thinking about geting 09 176 chronics and dont know what binding works the best.  i herd that the px12s are money on the chronics but dont know if saving up for jesters will help me in the long run.  im about 5 10  and weigh 150. i ride at 50%park and 50% all mountain. +kkkkkk for usefull posts.

i think that you should probably save up for jesters. i have them on my bacons and they are absolute money. i have never had any problems with them... they're basically just really sweet.

px12s are dope, i've heard, but they might be a little low for din (depending on how you like your setting). if so, you should either look at jesters or px12/15s

hope that helps...

It really depends on how aggressive you are. I have the Griffons on both my pow and park skis and theyve been performing perfectly since the day ive bought them. There is almost 0 performance difference between the Jester and Griffon, exact same design in all aspects,except for toe wings,heelpiece and din. All in all if your looking for an inexpensive but durable binding id go with the px 12. The only problem ive almost ever heard about the px is the heel piece, but you can pay the extra like 30 bucks and get the PX 12 Ti, with titanium heel.

Hope this helps

Not one bit, everthing has been perfect on both pairs.Ive had quite a few crashes as well and their amazing. And i thought about the jester a lot as well. But since i bought my griffons from a shop i wasnt really willing to pay an extra 100 bucks for a higher din and metal, When both the bindings perform EXACTLY the same. but if you are more aggressive or weigh more then me id get it, but if not id suggest the griffon. And im exactly the same measurements as you.

i have px12 jib titanium and they're nice. i mean i guess i dont really realize what makes a binding good, cuz basically i just want a binding that keeps me on my skis and doesnt pop off, which mine dont unless i eat it hard, which is what they supposed to do. thats my take on it

theres absolutely no reason to save up for jesters if griffons are on your list, especially if you dont ski deep pow. ive had the griffons this whole year and i love em. perform well in and out of park. and ive heard about the px12 heel piece problame as well. id go with the griffons if i were you. but if $$$ is a concern, go with the px12's

i have the jesters on my k2 public enemys and they are awesome. im a pretty big guy 2 at 5'11 240lbs and they've held up really nicely. no problems what so ever. plus i scored a deal on them at my local hoigaards, jesters for $229.

i don't know much on the px12s, but like others have said the griffons are pretty much the same bindings just lower din and what not.

id deffinitly recomend the jesters if you can pick them up for 230. if not, still an awesome binding to check out
