Hi,
I just bought new skis (armada thall 2011) and now im looking to buy new bindings. I don't know much abount bindings, used to have rossis and they broke all the time. Im looking to buy marker, because I only get good feedback on them. So im looking for marker;

I heard griffons are really good and I was looking to buy them but I found a good deal on 2011 squires. My question is is the 150$ difference between both worth it? pros/cons of both if posible

also, what brakes should I got for? ( for 2011 armada thall) 90? 110?

Thanks alot!

Size and weight ? If you want some good advice, we need these information. Plus what type of skier you are.

Well, you should buy a 14 or 15 din binding. Sth14 driver , fks 14, marker jester ( maybe too much), 4frnt/head/tyrolia binding 15

dont get squires unless your cash less and want a new bind, you will outgrow/break them. im 6'2'' 165lbs advanced, so very similar to you and im on jesters and fks 155s, i was on griffons but they are pretty worn out now... get fks 14s

griffons, jesters, fks14, rossi freeskis, pxs, sth drivers 12 and 14s, just off the top of my head sound like they'd be suitable

If you want a REALLY good binding . go for the MARKER GRIFFON!!!!!! it is simply the best , i use the griffon personally and think its the only binding for me !

No. They are super light yeah, but they aren't that great durability wiie and they have pretty basic release features compared to other bindings like fks or salomon.

Not true on the 15 din.  I would recommend a 15 if you were and aggressive skier at your weight but since you said intermediate I would recommend sticking with a 12 din.  Tyrolia Peak 12's are mostly metal I would suggest them.  Pretty cheap and a great binding
