k2 cinch ctl binding?

i’ve heard mixed reviews on these snowboard bindings- what do you think?

I have a fellow teacher that has had a pair of these and has used them about 20 times on the mountain – and now they are worn out!!

The high backs don’t lock down tight any more and now they have to be used like regular strap bindings. My friend is probably about 160lbs, so maybe a heavier rider will wear them out quicker. Either way, I wouldn’t buy a pair of these – they are a good idea but are not strong enough to last.
