yo

im looking to replace my atomin neoxs, which are safe and reliable and all but are wayyyyyyyy too heavy. i would like someone to reconmend some STRONG, LIGHT and RELIABLE bindings. money isn't much of an issue as i am using my skis from last season, but i probably wouldn't need marker dukes or any thing like that as i wouldn't probs use the touring function! like to but i think it would be a waste of money

i ski mostly all mountain/freeride and just moving into more rails/park stuff - keeping it hypy!

ps the bindings will also need to be fairly easy to get hold of cos i live in england at the mo.

cheers.

If money isn't an object, Jesters or STH16's. Both pretty similar in weight and price.

The lightest bindings on the market are the salomon z12 ti.
They are light but I'm not sure about there durability.
Big Spence mentioned the jesters and the sth16s which are good bindings.
For me, I think the px12s and sas120s are the most reliable bindings since they really strong and cheap
but they are a tad heavy compared to jesters.

I had a pair of PX12 Jibs that were P.O.S's. My friend just ruined a pair.
I think they are heavy and not really as durable as I thought. That's just IMO, it all depends on your weight and what kind of skiing and abuse your binders are going to take.
