Not entirely sure which binding to get, any suggestions would be good.

Have somehow gone this far in skiing with no real idea what separates them.

Currently have chronic s with tyrolia attach 13s.

Just got a pair of Faction Prodigy 3.0 190s. Southern hemisphere so a good ski for all days kinda thing.

Weigh 176 pounds
Height 6.2
Ski mostly on piste smashing sides hits etc. Unless off piste is good to go in which case i barely ski in piste at all which you would understand if you lived in NZ.
Will lap the park frequently on the way down, but nothing to serious just some jumps and rails.

Would i simply just get another pair of attack 13s? GW vs the AT.
can someone tell me what would suit better and why?

TIA

I would put you on another pair of A13s. The binding just works. While im not a huge fan of the new toe they still work really well. Another option would be to get pivot 14s but they will cost more. Best bang for the buck is the tyrolia hands down.

agreed with above post. pivots if you want or need them due to your size, weight, send level, etc. attacks if you want something cheaper and lighter

freeskibum, remind me what the difference on the new toes is?

They use to be this:

but when they went gripwalk, it became this monstrosity:
It's so wide now and not compact anymore.

In regards to OP's question about GW vs AT, the AT will support a wider variety of boot soles and has a higher stack height 24mm vs 17mm for the GW version.
