So I’ve been riding marker binding forever and I love them they feel lightweight and just good in general but recently but I wanted to new bindings maybe better and safer for park and my knees, any recommendations? I’ve been looking at pivots. Anyways let me know what you guys think!
 
just duct tape your boots to your skis... way less safe, but you can post your skis on marketplace never mounted for way more. plus you can use the extra money to pay medical bills

Yeah fr I’ll do that
 
pivots are okay but honestly for the money they are heavy and they don't actually really save your knees from ACL tear because they Dont allow for lateral release.

I just switched from Pivots to Salomon STH2's.... they are light and quite affordable too. if u eat shit they are hella easy to clip back into in deep snow or at weird angle. feel safe and solid. I'd recommend
 
STH2 are reliable, easy step in, good adjustment range, and can be found for a decent price online. Underrated binding IMO

the sth weighs 100g more than the pivot for what that's worth

OP there aren't any bindings that are safer for you knees except for Knee bindings and the new Tyrolia Protector, both of which are horrendously heavy and leave you about 19 inches off of your skis. i ski markers pivots and attacks, they're all good. most people develop somewhat of a preference/brand loyalty but they all have to go through rigorous testing before being introduced to the market so they all pretty much meet the same safety standards

Oooh, idk it feels lighter to me on foot? Probably just a mental thing

bindings are close to your feet so it makes perfect sense they would feel light, since they're not towards your tip/tail the weight is centralized and therefore not really felt on your feet as much

Prob not Pivots because I’ve had a pivot go in my ass
 
Attack 13/14 are probably the best value in the market. Pivots and STH are also great, usually more expensive. Everyone has their favorite but most agree on those three being the best.
 
I like pivots best. Tend to buy a pair and use it for awhile but I buy way more attacks and shuffle them around skis because the price point just can’t be beat for what you get
