Hagan Boost 12 Binding

“Embrace what makes you different…” We here at Skimo Co are as big a fan of individualism as we are of “feel good” Disney quotes. As it turns out, Hagan shares our sentiment. The Hagan Core 12 kicked things off by featuring a front brake design. While the aesthetic was unique, the functionality of the design won many skiers over with its ability to provide braking while in tour mode. Moving forward, Hagan added the Core Pro that came with a more traditional heel brake, to the dismay of those that had fallen for the original front brake. Never ones to ignore the people, Hagan is bringing the front brake back in an updated and hard-charging package called the Boost. While the toe piece features the same wide mounting pattern as the Core, the integrated toe brake is automatic and becomes active once you engage your toe lever for climbing. Further, the best way to be sure the brakes aren't messing with your heel release is by putting them in the toe. The 12mm of elasticity in the heel is ready to gobble up all the drops you can handle, and the 25mm of BSL adjustment means even the in-law’s boots will fit. If you’ve been dreaming of a binding that combines the brake functionality of the old Core 12, with the impeccable performance of the new Core 12 Pro, then the Hagan Boost 12 is sure to make you rejoice.
