Before I answer this question, I'm going to ask a few of my own - How much do you weigh, how tall are you, what's your rider type and level (1,2,3,3+), and what do you normally have your DIN at. The reason I need this info is because it'll help me narrow down what DIN level you need. Also, I realize you're on a budget and all, but I highly suggest you try and find a way to come up with some more cash, really good bindings are usually expensive, but they will last forever - then you wont have to buy new bindings every year.

With your lack of info, I'm going to just say Head Mojo 15/Tyrolia Peak 15/4FRNT Deadbolt 15. Very good binding, durable, and is probably the best bang for your buck since you can get it for so cheap. But these might not be good for you if you're too small.

i dont know how the number system of how good you areworks but i would be getting a lower din level smething like a ten to 12 din as the highest the binding would go i just want a decent binding tht isnt too expensive because i dont think its worth it for me to get a 200 dollor binding that wont do anything good for me

Just tell us your info. Level rating is based on 1-3+, 1 being beginner, 2 being intermidate, 3 being expert, 3+ being professional. With that said, now tell us your weight, height, type of skiing, etc.

Salomon STH 12s (also branded as Atomic FFG 12s - same binding, different name, sometimes cheaper) or Tyrolia Peak 12s (also branded as Head Mojo 12, and 4FRNT Deadbolt 12 - again same binding different name) would be good and still be cheap. You could look around and try and find some cheap Griffons or FKS 120s (probably used - but used FKS bindings are still good). It's gonna take some searching to find a good binding at $150, just don't go out and get the cheapest thing you can find - you will regret it, they'll either break constantly (or even completely) or they'll end up putting you in a bad situation (ever double eject off a jump? it's no fun).

^^ Haha. Look into some Rossi Freeski 120XL, maybe your local shop has some that are a year or two older that they can sell you. The Dynastar PX 12 Jib is the same binding. People have mixed reviews but for the money I really think they are a great binding. Durable and safe.

Depending on how much and hard you ski, I would not recommend the sth 12 or the ffg 12. My experience with those bindings was not a good and same with the 14. I feel that they are too cheaply built and do not last at all.

What skis are you mounting them on and how wide are they underfoot? We need to know for brake size.

Shitty bindings! Worst I have ever had! STH 14 an16 are alright but the 12 strait up blows. Tends to always release for no apparent reason.

It has already been mentioned, but the PX12 from Look is a great option, probably your best bang for your buck.

You just did it again.  The thread is now over a week old from the last post (over a year old to start), and you are posting in it again for no reason.  Stop it.
