I don't think you should be allowed to buy bindings by yourself.

No... A comparison would sound like this... "The Marker Griffons are like the Jesters and Dukes", what i wanted to know and was asking, is how the marker griffons compare to other bindings such as the jesters and dukes... not once did i say any of those bindings are alike... i want to know, being cheaper then the jesters and dukes how do the griffons stand up to these more expensive bindings... thats all, we clear everybody?

seriously go to a ski shop, or even fucking dicks sporting goods. talk to someone.

we dont know A how much you weigh, BSL etc. or B how good a skier you are.

chances are you DONT need anything nearly as burly as a jester. let alone an AT binding.

do you have absolutely any idea what a Duke does?


ill clue you in, it does something really cool that both the jesters and griffons cannot do.

jesus christ, the ignorance... all i wanted to know was what you think of them, not if i should get them... if you have them, tell me how you like them... i know, the jesters have a higher DIN level and all that... im planning on getting them and wanted to know people opinions on them... THATS IT!

Dude, i dont know what Dukes do, because i dont care... im asking what you think of griffons... not dukes or anything else... if you dont have griffons, then i guess you dont need to tell me what you think of them... they prolly have higher DIN setting, but whatever...

My friend has griffons on his JJs. He just bought Anthems and bought another pair of griffons so I'm assuming he trusts them and likes them. I have nothing else to say

One of my good friends has Griffons that he absolutely loves. They seem like very nice and well made bindings. I have Barons, and they are super solid. Good construction, and you can just tell the quality when you look at them.

I had a pair of Griffons, they were really light and cut down on swing weight, and they were pretty durable for me...if you destroy bindings get something with more metal, cause Griffons are like 90% plastic and will break if you ski them REALLY hard, but other than that, they're pretty good, I liked them.

and now i have put a good amount of use on his old griffons and they are holding up fine, thanks again brendan. anyway, i have 2 pairs and havent had any serious problems with either of them, both of which were purchased in BST. however i prefer the rossi freeski2 series, especially for the price

If you plan on really throwing down, I do not recommend griffons. There are more durable bindings, and these will do fine for 90% of skiers.
