Well I know I need something with a 14 din because of my size (5'11" 230) but I dont want to spend $300 on bindings I dont need so can someone help me out?

The 2012 chronics are 92mm at the waist so a 100mm brake be sufficient?

I'm new to park skiing so I wont be doing anything huge anytime soon so I need something rugged enough to take some impact but nothing crazy.

Thanks.

Rossignol Axial 2 140 is the most reliable ski binding for the price. They are durable, have high elastic travel and are at least somewhat light. The ones at this site: http://www.alpinesportinggoods.com/browse.cfm/rossignol-axial-2-140-ski-bindings/4,13021.html?AdID=954--7471 Have a 95mm brake and they are marked down to $200. I would hop on that as soon as possible

Thanks for the quick reply.

The 95mm brake is wide enough for the 92mm skis? First time buying new bindings so just want to make sure lol.

most ski techs recommend a brake width that is the same size as your ski waist so the 95mm break will be perfect for the 92 waist of the ARV

anything by look, Or rossi.since its the same construction.

I'm rocking look pivot 14. Just all around great, they work no matter what, and depending on where you get them... Lifetime warranty.

I would go with a tylrolia peak/4frnt deadbolt/head mojo 15. They are super reliable, sturdy, safe bindings. I would say probably the most underrated binding out there. They are almost always pretty cheap on www.backcountry.com

Those axials are priced just right, 200 is pretty much what I'm looking to spend at this point
