I'm looking for a good lightweight binding to throw on my new bent chetler's - I've had good luck with griffons but I've heard a lot of horror stories as well... Any suggestions?

I'm an aggressive advanced skier / 6'4 220

What din do you ride at? But pivots/fks are good, ive also heatd good things about the sth2. Get whatever din range you need.

Griffons are pretty wimpy, especially for someone your size on a Bentchetler. I'd recommend an STH2, FKS, or Mojo type of binding. All are of reasonable weight, excellent reputation, and highly durable.

Also, if you really like your Markers you could always consider the Jester as well. They just aren't my favorite considering you can find metal beasts bindings in the same price ranges.

Sth2 16, rather have a burly binding that will last than a lightweight binding that you are gonna blow up. In all reality the weight of a binding doesn't make a shit bit of difference unless you are talking about touring setups.
