What size Duke?

My BSL is 317, the small Duke fits up to a 325mm BSL. The large Duke obviously will fit my boots as well, I'd me more in the middle of the range. I've read places that say you should be in the smallest bindings you can be in because of weight etc. Is there any draw back to being right at the edge? Other than I couldn't loan them to people with larger boots or whatever else, not really worried about that just considering performance.

Thanks in advance

yeah go small to save weight.

only way id tell you to go large is if your feet are still growing and think you'll have bigger boots in the future.

if you're foot isn't growing go as small as you can, but being in the middle of the range is nice too just in case you get new boots and that bsl changes.

actually, go large.

you'll be in the middle of the range which is good and the smalls only save you 30g which isn't that much. If you really want to save weight get some dynafits or something haha

I'm just going to get whatever size is cheaper. Maybe I'll flip a coin.

Eventually I'll go tech, I just want to try out a do everything one ski quiver this year and see how it goes.

Smalls have better resale value imo. I wanted smalls, all my buddies wanted smalls. Even at a 327 bsl you will test into it. Just ill have a tight forward pressure
