Women’s Burton Step On® Escapade EST® Snowboard Bindings

Who is it for? The Women’s Burton Step On® Escapade EST® is a snowboard binding for riders who use a Burton board with The Channel® and want to combine fast Step On® entry with comfort, cushioning, and very direct board feel. It is a good choice for all-mountain riders who spend full days on the mountain, value the convenience of a strapless system, and want a smooth, refined binding response.

Step On® Escapade – fast entry and all-day comfort

The Step On® system lets you connect your boot to the binding without using traditional straps. The design uses three connection points – two at the toe and one at the heel – to lock the boot securely into place and maintain confident board control. The Escapade version adds a smoother, more comfortable ride feel that works well for long days on snow, groomers, and versatile all-mountain riding.

EST® – maximum board feel for The Channel® system

EST® is Burton’s mounting system designed exclusively for boards with The Channel®. Unlike Re:Flex™, EST® does not use a traditional mounting disc underfoot. This places your foot closer to the board, allows the snowboard to flex more naturally, and gives the rider very direct edge feel plus a wide range of stance adjustment. It is the best option if you ride a Burton board with The Channel® and want maximum connection to your snowboard with a comfortable binding feel.

Frequently Asked Questions – Women’s Burton Step On® Escapade EST®

Do women’s Burton Step On® Escapade EST® bindings work with regular snowboard boots?
No. Burton Step On® Escapade EST® bindings work only with Step On® snowboard boots. You need compatible Burton Step On® boots or other boots clearly marked as compatible with the Step On® system. Compatible boots are available here: women’s Step On® snowboard boots.

What is the EST® system?
EST® is Burton’s mounting system designed exclusively for boards with The Channel®. EST® bindings do not use a traditional mounting disc underfoot, which gives more direct board feel, allows the snowboard to flex more naturally, and provides a very wide range of stance adjustment.

Do Burton Step On® Escapade EST® bindings fit every snowboard?
No. This model uses the EST® mounting system, so it fits only Burton boards with The Channel®. It does not fit traditional 4x4 / 2x4 inserts or older Burton 3D mounting systems. If your board does not have The Channel®, choose Step On® bindings in the Re:Flex™ version.

What is the difference between Step On® Escapade EST® and Step On® Escapade Re:Flex?
Step On® Escapade EST® is designed only for Burton boards with The Channel® and gives a more direct snowboard feel because there is no traditional disc underfoot. Step On® Escapade Re:Flex is more universal because it works with 4x4, 2x4, and The Channel®, but it feels slightly less direct underfoot than EST®.

What is the difference between Step On® Escapade and standard women’s Step On® bindings?
Step On® Escapade has a smoother and more comfortable feel. It is a good choice for riders who want fast strapless entry, but also want better vibration damping, more comfort underfoot, and a more refined feel throughout the day.

How do I choose the right women’s Step On® Escapade EST® binding size?
Step On® binding size must match your Step On® boot size. Correct sizing is especially important in the Step On® system because the boot connects directly to the binding’s engagement points. Check the size chart before purchase and choose the binding size that matches your exact boot size.

Is Step On® stable without traditional straps?
Yes. Step On® uses three connection points – two at the toe and one at the heel. This locks the boot securely into the binding and gives the rider board control without traditional straps.

Who is Step On® Escapade EST® best for?
It is a good choice for riders who have a Burton board with The Channel®, want fast strapless entry, and expect a comfortable, smooth binding with very direct board feel.
