For grip on your feet the sync is fantastic. It really locks your foot in.

I like to twist my front foot for more comfort and a better stance. I could not get enough angle when I had a Cabrinha Custom. The Custom has a wide stance, even at the narrowest setting, so that made the stance and comfort problem worse.

I could ride ok but it felt like I was trying to twist my foot inside the binding rather than the binding flexing to fit my foot.

I love my syncs on my Xenon board. I like my feet to be in pretty tight and the laces allow me to tighten every part of my feet. It will take a bit of adjustment over a few sessions to dial them in. Worth the effort.

come on stamp and co I know you love them give us a reveiw

The 2012 version is very cushy and definitely the most comfy and adjustable strap/pad combo I've used.

love them have had to replace a few of the plastic parts that the screws go through over the last few years due to breakage but they are awesome.

I had the '09 Syncs and went through quite a few of the plastic side pieces before the sides of the strap tore through, so i gave up on them. When they were brand new they felt fantastic; one of the most locked in setups i've ever ridden, but their long term durability just wasn't there. I'm sure Kitepower will be able to comment if they've changed or improved the design since the original.
If they were made to last longer than a single summer season then they'd be sensational.

Now riding '09 LF Comp Laces and have been fairly happy with them but the pads are starting to compress a bit thin so i'm back on the market for a new setup. The new version of the LF Comps looks pretty damn good and i've heard good things of the Nobile IFS setup but haven't had a chance to try them yet.

Cabrinha have constantly upgraded and improved on the original design, the strap side blocks are no longer an issue. The originals (still warranted by Cabrinha!) were shipped with a dodgy plastic in the side block from one of Cabs suppliers. Cab shipped replacement heavily reinforced side blocks to all dealers and we still have plenty.
The lace system has been changed a few times, and now it is just loops of webbing that are well sewn into the strap body, the inner surface of the strap has been refined and modified to be one of the most comfy straps I've ever used.

I find the Nobile IFS pad to be the most comfy, also don't mind the Underground/Cardboard type of pad.

Merry Christmess

I am certainly still happy with mine.
Other than the plastic issue ( seems to be sorted )the durability IMO is excellent mine are also 09 models but i use LF Luxury footpads ( i think also 09) instead of the Cabs... athough i did put slighty larger washers on when replacing the plastic sides which may have helped in the strap longevity stakes
lI have opted to stay with the 09 straps as opposed to upgrading as they have now moulded nicely and the straps are wider (almost cover my foot entirely) than the newer ones.

i wouldnt mind grabbing a couple of spare plastic bits to take on trips away just in case though
Kitepower - ill give your shop a call next week and order a few
