Hydration Pack on SAC and binding question

[ArmyWife]

I came on here to ask a question but clicked on SAC real quick and noticed that they had a nice camelback hydration pack for $26.25. Great deal.

Now for my question. I've been looking at the one luv ski and noticed that I'm basically finding it with the Salomon S811 Binding and with the Marker IBX. Any thoughts on which is better?

Thanks.

Both of those bindings are fine. Some prefer salomon's, but marker is a natural choice with the k2 or volkl line.
You should be comfortable and/or happy with either one.

Thanks. There is SO much equipment out there. How do you keep up? I was reading on Epic in some old posts and they were talking about bindings that mount with 2 screws vs. the new "systems" like the Marker IBX. Said they didn't allow the skis to flex as good (2 screws) as the systems or the bindings that mount with one screw in middle. My problem--what bindings mount with 2 or one. Geeze--it's hard to keep up and find the proper info out there--especially if you're looking at "older" equip as when you go to manufacturers websites they only give specs on the "new" stuff.

I know what you mean, army wife. One thing that keeps me up on the gear, is that I'm the Gear Diva:D
Terrible! I'm almost embarassed at the amount of skis/bindings/boots/etc I own.
Besides that I'm extremely active on Epic Ski and spend a lot of time in the gear section. I really learn a lot. One of my good buddies over there is Phil, who has been described as a "walking enclycopedia for ski info".

Isn't that right Lola?;)
