    lightest decent binding

    i'm looking for a binding to mount on my new soft bros, and keeping with the weight factor, what is the lightest decent alpine binding. Also, i only need a din of 12 b/c i'm only 5-10, 140lbs.
    Thanks

    They've been mounted for a year so i dont remember how they compare to the 914, but I have a pair of last years tyrolia mad flex 9's (DIN 5-15, basicly this years mojo 15) that are bomber and pretty light. If you're looking for a high DIN I just bought a pair of FKS 185 that are impressivly light for such a burly binder.
    No, the real point is, I don't give a damn

    Let us tell you of our really really really ridiculously great bindings on our trek through the BC today. It helps when you are really really really ridiculously good skiers. Even when we are skiing, we want to talk about skiing and because we are really really good looking, we like to take a lot of pictures of ourselves while skiing. Since we are really really really ridiculously goodlooking, we don't want to reveal our true identities at this time, but we will grace you all with our BC adventure from today.
    As we awoke to a turbulent sky, the promise of new cold smoke arroused our senses. We knew that we had to cease the opportunity to look really really really ridiculously good while we climbed up to go "git some". As the snow glistened like diamonds and the sun filtered through the glorious sky, we reached our final destination.
    The ride down was nothing other then really really really ridiculously good and we both looked really really really ridiculously good in our "Powder Suits".

    Dynafit TLT. It's not because it works on the ascent that it doesn't work on the descent...

    For alpine boots, I like my S912Ti weight-wise.

    3rd the s912ti, Just make sure your skis arent too soft, ive had the back of the riser plate break twice from stress.
    The soft bro's are def stiffer than my shitty old pr's though, and I do weigh a burly 170 ha.

    i have a mojo 11, new in box, that'd i'd let go for cheap, if you're interested. they're probably the lightest alpine binding that i know of, and they seem pretty decent despite their lack of highway star-approved race stockiness.

    You forgot to mention what bindings you used.
    You also forgot to be funny.

    I'll put in a vote for the S912ti also. For a DIN12 binding it's one of the lightest out there and you can find last year's models brand-new for like $100 if you look around and are patient.
