The Salomons: http://www.salomonfreeski.com/fi/#/product/1-2-2-554740_12


The Dynastars(Looks): http://www.dynastar.com/product.php?id_seg=&id_product=111&id_dyn_category=4&id_dyn_segment=62&acturub=2


I'm looking bindings for my Völkl Walls 178cms and I'll be skiiing actively and almost only park.
These two bindings I've been looking for.  Are the new Looks(Dynastars) as good/legendary as they used to be like 2 years ago, or are they even better/worse?

What about Salomon? I'm not very familiar with these bindings. Just that they're light(or?)

Please tell me what do you know/think about these bindings.

The STH 12 is looking very good this year. Very light indeed. And durable.

I'm sure the PX12 couldn't have gotten worse, but I may be wrong

the new sth 12's are super gnarly this year.  the heelpiece is seriously bombproof.  and the z12 toe keeps the overall weight to an absurd minimum.  the only thing that isn't awesome about them is that they'll most definitely cost more than px12 jibs.  but i think they're most definitely worth it.

STH 12's:
looking bomb proof for not being a race stock binding
(still not a durable as a race stock binding)
Supper light
cost $100 more then look/rossi

PX12 or equivilent
In my opinion the smoothest and most consistent release out there
more forward preasure
Still durable
Hevyer then the STH 12's
much less expensive.


Both would be great options.

I just got some rossi scratch 120's the same binding as the px 12 jib other than color.  I did my research and the only downside I could find on them is they are a little more heavy.  Plus they are 100 cheaper.  I like the toe piece on the STH and the burly heel piece but you gotta ask yourself... is it worth a 100 bills?

Get the Salomon STH 12 bindings because their made by a company you can trust. They are housed in a steel casing which makes them more durable and will last longer.
