last weekend i was shreding with some frineds a threw a front flip off of a jump that really is not big at all. when i landed my back binding broke off and there was a peice of metel that had just snaped. i have only had theis bindings since the begining of this season (about 30 days of use) Ok but to the point. they are being sent in  because i guess marker has to see if they can refund me but i need new bindings soon!!!! does anyone know how long this will take?!

Im 90% positive Marker Griffons are entirely plastic (correct me if I'm wrong)
And perhaps your DIN was too high? It seems like you should have ejected but idk the circumstances.
Really not a very helpful post at all

Broke my FKS 120's (have not been in production for like 2 or 3 years at that point). Call Rossi sent them in and they rebuilt them free of charge no questions asked.

I'd assume marker will do the same

my din was at like a 7 and i weigh like 140 and im really fucking hard on my skis so i think the din was fine. i just want to know if anyone has had any experience at sending bindings in?! like how long does it take to get reffunded?

same thing happened to me, but I had the griffon schizos. Was it one of the 4 pieces of plastic that hold the heel piece down? Because that is exactly what happened to me and many others it seems...I went the route of just buying deadbolts and moved right on, and glad I did.

px12s, p12s, axial 120s, and sth 12s are all excellent 12 din bindings. but they're all better than griffins

as I_like_powder said above... they do make low DIN bindings that are awesome bindings, not everyone needs to go up to 16+.

More like 100% plastic. Theres a reason I would never mount griffons or squires on any of my skis.

@op: It sucks that this happened to you, and i really hope marker helps you out and hooks you up with some new bindings. But i'm really not surprised this happened to you.

din range does not equal build quality.
