Hey guys, I have last years Chronics with the 85 waist. I ski pretty darn fast and hit everything there is to hit. I don't go very big in the park but I ski aggressively everywhere.

I'm looking for a good all around binding that has a solid reputation and wont shred my knee like other bindings I've seen and used.

I narrowed it down to PX12s or STH12s. I am 5'11" and 160 lbs and consider myself an advanced to expert skier. I don't think I need a DIN above 12. But you guys know more about this than I do.

What do you think and do you have any other binding/DIN suggestions?

If you got extra money, Salomon 12 STH Driver. Solid partial metal binding. Super bomber 12 din binding.
If you on a budget PX will work fine as long as your not hitting big features switch. The bolt that holds in the brake on axials/PX is small and snaps under heavy switch landings. (if you landing jumps switch that are bigger than 20 ft don't get this).

This years driver.

And for a wild card. If your planning to progress alot or want higher end/din binding here you go. 15 din.
