Vist Bindings

I have an opportunity to get a really good deal on a new pair of Vist v4-12 Premium series bindings. I was wondering if these would be a good binding for me, because i'm not very familiar with the company and I can't find much info on them.
I would be using them for pretty much 100% park, and hitting pretty big jumps (kings crown at PC) and I weigh around 145.
So has anyone used them? Would they hold up on jumps of that size? Thanks, +k for help.

The original 4frnt bindings were rebadged Vists so do some searches on old 4frnts and you might have more luck. Popular among racers. They are pretty dam heavy.

I think you'd be better off with a peak/mojo 15. They are also super cheap right now (Check Level 9 sports)

They suck, they sucked when they were called nordica's, and the sucked when they had 4frnt printed on them, and they suck now too.

I believe Nordica is using them again if I am not mistaken.

Pretty sure the binding was actually designed by Nordica, VIST produced it for them, Nordica used it for a bit but then went with Marker. VIST then sold the binding as their own, and then to other brands like 4frnt...

Stay the hell away! Heavy, unreliable and break easily
