Hey there NS,

I have been offered a deal on a new set of Marker Squire binding for $100. Are they a good binding? I am 6'2" 140lbs(ish). I ski park and all mountain, and these will be mounted on my S3's -- they are my only ski, so they go everywhere.

Thanks, answers get +k

Could I get by with the squires though? Right now I'm jamming on Rosi demo bindings back mounted.

yeah they will be fine, but if you are charging hard and putting a lot of stress of your skis, i would definitly go for a burlier binding

IMO, it's worth it to just put the money into a good binding. Better for your knees, and its more of an investment. Get a good binding that will last awhile without causing any headaches.
I wouldn't get squires, at least get griffons.

6-2 140? You need to put some damn weight on.

Squire=no.

Well, I'm a skinny guy haha.

I ski hard, but there are 10 year olds that ski harder than me, so I think I'll be okay. I bought em. I've been skiing demo's so I think these will be able to hold up.

no. this tiny 11 year old kid at my mountain broke a pair. theyre made of some really shitty plastic that just shatters if you put any stress on them.
