Seize the mountain like a storm bent on destruction in the Rome Guild snowboard bindings for women. With flexibility upon desire and responsiveness when required, this sweet set is your skeleton key to unlock performance across every run (named or not). Normally, the word “ergonomic” is one you’d associate with a fancy desk chair. Forget about it. These highbacks are ergonomically designed to be BFFs with female legs. Then Rome goes and dashes in an EVA SubBase to truly elevate the elegant comfort underfoot to insist upon all-day coziness. Meditate all you want, but the only thing that can take you to a higher level is the Rome Guild Bindings.

These bindings are all almost identical, how about also comparing high performance step-ins, Plate binding, Three strap bindings too.
J,
I would look at the Burton Step On Bindings or the Nitro Supermatic.

Some of these are decent, but I still stand by my previous comment.
Has this writer ever gone snowboarding at these locations? Perfect binding for powder, perfect binding for Killington Vermont…. What?! Burton Missions for Taos? Has someone who has ridden both of those locations and both of those bindings, I have no clue where you thought this would make sense. Yes, you could ride either of those bindings at those locations, but I would argue you just randomly wrote mountain resorts for each binding.
