I'm looking for a binding to go with Candid Yard 2012.
I'm skiing in Norway/French Alps, I go pretty much anywhere, and like to throw 180 or 3's on 15/20 feet jumps andstraight airs on 50 feet jumps (max so far). I do not do rails. I hit all kind of slopes. So i'd say 50/25/25 park/slopes/off-piste
I'm 27 years old, weight 80kg (176 lbs) for 1.85m (6").

Here are the bindings suggestions on the online shop :

PX12 JIB 2012

FKS 140 L (ORANGE FLUO) [2012]

NX12 JIB BLACK 2012

Thank you for your advice :)

for your weight I'd get the rossi fks' they're the best there. I doubt you'll find a better deal than these: http://www.sport-conrad.com/page/product-detail/__/shop/prod/1870

majority of the things rossi make are solid, I haven't personally tried those skiing but I reckon they'd be good, wait for somebody more knowledgable to answer.

fks140
px12
nx12
in that order ....
i dunno what din you ride but i'm about the same weight as you and i would personally look more towards 14-16dins ...

fks is farout the best, px series is also pretty good but i have 2 of those and on both pairs my heelpiece got worn out ...

i'd stay away from the NX...

rossi axial 12 is the same as the px12 if i'm not mistaking ...

Alright thanks for the input.
I've seen Salomon - N STH14 Black In the package as well. I guess they are pretty good too according to the above posts.

I used those last season and had no problem with them. They are a little heavier that some other 12dins but I found them to be much sturdier/durable than other 12 dins. However at 180lbs the FKS14 would be better suited.

if all you can find are the 140's go with them, realize that the have a plastic toe though if you can find rossi fks155's those a same din and are all metal, if now then i recommend the sth14's all metal for super good price, my friends have lasted him for like 3 years. Hope this helps :D

Holy fail.

The FKS155 does not have the same DIN range as the 140.
The 140 has a different toe than the 155.  The 155 has a lot of metal in the construction, but is not "all metal".
The sth14 is not "all metal" either.  The closest thing you're going to get to a "all-metal" sth14 is a 997.
