I'm looking for a decent cheap par of bindings and honestly I just have no idea what to look for. I am not going to pay $300 for top of the line bindings like fks or pivots; I'm looking more into the $150-$200 price range. I care more about durability than weight, so I'm not too into griffons. Any reccomendations?

If your looking for a good 12 din go with Rossignol axial 120/look PX 12, Salomon 12sth driver, Trolia/4frt dead bolt 13.

If you want higer than 13 din expect to pay more than $250.

The last part isn't true. You can definitely find more than a 12 din binding for significantly less than 250 if you look for deals popping up. Evo outlet/steep and cheap occasionally/random sites that have to clear out inventory will offer good deals

STH16 Drivers are on sale on backcountry for $225 right now, free 2-day shipping within the states. Mad burly binding and good release characteristics. Just make sure the DIN low of 9 isn't too high for you OP. if not shop around for some 14's or 12's. I'm personally using 12's to save some weight and stay within the middle of the din range.

Based on the knowledge of the op, he probably doesn't need a 16 din binding. Generally guys that need one know they need one and are a bit more educated about bindings.

This, Px 12s or Axial2 120s are always solid. Even more durable if you can get your hands on the version with metal housing.
