Burton: Women's Lexa EST Snowboard Bindings

In 2003 the Burton Lexa was the first female-specific binding on the market. While other snowboard binding manufacturers sweep their initial attempts under their carpets, Burton continues to polish and refine this popular jewel--and now the Lexa EST is ready for infinite stance possibilities on Burton's new line of snowboards with The Channel binding interface. The Lexa EST is responsive and sensitive enough to please all-mountain advanced riders, but it's also comfortable and plush enough to ride all day and into the evening. We like the new removable SensoryBED II cushioning system because it helps absorb shock from landing impacts without taking away the sensitivity every experienced rider counts on in varied terrain and snow conditions. The big difference between the established SensoryBED and this new SensoryBED II is that the SensoryBED had only B3 Gel in the heel, while the SensoryBED II features B3 Gel in the toes and heels. This extra cushion in front and back is ideal aggressive female riders who look for big air and perfect landings. Okay, we ALL look for perfect landings, but no matter how you land--assuming that it is on your board--you'll appreciate the extra cushion in the front and back. Like seasons past, the Lexa EST has a short glass fiber/nylon composite baseplate that's stiffer than Burton's intermediate-level Stiletto, so you enjoy more response and improved performance. A QuikFLAD adjustment on the back of the lightweight, dual-component, canted living Hinge Hi-Back lets you dial in your heel-edge response to match your terrain and all-mountain attitude. The adjustable SuperStrap across the ankle and Ultra Capstrap across the toe have Burton's 3D ergonomic curve for an easily adjustable and comfortable fit that keeps your boot in place throughout the day. Remember that unlike the traditional Lexa binding, the Lexa EST is developed exclusively for Burton snowboards with The Channel binding interface built in to the snowboard. Be sure that you pair this binding with The Channel system. If you're looking for a park-specific women's binding with the same amount of response and EST attachment, check out Burton's new Scribe EST.
