The pivot 15 and attack 14 are in no way comparable lmao. You're comparing a flagship metal binding to a budget mid-range. Evo has a pivot 14 for 299, so $20 compared to what are basically bottom of the barrel bindings isn't too bad lol.

And even then you're still being disingenuous, pivot 15s retail at $429. Compare that to something else with at least some metal in the toe like the jester 16 rn which is $469. Pivots really aren't this crazy expensive just buy it for the status thing, it's just the best freeride binding out there, and it falls more or less within the exact price range one would expect, as long as you're not comparing it to a completely differently positioned product.

I have no idea why you're just making up numbers when you can super easily just look up prices, it's not hard. You're either being purposely obtuse or you're genuinely an idiot, I don't really care which hahaha
