Durable bindings?

I have recently owned two pairs of bindings this season and both of them have cracked sidebars or have gotten ripped out of the ski. I am looking for a good, durable pair bindings to go with the Halo 2's. If anyone could help me find a pair that would be great!

Look pivot 18/Rossi FKS 18. You could shoot a grenade launcher at these things and they'd probably be alright

If theyve ripped out of the ski, no matter what binding it is, it means they were mounted really shitty.

If you dont need an 18 din binding, take a look at the fks 140/look pivot 14. I have a pair of the fks 140s and love em

if you're that clueless that you need to ask about binding durability from newschoolers, you definitely don't need 18's

You will almost positively be alright riding pivot/fks 140's. I'm on my second season on mine riding pretty hard and they have been fine for me. Only problem was with one of the half moons but I replaced it for 10$

because they are only making them as Look next year. It really was kind of redundant to have both the FKS and the Pivot.

Rossignol decided to kill off their bindings and only use Look. Just check all the pros on Rossi riding look bindings.

Jester 16s or Pros.

Got the pros because they ended up being the same price for me as the 16s. Shit is bomb proof

1. thread belongs in gear talk
2. give skier info
3. get suitable replies. a look pivot 18 is a rediculous binding choice if the chap is 15 and 120 pounds.

They are trying to become more of a ski fashion company so they are gonna stop making bindings. That's doesn't matter though because they are just looks with a Rossi paintjob.
