Splitboard bindings typically weigh 200-500g more per pair than comparable resort bindings. The additional weight comes from the touring mechanism, heel risers, pivot hardware, and interface system. For context, a typical resort binding pair weighs 900-1300g, while splitboard bindings range from 1200-1800g per pair.
