I've been using my sth 16s for 2 seasons now and they are holding up extremely well. The only rosignol bindings I can recommend are the fks. A few of my friends had the pivots and all of them have had issues.

Both bindings are pretty damn durable. Go for the Rossi FKS 140 over the Look Pivot 14. Its the same binding, except the Rossi one is more murdered out and looks much better.

To add, go with the FKS. Probably one of the best park bindings out there. Never pre-release, turnable heels prevent knee damage, all that good stuff.

you can't beat FKS. i demoed some skis yesterday with demo STH 14s at a free demo, came up kinda short on a hand drag, and sheered the heelpiece off of the plate.

Is the STH the driver toe piece?

I would just go with the pivots regardless. I have skied mine hard for a season and a half and they are still in good condition. No other binding has lasted me this long.

Also by rossignol pivot do you mean the Look pivot? because if you do not, then get the rossignol FKS binding.

I always have problems with Salomon bindings. Ive broken 2pairs this season. (Although it was probably my fault)

I would go with Rossy Fks or Look pivots. (Same Binding)
I have had them on my pow skis for 2 years with no problems at all. Best bindings Ive ever owned.

I bought the sth14's at the beginning of the season this year and went through four pairs of brakes. Seems that my brakes will fall off whenever my ski comes off landing switch.
