I have been skiing on 2009 HO Animal XL bindings for several years. They have served me well but are definitely showing their age after hundreds of passes. I have glued and zipped them together to make them last. I am looking to replace them.
I heard that the new HO animals aren't as well built as what I currently have. Can anyone confirm this with their experience? I am also open to suggestions in regards to rubber (non-hardshell) bindings.
I did ski on HO Approach XL bindings for awhile and I skied much better after switching back to the Animals.
Thanks for your help!
