Anybody know of a pair of blue bindings that would match Chronic Cryptonites which also happen to fit my profile?

jesus. dont get bindings just because they match your skis. look at the marker griffons they are a good binding with a lower din for a lighter skier like yourself. a lot of people on here will tell you that griffons suck because they are plastic, they break, etc. But ive skied them for a few years and i never had any problems. but im sorry they are not blue.

I understand the importance of having performance over something minor like color, but I'm hoping that I could get the best of both worlds if anybody happens to know of any GOOD bindings that are also in the blue that I'm looking for. So please, the flaming is unnecessary.

Yeah, I've been looking at these. These are the closest to what I want minus the yellow and red. Anybody have personal experience on how these perform?

He doesn't need anything near DIN 15. I've heard good things about this year's Look PX 12 jibs.

Doesnt need to. They start wicked low and you want a DIN in the middle of the DIN range.

No you don't... you just want it to stay away from the top 20% of the range. I ski 18 din bindings on 10 everyday.

(this is urban legend status) A LOOOOOOONG time ago, a few bindings had problems releasing right at their lowest settings, because things would not have enough tension on them, and slip out of place/seize/break you. BUT those problems have long since been fixed. Just make sure you get a release test done on them.

BTW, you suggested PX12s. the OP is light, so I think 1-2 pounds less for the Mojo bindings is much more important than the DIN being perfect...

And to the OP. Color coordinating your skis makes you a gaper. Just buy cheap stuff, and put the extra money in a savings account for when your a 22 year old college student like me, and you can barely afford rent and textbooks, much less blue bindings... You parents would probably be impressed.

Well then... Why are you buying bindings to match your skis?

BTW, those Mojos are sick. I have two pair. (but classy black.)

As I said a few posts earlier, I understand the importance of performance over something small like color, but I was just wondering if they might be a binding that is both blue AND performs well. Doesn't hurt to find out does it?

Everything we do hurts children in Africa. They get even more hurt when we spend 500 bucks a pair of skis and 300 bucks on boots but we cant afford to spend 50 cents a day so that poor little Abidemi can have dinner at night.

Wow really? I just always thought that was true. I guess you learn something everyday. But either way they would be fine for him.
