So kinda stuck on what I should pick up for a freeride/touring setup, currently on Sakanas and I'm a strong skier, binding options are Shifts and duke Pts, I'm a heavier set, 6'3, and 220 pounds so I don't want anything hyperlight. I'm living a bit in Quebec before heading out west this winter so something that can still rip on harder snow would be ideal, Currently Looking towards a faction Prodigy 3.0, Moment deathwish 104, or an on3p jeff or mango 110.

I picked up some Jskis Slackers, they’re 110 wide. Obviously haven’t tried them yet but pretty excited to this season. Not sure what graphics they have left for them tho, but I’d say worthwhile to check out.

Don't get shifts. You'll either love them, or hate them. Don't risk it.

If you're going to spend $600 on bindings, get the cast freetour upgrade with pivot 15/18. The Duke PT looks sweet, but stay away from the shifts.

I've seen more Duke PTs fall apart than shifts and the Duke pt has only been out for a year. Just sayin. Cast is definitely the bomber option

I risked it, had to cop a pair on armada pro stock drop day for 450 Canadian, can’t go wrong

As long as they are properly adjusted you should be aight, from what I've read it mught be a good idea to make sure the boots still fit every sk often (check forward pressure and afd)
