alright so right now im using look PIVOT 10s but i want to upgrade to a burlier binding, and I am looking at the two listed. So what would NS recommend?

I've heard the z12s are really light but how are they performance wise?

z12s are shit, ive seen two toes explode in person, plus they have the plastic heel track, infamous for breaking, definitely get the looks

one big difference is that your z12s will explode and your p12jibs will be sick

p12 or px12? either one will be better than the z12
if you want solomon the sth 12 could be an option though

I had Z12's on a pair of PE's and they constantly pre released, I would stay away from them if I were you. Get the Jibs

Damn, i was always under the impression that the Z12's were good light park bindings.  Good thing I never actually bought a pair for anything.

i've broken that plastic heel piece on my z12s from falling on switch landings and the brake fucking up.  not durable at all... light, but not durable... get sths if you get salomons...

as for px12s... quite a bit heavier, but a lot burlier.  not many complaints, except i boned myself in the buttcheek with one of the dildos once and it left a bruise :(

Mojo 15's are the best I think.

you possibly dodged one of the worst and most embarrassing things that could happen to you skiing, becoming legitimately gay...... with your ski binding... youd get to claim the shit out of it for being the first (I hope) but im not sure if thats something you would actually want to claim...

I have z12 on my msps and z10s on my silencers, i got em cuz they were cheap, light as hell, and cheap. Don't get em, my z10s are done for after a season and i don't know how the z12s haven't exploded but ive prereleased several times where i really did not wan't to prerelease and it wasn't fun.

hahahaha, if i actually dildo-d my self in the butthole i would have to abstain from using px12s for the rest of my life...

it would be awkward... i would tell no one.

id look z14 if u wanted to stick in the z series. no more plastic track and metal reinforced toe piece. same binding as the sth14 but without the sth colorway/branding.

that said, go pxs. such a great binding
