Comments about Flow Essence Snowboard Bindings - Women's 2009:

This was my first experience with owning Flow binders,and purchased them for the ease of use factor. Unfortunately the Flow Essence has a ratchet system that was spawned by a collaboration between a drunken engineer and the Beelzebub himself, making the day of riding I had on them miserable. Returned them as soon as possible.

I bought these binding for ease of use, step in and out and I can't step in and out. I wear a size 7 boot and have a medium binding yet I cannot step into the binding once adjusted. I have to losen both front and middle buckles to get my foot out of the binding. The rear latch is also a pain. When it's open if not opened and flattened you can't get the binding open far enough (runs into the snow) to get your foot out. They get easier with continued use but I still have to losen to get my foot in and out which I was under the impression this product eliminated the need for that. They are well built.

This binding provides great support but is very difficult to get on and off. If you don't mind your bindings not being tight then this would be a great product for you! However, to get them to be as tight as I wanted them to be I had to re-set up the while binding every time I got off the lift which is really time consuming especially since the binding is designed to stay put on one desired tightness.
