I just got the PR1s of Nice bindings and loved them. I have been riding the origanl high back for 3 years because I couldn't seem to find a new binding I liked. I have tried mostly hyperlite which include last year and this years Byerly, Belmonts and 30/60's. I have also tried the Collective development and didn't like the the metal hooks for lace up. To much time trying to lace up and if you fall out you have to undo all those and then relace... hard to do in the water.

I second the NICE PRS-1 suggestion. I have tried virtually all teh '03 NICE line and several from Collective, the NICE are just better IMHO. On my PRS-1's, I removed the HSS system and they fit me PERFECT now. The VICE is also a sleeper from NICE. They are less expensive but still offer great support and flexability

i have tried on the CD bindings, both the ones with the rubber inside and the ones with the cloth inside. when i laced the ankle up tight they sort of dug into my leg where the boot overlaps the tongue. i haven't ridden in them though.

I 've been tryin to find someone in my area with them so I could check them out.Either one,NICE or C.D.
Leaning towards the NICE,100 bucks cheaper.
Anyone,anyone......

I think I'm gonna gamble and just get some mail order.I'd love to demo them,but the closest shop that has them is 60 miles away.

cd's air lace up have been very good to me...they do take awhile to get into, but, i haven't come out of them while riding...if you do they are to loose. they are way comfy and offer a ton of support and forward lean...more adjust options than most and have a pump insert in the overlay that adds that true custom fit...the most advanced bindinng i've ever worn.
