Griffon VS Jester? (Light Vs Durable ? )
I am thinking which to buy? I don't need the din of the Jester and I don't want the extra weight compared to the griffon.. but on the other hand I am worried about the durability and power transmition of the griffon because it's all plastic..
Is the griffon going to have a worse power transmition that the jester?
Which should a buy?
PS: is there any binding lighter than the griffon?
Thanks!

I wouldn't sweat the durability of the Griffon. I skied dozens and dozens of times on Barons (tour version of Griffon) with no durability issues whatsoever. Yes they are plastic components, but they are well constructed and going to last. I'm not exactly a PSIA guy, so I can't speak to the power transmission of any binding. If you want super light, look into the Salomon Z12 Ti binding as it's listed at 3lbs 11oz for the pair. http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Salomon-Z12-Ti-Ski-Binding/SAL0968M.html I hope this helps!
