HAGAN EVO bindings, with automatic brake retraction! While the push pin system is effective, the automatic brakes are much easier to use. There is another advantage of the new brakes - and it is a big and important one. You can't forget to release the brakes before the descent. Switching into descent mode automatically puts the brakes into "ready" mode. If you descend on the push pin version but forget to first push the pin to release the brakes ($#it happens) you will have carried up brakes that do absolutely nothing in case of a crash. With the Pin Up 10, the brakes are always ready to deploy in descent mode, no matter how distracted or forgetful you are.

EVO benefits:

• Easy one-handed operation. On other bindings you need to hold down the brakes with one hand while pushing a pin or turning the heel tower with the other.
• Brake retraction for climbing is automatic when you step down. There is no need to push down the brakes with your hand.
• Dual lifters means no twisting to switch between flat, medium and high climbing heights
• You can't forget to release the brakes for the descent!
