I bought the 2012/13 AR7 the other day, and was just wandering if you guys could recommend a binding for it - ideally a model from last season, as they'll be cheaper that way.

So far I've been looking at Salomon STH, Atomic FFG and Look Pivot, but if there are any other models then let me know.

Cheers

All of them that you mentioned are good, except for the STH make sure it's the STH Driver.. that way it'll be metal (more durability). As for the Pivots, they're great except the Rossi FKS are the same thing so whichever is cheaper get it (or if they're the same then it's just green vs orange).

which ever is cheapest, but if you have the money, and if you need an 18 din binding, then get the FKS or Pivots. The entire thing is metal and will not break for a LONG time. And they're very safe

I would say it goes like this

Sth 16 steel > fks 180 > sth 16 > sth 14, peak 15, sth 12 driver > marker jester, griffin > fks 140 > peak 12 > px 120.

Pick from tht list how much you want to spend.

tyroila peak/4frnt 15 is on sale right now. For a 15 din Binding you will not find a better deal.

A 14 DIN binding should be a good suit for you, it will accommodate your current DIN, whilst still giving you some space to run your DIN higher in the future. If I were you, I'd take a look at the Pivot14/FKS140, STH14 Driver or STH2 14 (replaces old STH for 2013/2014) and the Peak15 multiple rebrands from Head, 4FRNT, Amplid and Liberty.

Well i just picked up http://www.backcountry.com/head-skis-usa-mojo-15-ski-bindings-hea0241?AID=10279061&PID=6147383&SID=43ut3t7t4ukg to go with my Ar7s but they were on sale super cheap. Now it really depends on your $ to spend, with a bigger budget go STH or the FKS/Pivots but if you have less cash maybe go with Jesters/Mojos/Peaks.

Just to say next season there is no sth2 14. There is only going to be a sth2 13 and sth2 16. Basically they are just spitting the difference.
