So I understand that there are a fewer number of women hitting the slopes than men. But the amount of technology & availability of quality products is TOTALLY disproportionate. I really don't care about having "cute" bindings. I don't want sparkly pink bindings. I want freaking fastback bindings that #1 fit my boots (& my feet) #2 are quality made & don't fall apart #3 are made by a company that knows a thing or two about snowboarding. I'm sorry for all you suckers out there that bought them, but K2 & Rosingnol think of snowboarding as a secondary market & make shitty snowboarding products.
But why can't companies invest HALF as much energy in developing women's gear as men's. Seriously. Gnu has 4 women's boards, & 7 men's; the women's bindings are smaller versions of the men's that don't take into account size or shape of the body attached to the feet. Burton is marginally better, but still is seriously lacking. Flow bindings totally rock if you're in possession of a y-chromosome. If you only have 2 x's don't hold your breath trying to find a Flow binding that fits your needs. They have 3-shrunken men's sizes & 1 actual women's binding.
