Binding help

So i need new bindings for my new halos skis. This will be used 90% of time in the park. I´m 5'7'' and 140 - 145 of weight.

I need help picking between marker bindings and rossi bindings. I used some marker free 16 last season and they suck, always prereleased and destroyed them in pretty much 2 days of skiing.

This year i can get marker for free, and for the rossi bindings i have to pay. I can get marker jesters, but i´m afraid they will prerelease wich i hate...

So i need your opinions. Will marker jesters do the trick for me?? or do i better spend my money on rossignol axial bindings.

Please help me out!!

jesters are definitely solid. better than griffons at least. and im pretty sure theyre lighter than rossi axials n stuff.

if you can get em for free, grab the jesters, then if they dont work out you can always get the rossis

If you were using the Marker Free the toe piece is prone to pre-release due to the biometric design. There is no coming back once you hit a certain point of release. The jester should not do this as bad, but it is still a Marker!
As for me I am a huge fan of Rossi/Look bindings and will not ride anything else!
If I were you, I would get my free Jesters, sell them and then use those funds to get some Look Pivots!

I would get the jesters if I were you. First, they're free for you. thats a no brainer. Sure, you could sell them and get rossis, but honestly, it would not be worth the hassle. Second, jesters are bomber. I have a pair on my EPs and they are way burly. Never release when they shouldn't, and they always release when they should. The toepiece is super solid and you feel really well connected to your ski. Plus they are pretty light weigt. Thats my 2 cents at least

avoid jesters/griffons please, i dont wanna see a beautiful ski like halos ruined with shitty bindings

sth16s/fks155, take your pick, both are fantastic, much more durable then the shitty royal family markers, and a much better release.
