Sup NS
Im in need of a binding. I want a bomber lightweight binding but don't want to spend too much. Im looking at some atomic ffg 12s, Sth2 13s, and some look pivots 14s (however the cheaper the better)
Im 5'11 135 pounds i have a 317 bsl boot and the bindings will go on some joystick these and eventually find their way to some on3p kartels/ jeronimos
thanks and plus k to helpful answers

I would say either the sth 2 or the fks. And if cheaper is better....sth2 seems like the way to go.

But i love the price tag of 120$ vs 185$
or the atomic ffg 12s for 125$
is it worth the extra money to go with the sth2??

They are alright...they will be cheaper, but also be heavier and have more plastic. So if you aren't going to hard they could work. But I would Definately suggest the sth2 over them.

the ffg12 is basically a salomon z12 if i'm correct. which is the worst binding I've ever used. lost a ski because of it and i will never recommend them to anybody till the day i day.

if you cant afford the sth2 i would go for a griffin if you can get them at a good price. i've got a pair and like them but on my next pair of skis i'm going with a pair of sth2 16s

the WTH stands for "walk to ride" allowing you to use a touring boot with a rocked sole as well as a normal boot.

what dins are you comparing?
