So a couple days ago i ordered some hell bents as a xmas present to myself, the only problem is i can't decide on a binding. The waist width of the skis is 132mm, do i want to go with a brake width of exactly 132mm or do you recommend slightly bigger? Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

Just get brakes in the 130 width, you'll be fine. You might have to tweak them a little (but I doubt it since its only 1mm per side) but its better than having brakes that are too wide and drag on you. Plus, I'm not even sure brakes wider than 130 exist...?

Marker makes brakes that are 132mm for duke, jester and griffons, but i can't find ones online they're all sold out. That's kind of what i was thinking, thanks!

4frnt make brakes both in a 130mm and 150mm for deadbolt 15/18. I love my 18's and don't think I would go with anything else.
