STH2 seems like somewhat of a blend of the two. I've had half moon cracking issues in the past, may be over-torquing problem. Stepping in powder can be a pain as well. Not the best if you want to share skis due to limited boot adjustment ranges before a remount. Con is the weight, although the swing weight might be less due to the heel design.
On snow feel of the toe and heel design might be the best, as well as anecdotal smoothest release (holds you in when you need and releases when you need). Cons from tiny heel mount pattern could come in the form of pullout strength (not that I've ever seen it). The short mount pattern on the Pivot and heel design help it let the ski flex more naturally (though the STH2 heel does as well). Some claim lateral toe spring improves toe release consistency to the sides. I'm planning on mounting my powder-specific skis with these next season.
I'm curious how people feel these ski in terms of retention and elasticity, as well as on the snow feel. However I dislike the idea of the fixed toe in some falls (vs the Pivot-type toes on the Salomon and Look). Lowest stack height, lightest weight, easy step in, durable, and large boot adjustment range might have the Attacks becoming my new favorite binding. Look Pivot 18: 2490g, Stack height 20mm, Boot Adjustment Range: ~+/- 5mm (note decreased swing weight due to considerably shorter drill pattern). STH2 16: 2290g, Stack Height: 24mm, Boot Adjustment Range: ~+/ 14-16mm The varying level models for each are pretty comparable in price and performance:Ĭan also compare WTR version of look, Attack 14 AT, warden etcįor alpine specifically, weights, stack heights, and boot adjustment ranges are as follows (per pair) for the highest DIN Models:Īttack 16: 2200g, 18 2340g. Curious what people's thoughts are on these three bindings in comparison with each other. All have been discussed before, but not specifically in direct comparison with the other two. I'm bored, no snow, want to discuss something.
