This may have already been posted recently but I am looking for a new set of CT bindings. I am currently riding an '08 Hyperlite ERA with '08 Hyperlite 3ds bindings. I have really loved these bindings and have got more than my moneys worth out of them, but they are officially worn out. What are you guys riding that you really like? Im not opposed to going to something other than Hyperlite and I am think of getting a yr model or 2 older so it will be a little easier on the wallet. I will be putting them on my ERA board. Any suggestions or reviews?

I hate to say this but I would steer clear of the SS D2's - blew out a couple pairs of those - but they can be found cheap... it's the lace retainers that go out. SS made it right for me I do have to add...

right now I ride the ronix one's - I been pounding on these for two seasons - no issues and we ride a couple nights a week and on weekends

I'm going into my third season with my '08 HL Murray CT's no problems so far. I ride a lot during the summer 3-4 days a week average, the only thing I replaced is the lace locks. I picked 'em up at the beginning of the '09 season for around $100, if you can find a pair snag 'em

Dwepending on the size you are looking for... I have a pair of Gator Gonzalez - size 11 - never used - I am looking to get rid of. (They were to big for me, I am a size 10/10.5)

Ronix makes the best boots in the industry... either the Ones or the Cells. Light, extremely comfortable, and have plenty of support while still allowing adequate movement.

I respect hold's opinion, he rides a lot which kind of makes me sad that I didn't try out the ones (heard the cells are really supportive and i like more slop). I've been riding LF watsons for the past 3 years and i ride 2-3 times per week including weekends. They held up pretty well and I'm going to be trying out the shanes this summer as well (heard they were a little more forgiving).

I was recently on the binding search and my consensus was to try either ronix ones/cells or the LF shanes. Since I knew what my size was in LF i stuck with it. I heard the ronix sizes run a little bigger (so you would likely get a size smaller than you think you need). Ask around if you're like me and don't have any board shops in the area.

I am a HYPERLITER 100%.....Never ever a problem. 1996-today, except my 2010 team's string fasteners (come lose)....but I have never ridden with a person that has trouble with the newer LF bindings. Ronix last too.

loving my ronix ones, look around and you should be able to get a good deal used, my buddy got his used 2010s that were in great shape for 175 and i got my 08's new but two years old for 200
