I couldn't find the sticky explaining it.

I'm 5'10" 155 lbs
Skiing mostly trees and other back country type areas, bombing groomers and a little park
I'd say I'm a type 3 skiier
Skiing on 4frnt yles with a 118 width
Spending less than $200

(Used to skiing hand me downs with rental bindings so really anything helps hahah)

Id recommend Tyrolia peak 15s for someone at your weight, its a solid binding

As you know I am shopping for bindings for the same skis. I'm just a little taller and heavier than you and I don't really ever see myself needing more than a 12 or 13 din binding. I'm considering at the Attack 13, PX 12, and both the FFG and STH 12s. Price will probably be the deciding factor. I have FFG 12s on my current all mountain set up and with the exception of one possible pre-release I haven't had any issues.

I've had my eyes on the attack 13s for a minute. I haven't heard anything bad at all. Plus it's labor day weekend this weekend so huge deals are about to pop up! I'm just tied off rental bindings.

^The attack is probably my top choice. I'm looking at those online sales with a grain of salt since I will need to pay someone for mounting. Around here most of the local shops open this weekend and in the past they have been able to barter for a better deal. I may have to wait a while since my overtime plan is not going so well. On Saturday I only got in a hour and 1/2 before they cut my power to install a new generator. I just found out they will be testing fire alarms this weekend.

Shitty man! I was only able to crank out a half hour and then I was told OT wasn't authorized last weekend. But its all approved this week and today I've only got 4 hours left on my 11 hour day.
