Flow Essence Snowboard Bindings - Women's 2011 – Style, meet class. Together, you’ll be finely blended throughout the Flow Essence Snowboard Bindings. The Flow Essence Snowboard Bindings are a comfortable all-mountain beauty for ladies who are looking for top-notch binding perfection. With a 30% glass-filled Nylon lightweight M-series baseplate, soft EVA padding, Airframe MINIratchets, and Flow’s I-Flex PowerStrap, the Flow Essence Snowboard Bindings give you support, flexibility and style while demanding performance and comfort. Sleek, stylish, and oh-so-sexy. The Flow Essence Snowboard Bindings are the ladies’ choice, and they’re waiting for you.
Baseplates
The Flow Essence Snowboard Bindings feature an incredibly responsive 30% glass-filled Nylon M-Series baseplate.
Straps
Flex Rating: 3.5 (1 Soft – 5 Stiff)
The I-Flex PowerStrap has deep side cutouts that provide ideal flex for freestylers and all-mountain riders. The I-Flex works with all boot and board types and comes with a 3-D molded contour in your critical instep area, maintaining a direct force path from binding to boot to board for powerful toeside turns.
The 4 locking Airframe MINIratchet buckles provide total control and support.
Highbacks
The 15% glass-filled nylon Ventilated Hiback features an integrated backflare at the lower edge which eliminates any risk of the highback catching on a protruding boot heel, and also serves to stiffen the overall highback structure through the enhanced 3D shaping.
Additional Features
– A movable toe-ramp with EVA cushioning pads allows optimized boot to board energy transfer and amazing foot support. Synchronous Length Adjustment (SLA) maintains ideal geometry of the Power Triangle design for every highback position automatically and allows for highback rotation to align with the edge of your board at the same time. Free+ Snaplock delivers a tool-less infinitely fine forward-lean adjustment that you can crank up or down without even getting out of your bindings.
Flow Binding Technology
As with all Flow bindings, Flow technology combines their original reclining highback for the easiest entry in all conditions that’s ergonomically designed to match your legs biomechanics. Hiback Flare eliminates any catching of the highback on the heel of the boot while the one piece 3D Powerstrap evenly distributes pressure over a wider boot surface, automatically adapting to every boot shape and foot type with more power advantage in toeside turns. The patented Power Triangle links the highback directly to the center area of the baseplate with a high-tension steel cable, creating a structurally powerful and very responsive triangular geometry that results in more control with no energy loss and less weight.

    I bought this binding because my friend (who used Flows) was always telling me how much she loved her bindings. Then after watching her get in and out of her bindings so easily I decided to try some.

    The fact that I don't have to sit down to strap in is great. Plus I can slide my back foot in the binding when I'm getting off the chair lift so I have way more control coming down the ramp.

    *I saw the another review on here about someone having trouble getting into these bindings. Once I got them adjusted for my boots, I haven't had any issues with getting in and out of them. It's as easy as lemon peezy!

              Comments about Flow Essence Snowboard Bindings - Women's 2011:

              After years of being happy using burton custom bindings, decided to give these Flow bindings a chance. So glad I did! I love them! No more sitting in the snow strapping in. Set up is very easy and I recommend watching the YouTube video which details installation step by step. These bindings will be a game changer for those tired of cold butts and cramping feet riding the lift. A bit tricky to release and buckle in if you need to clip in and out of deep powder so just don't plan on falling in the woods on a deep powder day. My husband promptly ordered his own pair after trying mine out for two runs....he also gives two thumbs up! AWESOME product.

              These are great bindings and easy to step right in and go once you have them adjusted to your liking. They were a little stubborn to adjust at first.

                I love these bindings. At first they are a little tricky to learn, but after that they are fast in and fast out. They are difficult to put on in high powder because you have to get the backs down, but great otherwise. I wear a women's 8.5 Salomon boot which could go either way (Med or Lg), but was glad I went with the large.

                    Comments about Flow Essence Snowboard Bindings - Women's 2011:

                    Bought the M9's for my fiancé, and the women's Flow Essence for myself, which is their women's M series offering. He LOVES Flows and has been trying to sell me on them since I started boarding. It took a little to get used to, but now that I have them dialed in, I LOVE them to.

                    Before I had some Burton Stiletto's - they always pinched my feet, while the Flows distribute the pressure evenly across the top of the foot to make it way more comfortable. I also like that these are more stiff and responsive than the Stiletto's. I also love the easy in/back entry. So easy to get strapped in at the top of the lift. My friends don't have to wait for me any more while I struggle with my straps.

                    The M series is one of their higher end models and well worth the $$. Though since we bought last years models we got a huge discount. My guys says that his are a little heavy, but I don't notice that as an issue with mine.

                    The first day I rode these absolutely sucked. I'd get em loose enough to slide my foot in and then I'd get heel lift out the wazoo carving down the mountain or I'd get in and then tighten them and they'd be way to tight and I didn't have any pop. But if you have the patience to play with them for a while after like two long days you'll start to love them. I used to ride Burton stilettos and I got a lot of pain in my arch while ridding up the lift and the single strap on these babies seriously does the trick to fix that. The only thing is that I definitely reccomend wearing a leash cause if you are flying fast enough and fall hard enough the back will pop open and your board will go down the mountain without you. But it's only happened to me once so it's not too big of an issue.

                      My daughter was VERY happy with this gift. She had flow bindings on her old board and loved them. She went up in boot size so she needed new ones. Construction, ease of use, and color are great!!
