So at a local shop they have 4frnt bindings and want to pick up a pair or two but want to know if they are a good deal for my riding.

Im 5 foot 95 pounds. Advanced skier and ski park and powder and big mountain. I ski baker and stevens if that helps any.

The binding they have are Padlock 11- $80 and Deadbolt 13- $180.

   I plan on mounting these on a 162 sfb and some 155-165 park ski.

 So are these a good deal to buy to put on my two pair of skis?

Deadbolt are good bindings, same as tyrolia peak, head mojo etc. Deadbolt will last longer than padlock and has higher elasticity.

In other words, deadbolts on SFB (bigger ski, more force on bindings) and padlocks on park skis.'

Since you¨re pretty lightweight you should be fine

It's not like they're going to explode if you do, but with bigger skis come bigger force and therefore I suggest that you put the better binding on the SFB's

deadbolts are super good. i have them on my CRJ and the hold they are durable too
the pad locks on the othe r hand,
i dont have them, but my friend does, not really a ski you want to do rails with,
any impact from the bottom makes them realease.
and the brakes break super fast.
they dont eject and our ski will likie go full seed down a hill
and they acratch pretty easy
