so i just won some skis flat, and i need some bindings to go with them, but because i live in switzerland and i also really am not in a position to spend $150< on bindings i've compiled some options. can ns help me decide/give me advice where i can order some bindings?

ive looked at the binding thread, but i still dont have much of an idea about bindings :/

thanks +k for advice







thanks

those dynastar trouble skibindings are decent ! go for those, they're the best ones that you listed, followed by the first pair, the salomons ....

+theyre super common so finding replacement parts or mounting them can be done in any shop ....

or obviously the schizos, i'd say the dynastars are probably going to be a bit sturdier but the schizos are brand new and have the added function of moving backwards and forwards for park/pow ....

it's your call :) dynastar or the slightly more expensive but still very cheap griffon schizos are a good deal!

+k to you, my friend!

The troubles are the best that you have listed, but these are better.

Check the S/T forum for more bindings, most will still work fine for you.

Go for the Troubles. I've used them, and they were the only 12 din bindings I've liked (Haven't used FKS 120).

Go for the Troubles

they also say theyre squire schizo's which are actually more geared towards groms who want the build of the adult binding.

the dynastar trouble is definitely the best option, in my opinion.

My best buddy has the squires. If you throw down, dont get em. They are a piece of shit. Break all the time and pre ejects all the time

oops yeah, i totally clicked a wrong link,the bindings listed are indeed squires, they don't even come with the schizo adjustment system, squires are indeed very light grom bindings, difinitely go for dynastar then , my bad, sorry :/

^^and at OP, yes, the dynastars or rossignol PX12 (identical binding) are quite durable, they have a very good reputation !

Yep, pretty strong.

If you want something to last though, you'd have to look into a beefier or stronger bindings. Usually would cost more $$$

out of your listed options? None.
Schizo's are prone to breaking. I've seen them just explode from nothing.

Check out the Salomon STH 12 Driver
If you can find some FKS 120s, get those.
