Hey guys,
i'm planning on getting the Line Sir francis bacon and they are already a bit too expensive for me. So i don't really want to buy a very expensive binding as well. Just wondering if the squires (or griffons) are any good on them. If you have a suggestion leave them below!
Thanks!

I know myself and a few friends have started steering clear of marker bindings because the plastic seems to snap under the heels all the time.

I have some griffons and they squeak and creak a LOT. Sounds like there's a fucking mouse on my ski...I will not be getting markers again.

I made the mistake of buying Marker Squire's on my All mountain ski last year (K2 Kung fujas 12/13) .. And I have regretted that decision multiple times every year I have problems with my brakes..
The overall quality of the binding is pretty shitty (plastic.. plastic.. and more plastic).. If I where you I would go with some Salomon STH² WTR 13's (149 euro).. they are like 30 euros more than the Squire (119 euro)..

Your 125 lbs what do you set your din at? Honestly your not a big guy so I would have a hard time seeing you breaking a binding unless it was like a solly z10. Realistically you should be fine in a squire but if you wish to have that little bit more added beef to it look at the griffons.
