FKS 140s! No person under 150 needs a 18 din binding IMO

Go for the 140, there is no way you need the 180. Im guessing your around 5'6, 120lbs (as you said) with a boot proberbly 25.5 (sole length 295mm) So even if you put 3+ as your skier type your din would be around 6.5 8 at the very max. So there is no need to get an 18 din binding, there is no real need for a 14 din binding either the FKS 140 starts at 5 so you would still be down the very bottom end. You could easily use a 12 binding, but the 14 will give you room to grow into.

No a 27.5 boot will make your very top end din no more then 8.5 compared to 8 with a 25.5 , its mainly down to how little you weigh. Get the 140 as an absolute max, but as I say a 12 din binding will be fine and cheaper.

lol get 120's. I'm 180 and the 14 (while cutting it close) is good enough for me.

I'd put money down that you won't. I weigh 70 pounds more than you and I doubt I could break them.

Get the 140's.
I bought them at the beginning of the season, and broke the toe a little bit into the season. I took them to a shop to get them warrantied, and asked whether I could pay the difference between the 140's and the 180's to upgrade, and rossi was down.
So you can buy the 140's, and if you happen to be such an animal that your 120 lb ass can break them, you can upgrade.
