you DONT want to cheap out on bindings. griffons are a lot cheaper then 400. squire's are good if you are like 100 pounds or less and not a very aggressive skier.

Squires are kids bindings that suck... A lot of people hate on Marker, but I've had 2 pairs of Jesters and never had a problem. I also have friends who really like the Griffon.

Squires are a nice jib binding and do alright on smaller jumps, but I wouldn't get them for the obesthed's or kung fujas because they arent a good charging binding unless you're pretty small

Griffon's are pretty much the same as the Jester's just made with more plastic

About the picture above:

Don´t buy Griffons/Barons, Jester/Duke are much better. My Barons (healbinding) snapped off during heavy braking in pist. They were only set to DIN 9, and was mounted on Line SFB. My weight is only 75 kg. I have the Dukes now, and they work fine. The part that broke is of steel on the Dukes.
