If you actually think that attack 13s are too heavy then go for the 11. There arent really better bindings that are the same weight.

This, just don't expect for them to hold up very well to park usage, it's not what they were designed for.

I think you're overthinking this binding weight thing.... it's 1800 grams vs 2070. That's 270 grams. A cup of water weighs ~240 grams for some perspective. So @ASSholebomber22 was right.

Yep, and binding weight is right in the middle of the ski / directly attached to your boots and not anywhere near the end of the ski, so the difference in swing weight between even an 1800 g and 2500 g binding is not noticeable at all for me. The only time I ever think about the weight of my bindings is while skinning.

Buy some pivot 18s and do some squats or something

do what you want and yeah you're very light so it's probably fine but you would never notice the difference in weight between 11s and 13s, and 13s are particularly light bindings

Attack 11s get a lot of shit and some of it deserves and some of it is not. I think the main disadvantage with them over Attack 13s is that their higher ride height gives you more leverage over you edges, which means your more likely to catch one and they would ski less flat. I am an aggressive park skier at 125 lbs and have had little issues with my Attack 11s although I kinda do regret not getting 13s honestly. Also apparently since the heel is raised it shifts your boot to be leaning forward as well(I think?)

yeah, since they're more of a beginner/young person binding, i believe they do have a little different ramp angle
