Hannah Teter's favorite women's freestyle binding features new straps for an exceptional fit.

• Burton "response" rating: 5 on a scale of 1 to 9

• New Superstrap at ankle for improved fit and comfort
• New Super Capstrap™ for excellent and accurate energy transmission up front
• QuickFLAD™ and True OTT EVA Hi-Back Padding on female-specific ultra-lightweight Hi-Back
• Great-fitting, female-specific short glass fiber/nylon composite baseplate with EVA padding
• Easy-fitting, Smooth Glide™ buckles with polished aluminum levers and quick release gates

Why not a unisex binding? Unless you're a fan of compromises, the Lexa is an ideal choice for aggressive female all-mountain riders who want comfort and performance with a shape that's designed to fit female feet. While the Lexa remains Burton's original women's snowboard binding, continued improvements over several seasons make it an evolving example of excellence that can't be touched by any unisex snowboard binding. This year Burton added extra comfort with the new Superstrap and Primo Capstrap closures. The Lexa still offers more power potential and response than Burton's entry-level Stiletto snowboard binding, so it's an ideal choice for aggressive female all-mountain riders who want comfort and performance with a shape that's designed to fit female feet. It features a EVA padded short glass fiber/nylon composite baseplate that's stiffer than the Stiletto for enhanced performance. A QuikFLAD adjustment on the back of the ultra-lightweight Hi-Back lets you dial in your heel-edge response to match your terrain and all-mountain attitude. This season Burton added a Primo Capstrap with Grip Fit at the front of the binding. It's a simplified version of the Super Capstrap II but it still features a 3D Curved triple axis spine and Grip Fit with a 3D contoured shape that molds to your boot toe, pushing your heel back firmly into the binding while holding the foot down for better response. They also replaced the old quilted strap with Burton's Superstrap and a 3D curved, triple axis spine and NeoPadding for a better fit and a bit more sizing versatility. If you're looking for performance but you insist on having the comfort that's essential for riding all day, the Burton Lexa will remain the favorite pick for treating women right throughout the entire season.
