My Obrien Systems are about to rip the whole way through on the upper lace area. SOOOOO I want to get some new bindings ASAP. I am checking out ebay every day to look for new stuff. I have tried out the '05 Transits and loved them......I am looking @ the '05 Sphynx LE's and I was wondering if they are pretty close to the Transits and if not please tell me the differences. I also was "thinking" of the '05 Ultra's b/c of the nice material on the inner part of the boot. I know someone who loves them and wouldn't ride in another boot.... So, just give me some words of courage in this trying time! HAHAH CHEERS!

ive ridden the Sphynx LEs and the Transits and I ride the 04 sphynx. Both of those boots are good, i like the Transits a little better but both are great boots.

I haven't ridden the Transits, but I have the 05 Sphynx's and love them to death. So comfy!

I will second the 05 Sphinxs' They are very close to transits but just seem softer, "the softest". I dont know about Ultras. Just wait another month and you can get a smokin deal or just get some 06's.

I have the 05 Transits. The 05 Spinx's were great too. I just felt more supported in the Transits. I do not think you can go wrong either way.

transits, teams, or sphynx.....I have hated every pair of bindings I have ever had and after 30 or 40 rides in my teams, I am still in love!

Jjakober,

My Obrien Systems are '02's and are a size large. They are great bindings but last week I noticed a tear on the left binding on the left side where they lace up. It sucks b/c I was trying to hold out until next year......Oh well! I just ordered '05 Transits for only $220 and I think that is a decent deal.

Tom,
I just ordered a large so sorry but if I wore a smaller size I would have taken you up on that offer. Thanks everyone.... Oh btw I am ordering my wife the Minx SE's today also!!!! Nothing like riding CWB boards and LF bindings! Oh well!!!!
