ZurgYo. I still dont understand the hate on griffons/jesters. They are great bindings. I have used both griffons and jesters and here is my personal recommendation. If you are one of... light (
I remember for a few years back in the day....maybe 2010 or 2012ish, they seemingly had a couple of bad batches for durability. In the hayday of the STH and FKS/pivot they quickly gained the rep of not being durable and people largely toted the latter two as being the end all be all. I think that reputation still follows them around to this day with some of the older people on NS, myself included.
for the most part these days though they are just the same price as debatably better bindings. Griffs are 200ish, jesters at 300ish, and jester pros are 350 I think. You can get attacks for 200, pivot 12s for 300, pivot 15s for 350-400, sth 2 13s for 180 and 16s for 350. This is just quick googling so you can definitely get all of these cheaper with sales etc. Theyre all around the same price range and are debatably more proven for freeride/park.
if you gave most people on here the option between griffons, sth 13s and attacks at the same price, it would be STH then Attack then griffons (honestly the attacks and sth could be switched, I just like sth feel more). Between jesters, pivot 15s and sth 16s its the same story. Jesters will probably be the last choice of most people on NS. Jester pros, well anyone that needs that big of a din range is going to go with an all metal binding most likely. So pivot 18s
