Why buy Black Diamond bindings when you can support a small business and buy superior Hagan bindings?
Here are a few reasons why it is better to ski Hagan:
1. The BD Helio 350 is not the same as the Hagan Core 12 Pro.
2. The BD Helio 110 is not the same as the Hagan Ultra World Cup.
3. BD doesn't have the equivalent of the Pure 8 and Pure 10 bindings. They have a much inferior binding lacking brakes and with much more difficult and problematic (like dealing with stripped bolts?) length adjustment.
4. Good luck getting service from BD.
5. BD is a big, impersonal company. Shop small and get better customer service. Ski Hagan.

Here is a recent conversation that started asking how the Hagan Off Limits compares to the Altai Hok (no comparison). In the last paragraph there is a question about sand skiing with the Hagan X-Trace Pivot binding.
