Don't buy Salomon Warden's.

Broke two pairs of their bindings this season alone and have had friends who’ve broken their bindings. Do not recommend.

yeah thats a warden. The STH is a much more durable binding. Salomon bindings are great if you buy the correct ones. See if you can use your warranty towards a pair of STH2, they will probably treat you better.
 
STH2's are some of the most burly bindings around you can buy. Skip the wardens next time

Edit: I believe the STH even stands for Steel Track Housing, to make the binding more durable to avoid what happened above ^

Warden's aren't for people who throw down imo.

The broken binding in the picture is the low-end Warden that uses a less expensive heel construction. You are clearly skiing harder than what this specific binding is made for.

The STH2 13/16 and the Warden 13 use the same exact heel construction, so bump up to the Warden 13 or the STH2 series.

How cool would it be if there was an 11 din binding on the market that was inexpensive and bombproof. I'd assume the vast majority of people on (non racing) high din bindings buy them for the durability and not because they're maxing out a 11 or 13 din binding, right?

I totally hear you and it would be great to make inexpensive things that were super durable but that's just not exactly possible in the binding world. The nicer, stronger materials are all more expensive. Like you said, the cost doesn't come from the DIN spring, it comes from the overall binding construction.

Im pretty sure tyrolia attack2s are durable as fuck. And you can get 13s for 140$. 11s probly even cheaper but if u arent willing to spend 140$ on bindings youre in the wrong sport

Yeah nothing wrong with attacks, I think the 16 is beefier than their 13 and 11 models though. More metal in the heel? Idk too lazy to look it up
 
that sucks. I have warden 13s and haven't had problems yet. woulda gone with the STHs but my buddy had a deal with the wardens and i've been really impressed so far. maybe this just means im not skiing hard enough. but like [tag=134699]@onenerdykid[/tag] said, the heel piece of the STH and the warden 13 is the same and it's a very reliable/burly heel piece from what I've heard and have felt while skiing it
