Attack 12 or 13 never does any harm. They are around $150 for 2015s and $180-$210 for 2016s. Id also go STH2 13 as well as they are $150 for 2015s. These are the most reliable and imo best "park bindings" on the market for a low price range. If these are still outta range its time to dig on NS

Check those out. I am really into the head/tyrolia bindings. I have had a couple different pairs on different skis over the years, always held up well and other than a bent brake here and there never had to fix or replace anything.

id definitely argue this im not a fan of soloman bindings. honestly id say probable tyrolia AAAttack 13. theyre super light and very functional as well as not to large of an investmant

The attack is good for sure but not quite up to the sth2. The adjustment in the toe of the sth is not matched by the attack. Durability wise it will be close but I would take te floating heel of the sth over the fixed heel of the attack. Overall it's certainly close but if you are hard on bindings then sth would take the edge.

i can get on board with this i just have a general bias against solomon binding because i got hurt because of them

i strained my meniscus because the my toe didn't release at the right time. i work at a shop so i went and recalibrated them and the left toe was set to the same as the right but it was almost 2 letters down in terms of twist

fair enough. Like I said they are both great but having ridden both quite a bit I do prefer the sth as much as anything because it's so adjustable. But either will be great.
