Womens bindings

How retarded am I if I buy womens bindings...? Are they going to be durable enough for a male skiier? I assume they are constructed with a smaller weight/load bearing capability in mind, so they aren't going to be as strong as regular bindings of the same brand/din/style etc.

Quick responses appreciated

i don't think it matters, they say the only reason why there are different bindings is cuz women have a different center of gravity but i think its bs, i have mens bindings and they work fine for me.

because deals.

I wouldn't think there would be any issues with women wearing mens bindings... I'm asking if men are going to have durability issues with womens bindings, or if the difference is generally cosmetic

What binding is it? Low DIN? How heavy are you? What skiing do you do? Type of skier?

If youre talking about the roxy boner bindings they're the exact same as the rossis/looks, just a hell of a lot cheaper

Yeah Roxy doesn't make their own gear so it's mostly rebranded mens stuff. I've heard about guys buying the Roxy version of the px12ti as it is often the cheapest way to get a binding with a decent amount of metal in it.

That said if I remember correct some women's bindings will have a slightly raised heel piece relative to the toe piece to help them get their stance forward (something to do with our lower centre of gravity maybe?). I've never tried them so I'm not sure how much you would notice this when skiing but it is something to keep in mind.
