I just got the Armada ARV 116 JJ ULs in 185cm and i'm stoked on it. What binding recs do you have to pair with these sticks?

Look in the good deals freind if you go quick you can get em for less that 2 benjamins.

They have the longest elastic travel in a binding, a short mount point and the pivoting heel claims to keep the tibia straight when you release. Last point kinda has no proof but solid bindings either way

what kind of boots do you have and what plans do you have for the skis
personally I would put on some non GW tyrolia bindings because they will pair up well with both my regular DIN soles and my daymakers. also I have a pair of said bindings ready to go
STH tho looks like a spaceship and has all the cool toe tech and is bomber so if I was buying I'd probably buy those and you can get a STH adapter for the daymakers if that is your thing

@Non_State_Actor @OregonDead I have nordica sportmachine 120 boots. I plan to use these skis on any good/deep powder day. I have a pair of ARV 96 and I love them for all mountain stuff. But I plan to be on the ARV 116 JJ ULs for as much as I can, as long as the snow is deep enough. I plan to be in some nice bowls too.

The Look Pivots and GW Tyrolia are traditional bindings but all the other ones you mention have alpine capabilities? Which way you suggest going? For going off-piste on the good powder day I'm prolly gonna need some AT capability.

Mount the tyrolia attack 13 or 16 on it!! The best non tech binding you can put on it!! Stands low on the ski, wider toe piece handles this ski so well and when u wreck in powder it’s so easy to get into. Best binding I’ve run on this ski!!

If I plan to do some off-piste/backcountry occasionally should I get some AT bindings or a non tech binding though? I feel like that is the question

If u only plan to do it alittle bit then get daymakers cause then you won’t have to shell out for new boots as well as bindings. It’s what I run for my non tech setup. But if you are set on putting a tech setup on that ski put the kingpin on it!
