What Binding is better?

[NHall]

I am getting new bindings to remount on my 12' armada el rays and I cant decide between the Solomon Z12 or the Solomon STH 12, also what brake size? Peace!

Id go with the sth's , and any size brake will work with the el reys because they are not a particularly wide ski.

STH all day. Don't get ridiculously wide brakes, they might catch on snow while turning.

OP if you spend about $30 more you can get the STH Driver. A longer lasting binding. Would work great with some El reys. Unless your getting some regular STH at a special price. Either one will work great still.

Yeah defiantly get the STH 12. Make sure its not the STH 12 OS though, thats the z toe version of the. The standard STH 12 is the one with the driver toe.

The reason to go for the STH or z is both for the driver toe, which is one of the best toe pieces on the market, and you also get a much stronger more durable heel compared to the z.

Dont get an STH 10 though, that is a z binding in disguise.

I ended up going with the driver, thanks!
