What binding should I get for them? I weigh 135 lbs, pivots would be nice but they are kind of expensive. Thoughts on Tyorlia Attack 2s? Do I go a brake width of 100 or 115? Where can i get bindings for the cheapest online?

I already have Salomon STHs but those are old. How do I tell if/when they will be indemnified? They are 7-8 years old IIRC

Thanks for the help guys, I know theres a lot of questions

Go with the 100mm brakes. Brakes that are too wide are annoying IMO. Also never had tyorlia bindings but Ive got pivots on mine and I don't love them. They look great and ski well but they can be kind of finicky. I prefer my marker jesters overall.

Attack or Attack2 brakes come in 95 or 110mm widths, so 110 is the right size for the Kartel 108. The Tyrolia brakes tuck in perfectly so they won’t catch. Great light bindings!

The Attacks are great! And much lighter than Griffons(nothing against griffons though). Dont go with a brake width narrower than the ski, you have to tweak them out and they dont tuck in as well.

This really depends on the size of the skis and brakes. With attacks you want the 95mm on skis up to 102ish waists, anything over that you go 110. With the Shift the 90mm brakes are probably good to 96, had to stretch a bit to fit on 99, and the 100mm brakes had to be worked a little to fit 110 skis, probably no issue with 106-108.

A good snug fit is better than a lot of overhang.

Attack2s are pretty dope but the OG Attacks came in a little lighter and a little lower stack I believe
STHs/FFGs are always a good choice and I really liked the metal version in the 16 DIN
FKS/Pivots have the most elasticity out of any binding and really allow you to engage hard into a turn plus are fully bombproof and last a lifetime
Griffons/Jesters good bindings but the heel pieces can be finnicky, probably my least favorite bindings i've ridden but you can find them for good deals

Also Id recommend going with the smaller brake and bending out. for a 108mm ski a 100mm brake will be the best fit. I usually size down on brakes and bend 8-10mm max to fit a ski.

Attack 2s are the best bang for your buck product in all of skiing IMHO. Go for them.
