i know this is a re post but im 5'9' 145lbs

just bought som hellbents (169) and i ride up in washington in the "heavy pow"

and i hav pretty much broken it down to a certain catagory of bindings

'09 marker jester

'09 look px15

'09 salomon z14

'09 salomon sth16

and im currently trying to choose a binding. +k if you can explain why your choice would be the best binding for me

thanks much
 
i think the sth14 would be perfect. good enough din for 145 pounds but still keeps the weight down, plus if your boot is between a 24 and a 27, you can probably just use the holes already drilled into the ski without remounting!
 
Jesters. Reasons? Wide mountain pattern, wide DIN range, light and bomber. Seriously, if price is no object, there are few better bindings than Jesters.
 
exactly dude

brennon

you will love those bindings on those bents

thats what im putting on mine when u get em

heard nothing but positive comments on those things
 
look into the Marker Griffons. Same thing as the jester, but they only go up to a din of 12. Thats what i've getting on my 09 Prophet 100s. I'm quite a bit bigger than you (6'0" 250lbs) and i'm only skiing on a 8.5-9.5 din. Also, i've cracked the binding plate(fatass) on 2 pairs of salomons so that's why i've strayed away from that line.
 
The griffons are not the same as the Jesters, just with a different DIN range. They are lighter as a result of using different plastic, cheapest because of it, and also not as durable. They probably would be fine for someone who is 145lbs, but you, at 250, should get something that is burlier, especially considering you said you've busted 2 salomons.
