The Salomon STH 14 Driver Binding combines light weight, high retention, and user-adjustability in one package. The steel housing improves durability, while a lighter spring saves weight over it's elder sibling the STH 16. Micro Simultaneous Wing adjustment lets you fine tune the toe contact to your boot, eliminating the slop that causes pre-release and release failure.
Hey Guys, Just like most the other people here I am wondering what bindings to go with.. I am 23 and consider myself an expert. I have been skiing for 15 years, I was a ski instructor for a few years when I was younger. I do a lot of big jumps and rails as well. I have gained a lot of weight in the last year so i am 6' 240 lbs now. I was planning on getting the sth 16 because of this but the guy at a shop i went to insisted i would be fine with 14s.. It would be nice to save the extra 50 bucks but I do not want my skis coming off when they shouldn't.. Anyway I am jsut wondering if you think i would be ok with the 14s or if i should just go ahead and get the 16s. thanks for any help!
I would go with the 16s although u'll be fine with 14s but will be pushing the spring close to it's limits and it's safer not to! for $50 it's worth having the ease of mind more than anything!
Salomon tried to replace this binding with the z14, but it is back by popular demand! And I couldn't be more excited. Granted, I ski the sth16 on most of my skis, but this is the "normal" din version of the that binding, and I've had years of experience on it. I think it is perfect for the largest range of skiers on the hill today. You can crank it up and be safe skiing big mountain lines or leave it low for everyday stuff (Of course always follow the recommendation of your shop). Bottom line, this binding has been an industry benchmark for years because of its fool proof, rock solid performance.
I couldn't agree more. The standard STH toe is based of off the z-series and is for all intensive purposes a beginner binding. I'm very excited about this binding coming back!
The brakes are included. You will need to select the correct brake width for your skis (see 'select options' above). Currently the options available are 90 & 115 If you have a skinny ski the 90mm might work, or if they are for powder skis the 115mm might fit. If the waist of your skis are +/- 3 mm of either of these 2 sizes you should be good to go.

I've only put a day on mine so far, but they're doing great so far. I have them mounted on some Bluehouse Maestros and they seem like a solid match. They feel bomber and no pre-releasing has happened, but that being said I haven't pushed them all that hard yet. The extensive use of plastic makes me wonder about durability, but we shall see how these hold up. I look forward to spending more time on these things.
Hey, I'm going to buy a pair of Armada JJ 185, i'm 5,7 and weigh around 75 kg. Planning to use the skis in groomed but mostly in powder, want them to take drop and sharp turns, would these bindings fit me good or should i go for a pair of Marker Griffon or STH 16 driver.
not really no. you really only need the sth16 if you're gonna try to stomp cliffs higher than 25'... or weigh 200+. I run both but the 14 would work for me probably 90% of the time... I would go with the 14s.
Well i have these and they are great. I have token these on park jumps to clifs and you stay in. The jesters are better for wider skis since the to is so wide. They have a very heel too and are great for powder skis.
How does the standard sth 14 binding compare to the driver model and how important is the driver toe option? there are some negative reviews of the standard toe that indicates prerelease problems, but was this resolved on the current model?
I know a lot of people that love the standard sth14 because it is super light and works well for them. The driver Sth14 is actually being re-released this year because people were sad to see it go. There is never demand for a product to come back if it has issues with pre-releasing. The Sth 14 Driver is back because it works like no other din 14 binding on the market. It is the real deal, it does not pre-release.
It's too bad these don't come with a 130 mm break option. Could i stretch out the 115 mm breaks to the 2011 atomic bentchetlers? They are 123 under foot.
The 130mm brake is made as a replacement part, so they do exist if you choose to get these. So regardless, you can get these to work.
As for stretching, you're only 8mm away and that's only 4mm on each side. With a good vise, you could definintely get these to work, but I'd buy'em and special order the 130mm brakes instead.
