then the similarities end there.
It has an upgraded Hammockstrap. This one is a little larger than previous models, which means there’s more surface area to displace pressure across the strap. The additional bands that run overtop of the strap create a feel that’s virtually pressure-free. It also gets an upgraded hi-back with what Burton calls the Kickback Hammock. This design moves better with your boot, and uses a combination of internal spring tension between the molded hammock and the hi-back frame to increase responsiveness and reduce vibrations for comfort. The Hammock technology in the ankle strap combined with the Kickback Hammock Hi-back and Supergrip Capstrap literally wraps your entire boot in seamless comfort and response.
Then, exclusively for the EST version, you get Burton’s unique footbed called the PodBED. It’s a polycarbonate tray overtop of different densities of these cushioned ‘pods’ that are inside the footbed. They help reduce common pressure points and allow your feet to canter and really press and flex the binding with greater responsiveness.
