What bindings for my Liberty Lte (171)

I just bought the Lte. I bought them on ebay without bindings.
Im 130 lbs, im 174 cm tall (5'9)...
I would like a binding to be as light as possible, but still as durable as possible.

I liked the Marker Griffon 12 pretty good, except that it was very hard to "click" into
them because that there would always be some snow in the binding.
So I had to pick up my ski, take off my gloves, and scrape the snow out of there.
The Marker is kinda bad if it's some pow...

So I want a light binding that is still pretty durable, and that is pretty easy to "click" into, even if there is abit of pow....

Thanks and +K

I'd say STH Driver 12s if you want to easily click in w/ some pow. Rossi FKS 140s are still easy to click in and more durable than the STH but will be harder to get into with some snow

but yea on a more serious note, get fks 14s, they are safe and more durable than an all plastic binding like griffons or sth12s, sure they can be hard to click into when it snows a bit but if ur not a wingy bitch u wont be bothered by it. i have jesters which i love, fks 155s which i also love and griffons which were good but now they pre release all the time

Take a look at look/Rossi/dynastar px12's. I've never had problems getting them on, and the dildo heel piece is easy to pull up on if you need to get them on in a tight spot. They are durable, maybe a bit heavier than some other options, but more durable than, for example, the markers

Yeah thanks. The only thing I didn't like about the griffons was that they pre realeased all the time.
So I want something similar to the Griffons, only that they dont pre release as often.
