I got a great deal on skis bindings boots at local ski shop, I bought the dallbello boss ski boot and will be getting either atomic panic, theory, possibly salmon rocker2. Anyway, I ski every part of the mountain and need a setup that can do the same. 6'2" 170lbs. I spend some time in the air nothing major mostly cliffs here and there with the occasional park lap, what's the better all mountain binding, I currently have a marker Griffin demo binding that I'm happy with but want to explore other options, sadly my range is really limited to this shop. * they do not offer tryolia peak 15 which would be my choice of the two*

I have griffons and I love them. Ive had no problems. They're lightweight and durable.

If you like your Griffons I guess.. Do they have jesters?

I like mine and my friends seem too as well but I wanted to keep an open mind and get some opinions

They don't have the jesters, they also offer marker squires but I don't think those are quite beefy enough

Because ive been wanting to try tyrolias for a while. Its good to try everything for yourself.
My griffons were fine. Some people have problems with em. Im not sure if ive ever heard anything bad about peak 12s. I really wanted the peak 15s but ended up nabbing a pair of sth 12 drivers for cheap.

well i know my shit about bindings, and while all the employees at my local shop were busy, I decided to help my friend pick up a pair of bindgins. there were px jib 14-12, marker squire, griffon, Head (tyrolia) limited edtion 12s. after asking him what he wanted specifically in the bindgins, I hookd him up with the best bindings there. I told him to pick up the Heads because they have some metal construction, they are one of the safest bindings ever built (knee binding is the only safer one), it just so happened to match his new skis, they have a great din range for him to grow into, and they will perform better than marker bindings. if I were you, go with the Tyrolia if you want a more powerful binding that is much safer. If you want a higher din binding, then go with Griffon.

Thank you! A twelve din should be plenty for me. I think I'll go with the tryolia
