Völkl Revolt 85 + Marker bindings mounting question

Hello guys,

First of all, I wan't to mention that I have just really gotten into learning about this stuff now, so pardon my lack of knowledge.

With that being said... I was looking to purchase the Völkl Revolt 85 with either Marker Squire or Grifon bindings from Glisshop. (https://www.glisshop.co.uk/pack_ski/volkl/revolt_85_griffon_13_id_90mm_black-117787-117743-89849.html). Mounting of the bindings is included in the price, but then you of course have to fill out some info about your weight, height etc. You also have to fill out the sole length of your ski boots. The problem is that i do not currently own a pair of ski boots. I do however know that my size is around 28.

So basically I'm wondering, if I put my sole length at say 320 or so, would the difference between me getting either a 27.5, 28 or a 28.5 ski boot (so roughly 315-330 mm sole length), be too big to adjust the bindings accordingly myself (or get it done somewhere) afterwards.

Sorry if I'm not being very clear, and please do tell me if I'm being stupid.

Thanks,

Felix
 
Most bindings with the exception of Look/FKS "turntable or pivot" bindings allow for ~20mm or adjustment once mounted. As long as your expecting to get fitted into a 27-28 boot you should be good by suggesting a 320 bsl.
 
Boots are a way more important piece of the equation, you might consider getting your boots sorted out first before buying skis?

I considered this as well. The thing is that I really don't want to buy my ski boots online and I'm currently no where near a ski store. Also scared the skis will get sold out if I wait too long.

fair enough, sometimes you have to jump on a good deal.

You could always ask for them not to mount the bindings, just do it later after you get boots.
 
As a side note, if you will be performing larger or more high impact stunts or weigh above 150 lbs, I do not recommend either of these bindings. Jester 16s or Jester Pro 18s are what you'd be looking for. Just my 2 cents, cuz the Griffons and Squires are pretty weak. That being said if you are a lighter, younger person who does not perform high-impact tricks, the Griffons or Squires would suit you well. I'd still advise you to get the Griffons however.

Thank you. Sounds like the grifons will be just fine for me though, since I am pretty light and so on

griffons are a solid binding, I have the newer style generation (to include the newest griffon ID model) and they preform well. Im 5'10", 165 and an aggressive skier. you sacrifice some releasability for their ability to keep you solidly in the ski (they have the highest forward pressure of any binding I've ever mounted).

they have a lot of adjustability, and 320 should accommodate 312-328 BSLs

they will look sweet on some volkls, as they are the same company/ ownership

meant to say perform well, not that they are preformed, though, strictly speaking I suppose they are that too haha
