I recently got Armada ARW86's and need bindings for them. I'm a type II skier, 5'6" and about 150lbs. Any suggestions?

Also if anyone knows how to move this thread to Lady Gabber that would be great. Thanks!!

Pivots are my personal favorite binding and are very secure feeling. Buttttt they aren’t the best binding for everyone. Attack are also solid bindings that are affordable and feel great

With the 85mm width brake. They have some others more on sale but none I could see with 85mm brakes. That $160 is Canadian dollars so should be just about $130 USD.

Can't say enough good things about my attacks. You don't need a 13 din binding so you should just get whatever's cheaper. Sometimes the higher dins are on sale for cheaper than the lower din.

One more alternative is Marker Griffons, I’ve used griffons for like 4 or 5 years and they’re just fine for me so they’re def good for you, they might even be cheaper than these others if i’m not wrong

They're slightly more expensive than the attacks and they look worse imo. Attacks feel more solid to me.

hmmm… In EU/Finland Griffon and Attack 11 are both 150€ and Attack 13 is 190€ (230$) but idk about the prices in the US. Also they look pretty much the same so I’d just get the ones that cost less, the Attack 11 def good for her too

Griffons are dope no doubt for their price point and accessibility. Over time however any pairs I had developed a bit of play which frankly scared the shit out of me. And hot take, but if you are a pour soul who gets the angle right (or wrong depending on how u look at it) a griffon in the ass is worse than a pivot
