I’ve heard many good reviews on the attack 13 as a park binding, so when I looked on evo to get a pair for myself, I saw that the attack 11 was slightly cheaper. Since I likely won’t crank dins above 11 ever I figured I should save a bit of money and I just get the 11s. Now, I’m seeing that people mostly class the 11 as a ‘kids’ binding and I regret not researching them more. What are the actual differences in functionality, quality, safety, etc between the two? I’m about 160lbs, 6’ 0”, 16 y/o. Did I make a mistake or am I fine

Return them and buy one of these. Or the sale set at Evo for $150.

The Attack 11 is a perfectly good binding for very lightweight or beginner /intermediate skiers. It is not as robust as the 13. The 11 also has a greater ramp angle to help less experienced skiers lean forward and drive skis.

The 11 is really light and easy to step into, but neither are heavy of difficult to step into.

At your size you should really be using the 13.

yeah i'd replace them with 13s. the 11s might be okay if you were small and super not-aggressive, but at 6 feet it seems much smarter to get on 13s. and the price is not much worse so that's good

If you get them on sale usually between $120-150 sometimes a little less. Full msrp is like $220 I think?

You can commonly find them for less than $150. Here's a pair of them (a Fischer rebranded pair) for $140
