The brake will fit fine, but if you only started skiing last year why are you buying an 18din binding? What din setting do you currently ski on. I would think you could spend much less and have a much more appropriate binding for your ability

Well I would recomend a good 12-14 din binding tree is no way you need a 18 din. Have a look at the attack 13 if you want a good deal or the Sth13 if you can afford a bit more. They will be your best bets.

No problem. People often think if they spend more on bindings they are getting a better product, this is not always the case. Having an appropriate product for your ability is the most important factor.

If you still like jester pro from marker you can just check out the jesters.

Unless you're over 220 pounds/ doing insane drops you wont need jester pros. Save money and just buy the jester or griffon. I weigh 210 and am 2ft 2in and use griffons on my bc/powder skis and have never had ejection problems but do keep it at a 13 din. I would only buy the marker jester pros if you plan on using the bindings for the next few (3-5) seasons because I they can take a beating. I have a lot of friends that use them and have demoed them numerous times and the price is pretty much just paying for the name pro added to jesters. But if you feel like splurging and also possibly injuring your ACL go for it!

Good alternatives: Sth 12, tyrolia attack 12/13, griffon, fks in the right din

Another of te issues wit fks is the limited brake sizes. You will have the choice of 90mm or 115mm. The 115 will be way to be and the 90 will need bending. Honestly fks are goo but no better then sth or attack or marker royals. Maybe look for a binding like te sth2 13 where you can get a 100mm brake which will work perfectly.
