STH2 vs aaattack 13/16

The three bindings in question are all very similar. I've ridden on Pivots and STH2's and there's not too much of a difference between the two... I'd even say that the quality is a little better on the Pivots. The attack13's on the other hand, I have not tried but have heard only good things about it. If I were you, I would hunt for sales on all 3 and pick the cheapest one.

Yes and yes! I like the 13s because 13 is the most thug #. STH looks kinda like an airplane and that is cool. Tyrolia is a very nice binding and the metal AFD looks cool. Really can't go wrong with those two. I use both. I also have some wardens and I can't tell the difference in how they ski so I just look for the best price which is probably not going to be the pivots.
