Looking to buy a new pair of bindings this year.  I don't need a binding with a high din.  Using it for 50% park 50% glades...Price range >300... Suggestions?

How much do you weight/how tall are you? What is a high din for you?

FKS/Pivots (same binding) are the best you can get IMO, you can probably find a pair somewhere for around $300.

I agree with Ducky. Salomon STH 12s are good, you don't need to spend $300 for a good 12 din binding.

FKS are great if you have $425 bucks to blow, but there is really no point to it

FKS are probably the easiest quality bindings to find for less than $100.  They've been around forever so it's super easy to find them on worthless race skis.

Thanks to you too, your thread made me go look on Kijiji for bindings, which made me notice a job opening at a local ski shop.
