New skis. Had shitty marker 11.0 bindings on last skis and they snapped on like a normal wipeout on a 15ft jump. Im looking to stay under 200$. I am getting k2 Domain skis which are 90mm wide underfoot, so brake must fit accordingly. I ride 80% rails, 20% jumps (biggest 30ft) so i dont think the din needs to be that high... but idk. I am 6'0 and weigh 140lbs.

PLEASE POST ANY LINKS OF GOOD BINDINGS FOR MY NEEDS.

Thank you

Head Mojo 12s, mine have been amazing except my brakes were too small for my skis so they bend occasionally

tyrolia has 50% less of a return rate than the next runner-up. any 12 binding should do you.

i ride salomon sth 12's on domains. found that they are great bindings cept i landed switch once and my brakes caught and ripped out. thats an aviodable issue tho (bend brakes upwards). i weigh 145 and am about 5"8. i mostly ride rails as well tho i occasionally hit jumps. biggest hit has been 50 feet since i bought my new setup.

I find i like the design of them as well because i used to have rosi pivots and the severe ass rapege that happens when you fall backwards onto the heelpeice is far less.

I would stay away from the newer generation rosi bindings because the brakepeice is almost made entirely of plastic and cracks on landings. i have a friend who went through 5 brakepeices on his. most of the damage was from constant impact from coming off of rails to ice or harder snow.

for reference i have my dins set at 9.5 all the way around and i wouldnt think about going any less... ever.

enjoy the domains im actually planning on buying a second pair i love them so much

this, for as much hate as they get, they are really solid bindings.

your gonna get what you pay for. less money=cheaper binding. i just got look pivot 18's, and they are FANTASTIC. i'm a big guy though, so i need a burly binding. you're pretty light so look into some pivot 12's, they'd be perfect

Everyone hates on Griffons, but for your weight, theyd be a great choice.
