go with the griffin, you dont need anything with a din over 12 if your riding park on invaders. only reason for having high din in the park is if your huge, or if you are hitting huge jumps and invaders arent really a ski for either of those specifications so ur pretty safe with the griffon

don't waist the money if they are for invaders. just get some px12s and you'll be good

why do you think you need a 16 din touring binding for invaders?

I think the only reason to get the jesters over the griffons is the plastic in the toepiece. I noticed jesters are metal, therefor a little heavier but more bombproof. But then again, Ive never really broke a toepiece anyways. Im probably going with the Griffons for my Brigades, but im also torn between the Rossi Sas 150.
