Binding Question (help me)

Okay, I just bought my second pair of skis and they are my powder skis. They are 112 underfoot and I need bindings for them immediately. I have been shopping around but don't know if the quality is good enough on the bindings in my price range because my skis emptied my wallet quite a bit.

Are Rossignol SAS bindings excellent quality? I am 5'8" and 125 lbs. My other bindings on my park skis are Salomon Z12 Ti bindings and I am extremely pleased with them and got them brand new when they cam out for $129 and would love to find another good deal.

Are Dynastar and Look Bindings related because the names of their bindings are nearly identical.

Any site promo codes would be great so I can afford good bindings for a good price. Advice would be great! Thanks!

dynastar, look and rossignol bindings are all exactly the same. And if you're satisfied with z12's, any bindings will probably do. Maybe try sth 12's for your fatties.

a person your size doesnt need a metal/high din binding. stick with z12s if you already like them. personally id brake them in a day but im nearly twice your size...

Wiat, what do you mean by Rossi, Dynastar, and Look are all the same. Do you mean that they are all made by the same people under difference names, that the are all very similar in quality and design, or something else. What bindings do you all use and how do they work for you?

theyre all made by mervin, then rebranded. z12s will be lightweight, sth 12s a bit heavier but more durable, pxs would also be dope

Look is basically chief, and it makes the bindings for dynastar and rossignol who put their name on them. Rossignol even went so far as to name them axiums and axial2's as opposed to novas and px.

I personally use dynastar px14 race bindings, and I'm stoked on them. But what other people use isn't really relevant to you. You use z12's and are satisfied, whilst others can't ski on anything that isn't race stock(full metal, very high din) because they'll just explode them.

Thanks. SO what are some bindings that would for sure be able to handle my weight and height with ease. I know Z12's work for me, but are there similar bindings that I could get at a lower price?

any rossi/look/dynastar binding with a din of 12 would most likely be just fine for you man
