The weight of the ski is way more affecting than the weight of the binding. Just get some bindings that will last.

Swing weight of the ski is proportional to the length cubed. So for skinny, probably better to just shorten up.

Not without some concerns, bu the Shift is probably the best light weight binding. Spendy and silly if you are not touring.
Look Spx 10 is probably next best.

But there's only like a 200g difference each side so OP should just go with the popular opinion of this and his other threads and buy Attack 13s.

The attack 11 is great all-mountain binding for lightweight intermediate skiers but not in the park.

Definitely don’t get kids’ bindings, it’s not worth it. You won’t save much weight but you’ll sacrifice safety and performance

get attack 13s, they’re as light as good bindings get and they’re a good price and they’re good bindings

The weight of the binding doesn't matter it's the swingweight of the ski

No, not unless you’re extremely light and don’t do anything even slightly aggressive on your skis ever

price isn’t too different between those and the attack 13s anyway

Yeah man, even at only 115 lbs you don't want to be looking at bindings for weight savings. Get some lighter or shorter skis if you are worried about weight

And I would go with the Tyrolia Attack2 13. I'm guess you are gonna be doing a lot of growing in the next few years, so there isn't much point in going for the 11 which does sacrifice some burliness over the 13 din and up models. The 13 din also has a lower stand height which is a good thing
Bindings are bindings and din is din is din, but in my opinion Tyrolia has the best clip in/clip out feel which is one of the few varying metrics in comparing bindings.
