Hey Guys

Just bought a pair of 173cm Chronic Cryptonite's and i am looking for a lightweight binding for riding all mountain, what bindings do you suggest? and what are their weights per binding?

Thanks

You will have to tell us a little bit more about yourself. How much do you weigh? If you are heavier, FKS's would probably be good. Not the lightest, it's worth it for the added durability.

If you are lighter the salomon z-series binders are super light weight. If you are spending a lot of time off of the ground, in the park, drops, things like that, you're probably better off going for the FKS, Jester or Griffon.

i personally wouldn't choose a binding based on weight rather than durability....

i also highly doubt you'll feel a difference between a lightweight and let's say an FKS or a jester....
especially if your boot is in the ski you won't feel it at all since the weight is all centered an balanced out

however if i'd advice you lightweight bindings, id go with Tyrolia's(or 4frnt deadbolt, head mojo, basically the same binding) you have a whole range in those and theyre low profile, lightweight and bomber....
