Burton Escapade Snowboard Binding - Women's - 08/09 - 2008 BCS

these bindings are by far the best in the women's binding-responsive, comfortable, cushiony, fits good, and looks super bad ass ...
well, seriously, what else can you ask for in bindings?!
so dont waste your money on other bindings, just save up, and get the best bindings ever!

I had some issues with the ankle straps when I took them out the first day (see the question I posted below). However, after some adjustment, the discomfort went away. By moving the ankle strap one notch up, the pressure points on the inner side of my feet went away. These Burtons fit very snugly with my Salomon boots. The toe strap on the back foot sometimes becomes loose during riding, but I think that's because of the fact that they fit really snug, and when I sit down to strap on the back foot, the foot doesn't get all the way into the binding even though I crank down the straps tight. This can be easily solved by standing up and let the gravity do its job, then tighten the straps again. My setup is stiff bindings, stiff boots, and stiff board. This translates to precise carving turns on groomed trails. These bindings are so responsive compared to my previous bindings that I no longer have to worry about catching an edge due to sluggish response.

I'm completely sold on these bindings. I have the teal zebra color, and I do agree with the above review that the bindings are absolutely not the color shown...it's more of a bright jungle green if you ask me. Sweet, nontheless, but not the color shown. I'd say if you're iffy on color, order a black or white pair and save yourself headache or disappointment later. Anyway, the bindings have essentially the most comfortable and responsive system I've ever experienced. I took the time to carefully adjust the bindings to the boots I use them with, which took a little time but it was well worth it. I have never experienced such smooth, fluid control and connection with my board. You simply gotta try it :)

My wife loves it: hard enough, easy enough to get in. She is a lot faster now, as she has more confidence.

ok so not really, but ...

All I can say is WOW. When I heard these were responsive, I had no idea. Coming from a crappier setup, this is like riding a sick of butter in a hot pan.

I do all kinds of mountain riding, and these are perfect! I put em on the Troop and there is no chatter and my feet / shins / ankles don't ache after hitting it hard on the packed powder. These bindings made jumps much sicker.

The price was awesome too.

I totally recommend these!

Just recieved the bindings. I wear a size 8.5 or 9 womans boot (depending on brand) and bought the L bindings - I was surprised to find that I needed to adjust the toe strap so it was fully extended. Recommend anyone on the cusp of the sizing chart to go up to the L.

I love the way the bindings really hug the heels of my boots… with my old bindings I had a problem with heel slippage when I took a deep carve.

The color teal/zebra is not as sky blue as the burton website shows and is even a bit darker than this site shows. It is a darker green/blue - teal color.
The heal strap this yaer has a bubble padding as opposed to squishy padding. We will see how the bubbles hold up this season. The material the air bubbles are held in seems durable. The hea straps and toe straps are easier to adjust length on this year as opposed to last years. I have a year over year comparision on burton escapades over the past 3 years on my blog.
