| hyperlites take about 3 or 4 sets to break in and then they will be great |

| nah dont use them, it wont really work and it is better to break them in yourself so they can break in around your feet |

| i have an old pair of 3060s that i got a couple years ago that i used for the first time in two years yesterday. Man they were stiff. i remember they were the same way when i got them. Too bad i have to break them in again but there worth it. |

| Someone mentioned to put them on in the bath tub in warm water -- I did it and it really stretched them out nicely... |

that's what I did: 20 mins with binding on in a warm bath and keep them on for another 10 minutes afterwards...
Helped well to me

Why is it just hyperlites that take 3 or 4 sets to break in? Wouldn't it be the same with most all quality bindings? |

thats an old school trick but it does work. It will help also if you put some hair conditioner in the water too
