they're both bomber bindings, you can't really go wrong, i'm a fan of the sth16 personally because i find them even beefier but they both kill it

i have heard bad things about jesters with them being lightweight and plastic and all. i personally am partial towards rossi/look bindings. they are so sturdy.

Both are good bindings, but I don't really like how huge those Jesters are.  I wouldn't want them on my skis.

jeesters are so sick... i love mine.

and to the fact that their lightweight^^^^ it doesn't mean they are less durable at all... in fact they are probably more durable

STH is a tried and true design.  The heel has been around for years.

go jesters hands down.. save you weight, super sturdy, and with the width of the binding it rides better on fat skis. i have them on my ar6 and its such a nice set up

STH16 has a wider pattern.  5 screws in heel, its not going anywhere.

Okay well consider this, I have NEVER heard a problem with the STH series, and I have both heard and SEEN numerous pairs of Jesters go down in flames.  Both are a great binding, but there is no reason to risk it the way I see it.

You are still comparing two top end bindings, so in any case they are both going to be durable as fuck

I'd go STH though

I have both, I like them both, both are beefy?  Theyre strong high din bindings... if you want a little less weight, sth.

theyll both do the exact same thing.
