Thanks Russ Kraut
I'm a bit over Ronix, I've had 2 pairs and they've only lasted 8 months each before things start to go wrong. So keen to try the system.
Does the system get any heal lift as it ages?
Same here. Ronix are extremely comfy but fall apart rather fast and also those laces were annoying as you have to tighten them every 10 minutes. Heel holddown is superb with the Hyperlites, just like snowboard bindings really. Getting in takes a little coordination but no big deal. Getting out takes a second which is great if you quickly need to get rid of your board. Boots are not as snug and comfy as Ronix. But if you tighten the bindings a lot that is not felt anymore anyway. And you can walk around in fancy boots which protects your feet and is warmer in winter ;-). Total costs are also slightly less than a pair of boots. Overall pretty good stuff.
