Jester Schizo mounted at -1 when the adjustment is at +30, f-ing money!  Gives you -1 - -7 mounting positions.

they're plastic pieces of trash that cost more than most durable metal bindings.
you have no idea how many pairs i've seen just get destroyed.

people just buy them thinking they're getting a jester-quality binding for a cheaper price. they're very wrong.

I don't think so. But many people simply don't need a 16 DIN binding and aren't very hard on their gear. I've been really happy with mine. At an 8 DIN I just couldn't justify Jesters.
