How do I choose the right binding size?
Bindings are typically sized Small, Medium, Large and should match both your boot size and your board width. A pairing that’s too big may cause your toe or heel to hang over and drag in the snow; too small can feel cramped and reduce control. It’s recommended to start with your boot size and reference the brand’s size chart for best results.
What binding mounting system should I consider—Re:Flex or EST?
EST bindings are designed for Burton’s Channel system only; they cannot be mounted on non-Channel boards. Re:Flex bindings are much more versatile—they fit Channel, 2×4, and 4×4 board mount systems.
What flex level should I choose—soft, medium, or stiff?
Soft flex (e.g. 1–3/10): Great for beginners and freestyle/park riders—forgiving and maneuverable. Medium flex (e.g. 3–8/10): Ideal for all-mountain riding, offering a balanced ride. Stiff flex (e.g. 8–10/10): Best for high-speed, freeride, or backcountry—precise and responsive.
What are the differences between binding types (strap-in, rear-entry, Step‑On)?
Strap-in bindings are the most common, offering solid support with adjustable ankle and toe straps. Rear-entry bindings allow easier access but may limit adjustability. Burton Step‑On bindings require specific Burton Step‑On boots—they knock in quickly and eliminate straps, but are only compatible with the right boots.
