whats your hieght and weight? what do you keep the din at? how hard do you ski? hows many days?
The Jester did pretty well the past couple of years for durability. There were a few that had issues but that is going to happen with any binding... I was never a fan of Marker bindings thanks to pre-releasing but when it comes to the new Royal Family of bindings I have been pretty impressed by the durability of them. I saw a few minor issues on original Dukes but since then I have heard of very few being sent back for warranty. The major issue was trying to ski a Dalbello Boot in a Griffon/Jester as you could not get the toe to fit properely. The new Griffon and Jester have fixed this issue with a tighter Toe Cup for the 2010 season. If you have a Dalbello boot then buy the new 2010 Jester or Griffon.
