I'm needing a new binding for my pow skis, and i'm wondering which is better. I will be riding with a din of 5 (I weight about 105), and a 122 waisted ski if it matters. Im open to other suggestions for bindings too.

well if you r comparing the sth 12 os to the ffg 12, go for the STh. The ffg has the same toe but it has the z series heel not the sth heel. If your comparing the STH 12 os to the driver version, get the driver version. Its the same heel as the STH 12 os but the driver version has the driver toe which is better then the z toe.

Its cofusing lots of people get it wrong

New proposition: STH 12 oversize vs. Rossi Axial2 120, since the ffg seems shitty quality. And i dont ride super hard, so Im really not looking at getting the drivers.

Thats a bit tougher choice, the axial is good but a bit heavy. The STH 12 os is ok but the toe is not the best, I would prefer the axial toe.

But the driver version is only $30 more then the OS so, just get the driver. Its better then the axial, and really you can never have a binding that is too strong.

Don't get the oversize, if you're going for a Salomon binding, get an STH Driver. The 12 Driver would be good for you
