Fucking Marker bindings!

So one of my M12.0 Free's broke last night! The plate that holds the brake bent up so now the brake is all crooked and janky. I don't even know how it happened... I landed off of a box and all of a sudden my ski popped off. When I went to step back in, it looked all jacked. Weak shit.

Anyone else have bad luck with Markers? I've always used Salomon in the past. I think I'm switching back!

Markers are notorious for the toe pre-releasing.

Trash em.

It seems a lot of people only ever consider salomon and look/rossis. Fischer/Tyrolia make solid bindings, and up to a 17 DIN (fischer x17) have a pivot release heel similar to the old p-series.

And yeah, you should have known better. Markers fucking blow, and have for a while. I reserve judgement on the the new ones next year until I ski them.

Part of my friends Marker binding broke. So I think Marker makes shitty bindings.

This is very true, and although I've never been on them, the 4frnt/vist 412-816 series seem to be pretty solid too.

My markers are pretty solid in my experience. They've held up with pretty much everything I do. I have the Comp14 series with a din up to 14 so its a bit more beefy than the other ones and their only downfall is that theyre kinda on the heavy side. Besides that I trust my markers.
