Where do you set your DINs? Have you found a good deal on the 16s?

If you think your gonna have your dins set above 10 get the 16's. If not get the 13's unless you can find a better deal on the 16's

It doesn't matter if you're going to set above 10. Typically most higher din bindings have more metal construction. I don't believe that to be the case with the attack's. In that case 13 is more than sufficient.

unless you're hitting like 12+ there's no point getting 16s

16 has more metal. your DIN setting is irrelevant unless you need above 13, in which case you wouldn't be asking this.
