solly z series are light shit.  not the most durable but since your a light skier you'd probably be fine with em.

Solly is always feather light, but you have to get the STH for any kind of quality

The Z-series are ridiculously light. I've heard of toe and heelpieces breaking though, and the STH bindings aren't much heavier but a lot stronger (with more metal).

Salomon Z12's + Moment Reno Jib = lightest skis ever

well, logically dynafits are by far the lightest binders you can get, but they don't make too much sense for a park guy. there're some that are like 4 lbs a pair
but i have some solly s912 ti's that i find pretty light but most solly's are very light especially the z series

how about lightest, strongest, and least expensive binding?

Pretty much any binding that is light is cheap, because they are not that durable.  But again, I'd recommend axiums.

i would not recommend axiums if you have the extra dollar step up to axial, they are light but sketchy

But they said they're small dudes, so durability might not be a problem, and wanted inexpensive, so I'd say axium is the way to go.  But axial is far better if you've got the coin, and they might even be comparable in terms of weight.

axiums and axials are similar in weight and are not comparable to the z10 or 12 (in wieght).
