So i was looking at the Marker Griffing sizcho bindings. My biggest two concerns are safety and durrability. I have heard that markers break easy and these are plastic bindings. I dont want to speadnd the extra 100 dollars for the jester version wich has metal parts. My other issue is i would like a rottateing heal peice but that isnt such a big deal I also want a vertical toe release but that also isnt a huge deal It just seams like a good thing to have. Any other info would be apreciated

+k for advise

it depends on how hard you ski and how much you weigh. personally i ride jester 16 or jester pros because im 6'1 200+

they are good bindings

the fact that they are adjustable is probably the best feature.

the plastic is not as durable but it make them a lot lighter....might want the jester pros if you plan on beating the shit out of them but for your average rider the griffons are sweet, especially if you split your time between park and pow

Ok thanks Im only 5'6 125 but im growing 3 inches a year for the next two years according to my doctor so I want them to fit me later. I do a lot of woods and park skiing if that helps.

More moving part = more chance to break.

I think you want the Griffon DEMO binding, not the Griffon Schizo.

Funny how all these people including myself have had tHem blow up after literally nothing. I was skiing groomers and my griffon schizos exploded and sent me flying. Do not recommend .

The schizo binding always seemed like a gimmick to me.
