Yeah.. the mounting plates are metal. Most all of the binding is metal. The only plastic you'll find is on the top cover.. which is really strong too. The bindings are bombproof! Jibij didn't have a single one come back for warranty last year. They're sick and are the same price whether its the 412, 614, or 816.

Jibij just got a huge shipment of them today. get em while you still can.

$269 isn't a lot considering you probably won't need another binding in the next 5 years.
