Old Jesters

In the past three years I've had the Jesters on my park skis and they've functioned well however, the magnesium track on the heel piece has worn down super thin where it slides on the plastic base plate so that its not safe to use them anymore. This is the second pair this has happened to (pictures coming soon). I do weigh about 180 lbs and ski really hard and do a lot of nose butters. But still this is a pretty serious design flaw in my opinion. I took a look at the new jesters and they seem to have changed that part of the heel piece. These jesters are like 2009-2010 i believe and so were my old ones so i dont know if they will be warrantee able. Let me know what you think.

I would be really suprised if they are still 'warrantiable', usually warranty applies for a year.

Same thing happened to my Jesters (2nd gen, rust colored ones). The plastic actually wore down, both heel pieces wiggled on the tracks and at the pivot points. Probably only 110 days on them too. I think the new ones are much better.

I believe Marker bindings have a three year warranty.  Take them to a Marker dealer and have them contact their rep.

i doubt they'll sent you a new set of bindings but you might be able to get yourself a new set of heel tracks. that should solve your problem
