 |
|
I've got a pair of 2007 Hyperlite 3DS closed toe and they're hard to get in and out of. Are there any alternatives to Binding lube? ie sex lube?
Thanks |

Dish washing soap, IE dawn. Or shaving cream. Thats what we always used back in the day when we had the old style bindings.

Dishwashing soap or just soapy water works great, but I'm not sure if any of the chemical additives in dishwashing soap are harmful to the bindings.

DO NOT USE DISH SOAP
It does harm the material in the bindings and makes it too easy to come out of the boot unexpected. If you must use something other than binding lube, use shaving cream. But you really should use boot lube if possible

DO NOT USE VASELINE! It'll help you come in, but it'll also help you come out. And again. And again. And again.
Lube should help you get in. Once. Not out. For months.
Vaseline has other purposes.
