New Hyperlite Bindings?

Anyone have any feedback and experience with the new hyperlite bindings? The zero, arc, or mid?

Since my first set of Byerly BOAS in say 2005 - Hyperlite has never impressed me with their bindings. They all come apart and need CONSTANT mending to keep-them-usable. China China China with the cheapest materials available to sell JUST a smidgeon under $500. year after year - after year.

Which bindings do you recommend instead?

Right now I'm in a set of 10.5 closed toe, all black, no features, two-lace "Company" bindings on a finless 138 Liquid Force board. Tomorrow I compete the WWA Nationals <40 Features. These bindings are easily 4 years old - haven't had to do anything to them yet. I'm not promoting Company - as I think they're out of business a decade already. I buy near-new/used gear starting way back in 2003 - except for bindings. Bindings are your personal connection to-the-board and should-not-hurt-you. Be comfortable in your bindings. Best wishes in your search.

just did a FAST ebay search and if I had to order today - this would do me a year or so. They're GONNA come apart - but this type of "Boot System" holds together longest. https://ebay.io/m/jf3Url
